“Photosynthetic performance is a key trait to monitor as it directly translates to yield potential,” said Kaiyu Guan, an assistant professor in the College of…
The island chain of Hawaii consists of several volcanoes, which are fed by a “hotspot”. In geosciences a “hotspot” refers to a phenomenon of columnar shaped…
The core region of the Atacama Desert in South America is one of the most arid places on Earth. Sometimes it is raining only once in a decade or even less, the…
Biological soil crusts protect the soil, accelerate the rate of soil formation and contribute to biogeochemical nutrient cycling via fixation of atmospheric…
Single-cell analysis holds enormous potential to study how individual cells influence disease and respond to treatment, but the lack of cost-effective and…
The slide is made of a 'nanoplasmonic' material — its surface is coated in millions of gold nanostructures, each just a few billionths of a square meter in…
The nights in the German federal states („Bundesländer”) have been getting brighter and brighter – but not everywhere at the same rate and with one peculiar…
The tropical rainforests of Central and South America are home to the largest diversity of plants on this planet. Nowhere else are there quite so many…
What effect does a particular cancer medicine or radiation therapy have on patients? To find out, physicians use CT images to determine whether a tumor’s size…
The aim of these guidelines is to standardise data capture in this area of research and thereby guarantee, and indeed improve the quality of clinical research….
The scientists, led by Tahar Amari, an astrophysicist at the Center for Theoretical Physics at the École Polytechnique in Palaiseau Cedex, France, considered…
What is inside an atom, between the nucleus and the electron? Usually there is nothing, but why could there not be other particles too? If the electron orbits…
“This collaborative work is an exciting step forward in our collective efforts to gain a greater understanding of our own galaxy and the super-massive black…
With his scientific article entitled “GaSe oxidation in air: from bulk to monolayers,” Mahfujur Rahaman has made an important contribution to physics research…
Regulatory T cells are critical controllers of the immune response. The majority of T cells boost the immune response enhancing the ability to destroy cancer…
Scientists had already theoretically predicted that specifically structured surfaces can turn the wavefronts of light upside down when it propagates along…
