“Chimpanzees are in crisis,” said Lilian Pintea, a remote sensing specialist and vice president of conservation science for the Jane Goodall Institute, Vienna,…
The human body is a never-ending construction site: Proteins are permanently being decomposed and replaced. But this perpetual reconstruction does not inhibit…
In nature, mechanical stimuli such as muscle movements ensure that animals’ legs adhere to surfaces and can be detached again. The scientists in Kiel are using…
MD&M West in Anaheim is considered to be the world's largest trade fair for design and manufacturing in medical technology. The visitors of MD&M West are…
Energy storage systems of electronic components have short lifetimes especially in winter which can be safety-relevant for longer outdoor activities . The present invention includes a means for energy production during nordic skiing activities. The mechanical energy of the pivoting foot movement is transformed into electric energy that can be used for the continual recharging of the energy reservoir.
The Ultrafast Optical Processing Group at INRS (Institut national de la recherche scientifique) has redefined the limitations and constraints for ultra-fast…
A Swedish-German team of researchers has cleared up a key process for the artificial production of silk. With the help of the intense X-rays from DESY's…
This new human skin is one of the first living human organs created using bioprinting to be introduced to the marketplace. It replicates the natural structure…
These findings, published in the Journal of Experimental Botany, could help scientists further boost the yields of corn and Miscanthus, as well as other C4…
MicroRNAs pair up with messenger RNAs to turn down the production of proteins. But there are far more of the messenger RNAs in the crowd, leaving scientists to…
An international panel of experts will review the proposals on the basis of scientific excellence. After successful review of their proposals, research groups…
Chemists at Carnegie Mellon University have demonstrated that synthetic nanoparticles can achieve the same level of structural complexity, hierarchy and…
When spring comes to the Arctic, the breakup of the cold winter ice sheets starts at the surface with the formation of melt ponds. These pools of melted snow…
That plasma can eventually interact with magnetic fields surrounding the Earth, endangering communications networks and power systems. In fusion facilities,…
For decades, researchers have been working on improving sensor networks. A key design goal is to keep the cost of individual sensors (such as cameras and…
