STIX (short for Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-rays) is designed to measure X-ray radiation emitted from the hot corona, the outer solar atmosphere….
Researchers from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin were able to positively influence the immune response in severe viral and bacterial co-infection. Using a…
For plants, seed dormancy has a particular importance. It ensures that a seed does not germinate outside season – for example during warm weather in winter –…
The cerebellum is an area of brain at the back of your head involved in movement. Its neuronal circuitry is relatively simple compared to other areas, but…

Friction: what you want from car brakes, otherwise rather a nuisance. In any case, it is useful to know as precisely as possible how friction phenomena arise –…
Individual visual stimuli are not processed independently by our brain. Rather neurons exchange incoming information to form a coherent perceptual image from…
When a foreign substance invades our body, the body produces antibodies that recognise and fight the intruder. In specialised regions of the lymph nodes,…
RNA molecules are individual transcripts of the cell’s DNA. They transfer the genetic information of the DNA and provide a template for the production of…
A new tool for computational design allows users to turn any 3D shape into a collapsible telescoping structure. New mathematical methods developed by…
During the incomplete combustion of organic substances polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are created. The most well-known of these substances is…
He is the lead author of a recent article in Physics of Fluids, “Ionic Liquid Ferrofluid Interface Deformation and Spray Onset Under Electric and Magnetic…
What would a simple technique to remove thin layers from otherwise thick, rigid semiconductor crystals mean for the semiconductor industry? This concept has…
Innovative thinking could improve the way biological samples are processed and transported from space back to research labs on Earth for future studies. This…
