A video describing the SINGLE project. SINGLE is a project supported by the 7th framework programme for research and technological development (FP7) of the European Union. The research project is a collaborative project - a small / medium scaled focused research project (STREP) on how to couple charge transport to internal degrees of freedom at the single molecule level. The project will be carried out by a collaboration of these institutions, coordinated by Prof. Thomas Bjørnholm of...

Feedback is a fundamental concept in Natural and Engineered systems. Not only is it fundamental, it is pervasive. From the smallest scales inside cells to the largest scales of geo-spatial weather patterns; it keeps natural systems in balance and prevents any one aspect of a natural system from becoming problematic. Feedback also governs systems developed by humans. In engineered systems it is also pervasive. It provides the ability to continuously balance tradeoffs between competing...

Our understanding of fundamental concepts like force, definition of mass and the inverse square law of gravity appears to be flawed. Our entire underdstanding of science is dependent on these very basic concepts. This three part series explores the validity of these concepts.
