Some materials are like people. Let them relax in the sun for a little while and they perform a lot better.
Thousands of distinct cell types are needed to build a fully developed newborn. Individual cells take on their identities by switching on distinct sets of…
In the same way that a body contains functional organs, every cell contains functional organelles, each with a specific task. In the cell different organelles…
Today, microplastics – plastic particles smaller than 5 millimetres – can be detected everywhere in the environment. Many hundreds of thousands particles per…
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a tool that helps researchers identify the components of a sample. In recent years, the instrument has made its way outside the…
Large planets similar to Neptune or Jupiter, orbiting 50 times closer to their star than the Earth does from the Sun, are thought to be composed of…
Helmets that do a better job of preventing concussions and other brain injuries. Earphones that protect people from damaging noises. Devices that convert…
“If we want to predict corn or soybean production for Illinois or the entire United States, we have to know where they are being grown,” says Kaiyu Guan,…
Researchers at USC and Harvard have developed a new approach to repair cells deep inside the ear — a potential remedy that could restore hearing for millions…
Quantum fluids may mix in very weird ways, according to new computer simulations of exotic states of matter known as Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs).
Fabian Schlaepfer and his colleagues in the experimental group of Ursula Keller at the ETH Institute for Quantum Electronics, together with Angel Rubio and…
How can data be evaluated and interpreted in its entirety in a cloud when the production plant uses different cloud solutions? The partner consortium behind…
Photosynthesis is an essential process for the existence of all organisms on our planet, in which sunlight is converted into biochemical energy. The pigment…
Alongside the well-known hazards of space — freezing temperatures, crushing pressures, isolation — astronauts also face risks from radiation, which can cause…
Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences researchers have developed a statistical method to quantify important ocean measurements from satellite data, publishing…
The diversity of animals is one of the most fascinating aspects of nature. All habitats on the planet, be it land, water, or air, are occupied by species with…
