Researchers have good news for growers. Farmers raising a nitrogen-hungry crop like sweet corn may save up to half of their nitrogen fertilizer cost. The key:…
These discs are wildly different in size and shape — some contain bright rings, some dark rings, and some even resemble hamburgers. They also differ…
Some of the new quantum technologies ranging from extremely precise sensors to universal quantum computers require a large number of quantum bits in order to…
Decades have been spent investigating how cancer cells manage to reproduce while evading the control of the immune system. So-called immunotherapies are…
Due to mechanization and automation the amount of physical load work has been progressively reduced. Yet for those working in intralogistics, the manual…
They turn light into electricity or vice versa: the inkjet inks developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer IAP can be printed on solid substrates as well as on…
For centuries, the thinking has been that all the nitrogen available for plant growth worldwide comes from the atmosphere. But a new study by National Science…
Scraps of wreckage whizzing around present a serious danger to everything that moves in space. To avoid this debris, it is important to know where it is…
Like veins in the human body, copper cables run through the fuselage of aircrafts. They transmit electrical signals for temperature-measuring sensors, LEDs in…
Cooling devices are considered to be power guzzlers, in which polluting refrigerants are still used, even after the ban on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). An…
The entire system, no bigger than a red blood cell, has myriad technological applications. It offers new ways to miniaturize mechanical oscillators, improve…
The robots are about the same size as a small human diver, but can reach depths of 1000 metres and travel the ocean for months, covering thousands of…
See what is hidden from the human eye. Preserve the view when optical sensors fail. Radars make the invisible visible. Based on millimeter waves penetrating…
Plastics are often used in industrial applications, such as for all sorts of components in production machinery or vehicles. “It is often better than metal in…
If on a warm summer's evening in the beer garden, small beetles dive into your beer, consider giving them a break. Referred to as “ambrosia beetles”, these…
Nanomachines include structures of complex proteins and nucleic acids that are powered with chemical energy and can perform directed movements. The principle…
