Quark-gluon plasmas are among the subjects that have been most extensively researched by physicists in recent times. Thanks to the largest particle…
A ripe apple falling from a tree has inspired Sir Isaac Newton to formulate a theory that describes the motion of objects subject to a force. Newton’s…
Researchers at Heidelberg University have gained new knowledge on the possible biological function of patellamides. In laboratory experiments, they were able…
Some materials luminesce, changing their color and intensity when under mechanical forces such as grinding or rubbing. These luminescent “mechanochromic”…
A giant gas planet – up to 50x the mass of Jupiter, encircled by a ring of dust – is likely hurtling around a star over 1000 light years away from Earth,…
The new evidence comes from an analysis that combined surface temperatures with information about how much light is reflected off the moon's surface.
The researchers say that conditions will continue to worsen because the atmospheric carbon dioxide primarily to blame for this increase in acidification has…
A holiday trip to the south with a fully occupied car. A long-distance truck with a total weight of 40 tonnes. Not all requirements for the mobility of persons…
The World Health Organization WHO is currently warning of an antibiotics crisis. The fear is that we are moving into a post-antibiotic era, during which simple…
Principle investigators of the study, Artem Rudenko and Daniel Rolles, both assistant professors of physics at Kansas State University, successfully used short…
Two years ago, an international team of researchers showed that by manipulating electron spin at a quantum magnetic tunneling junction — a nanoscale sandwich…
The lab of Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin at EPFL in collaboration with Michael Grätzel and Solaronix company has engineered what is known as 2D/3D hybrid…
A detour on the road to regenerative medicine for people with muscular disorders is figuring out how to coax muscle stem cells to fuse together and form…
Herbivores digest their food much better if it has been strongly fragmented by intensive mastication. For ruminants such as cows, sheep, goats, deer, llamas or…
A few years ago, Jürgen Knoblich and his team at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) have pioneered brain…
“It is fascinating that it is not entirely clear how metformin works, although it has been used clinically for 60 years”, says Fredrik Bäckhed, Professor of…
