You seem to be standing in the plasma vessel looking around: Where otherwise plasmas with temperatures of several million degrees are being investigated, with…
“Human emissions of greenhouse gas are not the sole determinant of temperature on Earth. Our study suggests that human-induced global warming of 2°C may…
Working with the example of koalas, the researchers have now identified key stages in the process, called “endogenization”, by which a host is invaded by…
The average smartphone user looks at a display about 88 times a day, not counting viewing smaller smart watches or other displays. Displays of all kinds have…
Imaging tools like X-rays and MRI have revolutionized medicine by giving doctors a close up view of the brain and other vital organs in living, breathing…
Every day, billions of “old” cells get replaced by “new” cells in our body. Maintaining this balance between cell division and cell death is of great…
Autoimmune diseases are chronic inflammatory diseases in which immune cells erroneously attack the body’s own cells or tissue. In these diseases which, for…
Studying the surface structures of nanoparticles at atomic resolution is vital to understanding the chemical properties of their structures, molecular…
Lipids and membrane proteins existing in cell membranes, which locates at the outermost layer of cells, are responsible for recognizing extracellular…
Consider a short piece of rope: could you guess which knots are more likely to form if you crumple and shake it? Synthetic chemists have long been working on a…
Grain boundaries separate the individual crystals composing a material and are omnipresent “defects” in most functional and structural materials. While they…
Tropical soils may be rich in nitrogen, but poor in phosphorus useable by plants. Many tropical tree species–usually in the bean (legume) family–have nodules…
“Life-saving bone marrow transplants have been the common practice for decades, but this doesn't work for everybody,” says Stowers Institute Investigator…
The interplay of symmetry, relativistic effects and, in magnetic materials, the magnetic structure, allows for the realization of a wide variety of topological…
The team of Christian Hertweck observed in a synthesis study that certain ring-shaped molecules, co-called bis-arylsulfonamides, convert into a blue…
The junior research group led by biophysicist Dr. Christoph Westerhausen at the Chair of Experimental Physics I at the University of Augsburg, in cooperation…
