One phenomenon that fascinated Charles Darwin and many other researchers since, is the emergence of huge, complex insect societies. Even more exciting is that…
On the basis of a unique global comparison of data from core samples extracted from the ocean floor and the polar ice sheets, AWI researchers have now…
Research on HIV over the past decade has led to many promising ideas for vaccines to prevent infection by the AIDS virus, but very few candidate vaccines have…
Research groups from University of Jyväskylä and Aalto University (Finland) together with researchers from California Institute of Technology (Caltech, USA)…
A research team from the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has found the first evidence that a shaking motion in the…
A central question in biology is how entire organisms develop from single fertilized eggs. And although genetic research has revealed deep insights into this…
Liquid crystals (LCs) are chemical substances that enter mesophase (the state between solid matter and liquid) within a certain range of temperatures. Liquid…
This production might soon be in the past. In a new study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen together with colleagues from Åbo Akademi University…
Their work, “Magnetically Responsive Elastomer-Silicon Hybrid Surfaces for Fluid and Light Manipulation,” was recently featured on the cover of Small.
Matt Reagor, lead author of the paper, says: “We've developed a technique that enables us to reduce interference between qubits as we add more and more qubits…
Extremely distant galaxies are usually too faint to be seen, even by the largest telescopes. But nature has a solution: gravitational lensing, predicted by…
Mars developed in as little as two to four million years after the birth of the solar system, far more quickly than Earth, according to results of a new study…
In a new study, researchers at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute used an innovative method to screen a broad range of kinases for a drug's…
The Science Barometer Switzerland published in 2016 showed a clear picture: Swiss people are interested in science and research, and think they are worth…
Moist cold intake air in the winter months can easily lead to icing of the filter. The filters then allow only minimal airflow and the gas turbine must be…
Engineers at the University of California, Riverside, have reported advances in so-called “spintronic” devices that will help lead to a new technology for…
