because it doesn't put any constraints on the origin of the civilisation or their willingness to communicate.

Could that mean we have already found alien civilisations that have spread across galaxies? If by'found them'you mean that WISE detected the waste heat from them then yes that's right

Through a combination of surface tension and tilting pillars water climbed up the array following the direction of the pillars.

while tilting the pillars at various angles and found she could control how much light passed through based on the angle at which the pillars bent.

In principle she says more complex magnetic fields could be designed to create intricate tilting patterns throughout an array.

Or depending on how you design the magnetic field you could get the pillars to close in like a flower.

what makes culture and history so fascinating and their trade weighs quite heavily in today's economies.

In 2013 the global art market generated some EUR 47.42 billion according to the European Fine art Foundation.

To give an example let us consider a wall painting or an easel painting: from a physicochemical point of view the painting is layered typically a structure the surface layers usually being painted the part.

Moreover the materials are usually porous or exhibit a complex composition they can be classified as composite materials

We could compare preservation of cultural heritage to medicine where the works of art play the role of the patients:

but must then be complemented by the development of medicines (advanced restoration materials) to cure the patient (restore the work of art).

and vinyl polymers that seriously damage the painting and in many cases have led to the loss of painted surfaces.

gels and microemulsions for the cleaning of wall and easel paintings have been branded as Nanorestore Gel and Nanorestore Cleaning.

and materials for modern and contemporary works of art such as acrylic paintings plastic sculptures and composite works that include metal textiles polymers etc.

In order to address this challenge we have created a unique partnership that groups research institutions and materials science experts together with high-profile museums conservation centres and experienced professionals in the field of modern art preservation.
