One of the main challenges is to make sure that a fully functional quantum computer is working as anticipated. In particular, scientists need to show that the…
In regenerative medicine, and particularly in burn therapy, the effective regeneration of damaged skin tissue and the prevention of scarring are usually the…
Thermoelectric devices, which can generate power when one side of the device is a different temperature from the other, have been the subject of much research…
Climatologists are often asked, “Is climate change making hurricanes stronger?” but they can't give a definitive answer because the global hurricane record…
Immense dark storms on Neptune were first discovered in the late 1980s by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft. Since then, only Hubble has had the sharpness in blue…

The study results from Jena are in keeping with outcomes reported by the European Environment Agency (EEA) of loss in life years due to disease resulting from…
Through certain genetic modifications, the process of evolution has resulted in a great variety of adaptations to different environments in the animal kingdom….
The Australian fire beetle is attracted to freshly burnt wood. Experts also call this pyrophilia (“love of fire”). This behavior is not very common in insects….
In the future, highly-sensitive sensors could be able to detect magnetic signals from the body in order to draw conclusions on heart or brain functions. In…
There is growing interest from academia and industry in high-temperature shape memory alloys, as these represent a fascinating field both from a basic science…
Stress a muscle and it gets stronger. Mechanically stress the rubbery material – say with a twist or a bend – and the material automatically stiffens by up to…
Temperature control systems play an important role in plastics processing. Products will only achieve the desired surface and properties if the temperature of…
In a short space of time, immunotherapy, that is to say therapies based on stimulating the immune system against cancer cells, has become a powerful approach…
