How do baboons succeed in coordinating the movements of their group? Biologists at the University of Konstanz study these organisms in the wild to find out…
Anyone who has dragged himself along a sunny coastal path at the height of summer with too little water in his bag knows all too well: without water, we cannot…
However, the diversification of this platform into applications other than microcircuits and visible light cameras has been impeded by the difficulty to…
Engineers at the University of California, Riverside have developed a new way to recover almost 100 percent of the water from highly concentrated salt…
Microbes in the soil add between 44 billion and 77 billion tons of carbon to the atmosphere each year — more than all fossil fuels combined — through a…
In order to produce 3D microstructured materials for automobile components, for instance, Empa researchers have been using a 3D printing method called “Direct…
Whether fly, mouse or human, circadian clocks are the central mechanisms that drive circadian rhythms in all animals. However, the notion of one, central clock…
Graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms. It is transparent, harder than diamond and stronger than steel, yet flexible, and a significantly better…
At the end of 2016, the three-year EU project “DEMETER” (Demonstrating more efficient enzyme production to increase biogas yields) started. The research…
The sophisticated vocal communication systems of birds and mammals are characterized by a high degree of plasticity in which signals are individually adjusted…
The Archaea are one of the Earth's most genetically and ecologically diverse groups of micro-organisms.
The research team, led by clinical researchers at Intermountain Healthcare's Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City, studied nearly 1,900 hep C…
Nagoya, Japan – What to do proteins and Kevlar have in common? Both feature long chain molecules that are strung together by amide bonds. These strong chemical…
While the moon's edge appears smooth in these images, it's actually quite uneven. The surface of the moon is rugged, sprinkled with craters, valleys and…
Carbon dioxide is a major cause of global warming. Therefore, in order to control atmostpheric carbon dioxide concentration, many countries are actively…
The researchers demonstrated the feasibility of using plasma to amplify short laser pulses of picojoule-level energy up to 100 millijoules, which is a 'gain'…
