An important intermediary step in many chemical processes is ionization. A typical example of this is photosynthesis. The reactions take only a few…
The remotely operated vehicle surfaces again, and this time it has brought up a cold-water coral from a depth of almost 2,000 meters (ca. 6,600 feet). On board…
And one of the most recent steps forward is appearing today on peer-reviewed journal Science Advances, as a result of a new collaboration between physicists…
Multicellular organisms like ourselves depend on a constant flow of information between cells, coordinating their activities in order to proliferate and…
5G: mobile networks of the next Generation
Be it in spider silk, wood, the spaces between body cells, in tendons, or as a natural sealant for small wounds: protein fibres are found virtually everywhere…
A new ultrathin, elastic display that fits snugly on the skin can show the moving waveform of an electrocardiogram recorded by a breathable, on-skin electrode…
Cell division is an intricately choreographed ballet of proteins and molecules that divide the cell. During mitosis, microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs)…
Bees? Great. Ants? Hit or miss. Slime mold amoebas? Fail. Though nature offers excellent design inspirations in some information technology systems, in other…
With their insensitivity to decoherence what are known as Majorana particles could become stable building blocks of a quantum computer. The problem is that…
The international team, led by the University of Cambridge, found that calcium can mediate the interaction between small membranous structures inside nerve…
Small lakes with a surface area of less than 100 m2 represent the majority of global freshwater ecosystems. Many of these lakes are found in remote, often…
The necessity to relocate the commercial production to a company is due in particular to the rapid market development of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented…
In the self-assembly process, the semiconducting polymer arranges itself into an ordered monolayer in a transistor. The transistors are binary switches used…
