Modern production technologies in the automobile industry must become more flexible in order to fulfil individual customer requirements.
Like starfish and sea urchins, sea cucumbers are echinoderms, with about 14,000 species currently known. They live in all marine environments from the Arctic…
Sixty-five million years ago, a 15-kilometer-sized asteroid wiped out two-thirds of all life on Earth, including the dinosaurs. But it’s probably not this kind…
How the bicep tenses is no longer a secret. In every muscle cell there are so-called myofibrils, which contract at the same time. They are responsible for…
A closed carbon loop is based on the constant conversion of carbon dioxide by energy – ideally from renewable sources. For example, this power can be used to…
YNU researchers resolve the age-old mystery of why silicon cannot replace carbon in organic compounds. A new benchmark quantum chemical calculation of C2, Si2,…
To fight cancer, researchers increasingly use vaccines that stimulate the immune system to identify and destroy tumour cells. However, the desired immune…
A team of physicists at the University of Vermont have discovered a fundamentally new way surfaces can get wet. Their study may allow scientists to create the…
But the information the biomarkers provide can be limited. For some diseases, for example, they can be used to determine how far the illness has advanced, but…
The perfect butler, as every fan of British social drama knows, has a special ability: He senses his employer’s wishes before they have even been uttered. The…
Biologists get a new look at plant biodiversity and function with new imaging technology developed at the University of Alberta.
Detailed brain cell analysis has helped researchers uncover new mechanisms thought to underlie Parkinson's disease.
A new study by Waldemar Gorski, professor and chair of the UTSA Department of Chemistry, and Stanton McHardy, associate professor of research in chemistry and…
John Bracht, American University biology assistant professor, and his students discovered a new type of cell state that could help ensure one always has the…
But a magnet-controlled “switch” in superconductor configuration provides unprecedented flexibility in managing the location of vortex filaments, altering the…
A theorized but never-before detected property of quantum matter has now been spotted in the lab, a team of scientists reports.
