The historic first detection of gravitational waves from colliding black holes far outside our galaxy opened a new window to understanding the universe. A…
Leaky systems have limited how engineers design thermoacoustic devices that rely on the interplay between temperature oscillations and sound waves. Researchers…
The team say that by altering artificial cell membranes they can now get the cells to stick together like 'stickle bricks' – allowing them to be arranged into…
Interestingly, the loss of ice from the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) took place not only during the warm Holocene period, but also during a period…
Now researchers from The Scripps Research Institute are reporting an innovative new method to screen for potential cancer drugs. The technique makes use of…
In Germany, approximately 38,000 tons of medicines, including hormones, antibiotics and antivirals, are consumed annually. Their residues are increasingly…
This infrared resonance can then be used to identify or “fingerprint” the molecules.
In flies, as in humans, the sperm cell (spermatozoon) is made up of the cell body proper, also referred to as the sperm “head”, and the flagellum. The…
“This campaign achieved most of our primary objectives in surveying the state of Arctic ice,” said IceBridge's acting project scientist Joe MacGregor. “We've…
Light detection and control lies at the heart of many modern device applications, such as the camera you have in your phone. Using graphene as a…
Historically, our view of host defense against infection was that we must eliminate pathogens to eradicate disease. However, this perspective has recently been…
Neurons in the mammalian retina transform light patterns into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain. Reconstructing light patterns from neuron…
Producing living tissue or organs based on human cells is one of the main research fields in regenerative medicine. Tissue engineering, which involves growing…
But DNA's remarkable versatility doesn't end there. Researchers have managed to coax segments of DNA into performing a host of useful tricks. DNA sequences can…
Winter sports such as skiing, speed skating, figure skating, and curling require the slippery surfaces of ice and snow. While the fact that the ice surface is…
Especially for longer coating processes it is important to check the optics for defect growth and inclusions during the process.
