Around 75 years ago, Italian physicist Ettore Majorana hypothesized the existence of exotic particles that are their own antiparticles. Since then, interest in…
Batteries and super capacitors are electrochemical energy storage media, but they are as different as night and day. Both are capable of energy storage and…
The development of the embryo during pregnancy is one of the most complex processes in life. Genes are strongly activated, and developmental pathways must do…
Normally, every meadow is different, and different species are able to find a suitable habitat somewhere. Intensified human land use leads to a smaller number…
Molecules move randomly, colliding with each other in continual motion. You can even smell this process at times; it's how perfume spreads across a room when…
A new study published in Geology uses pockets of melts trapped within crystals to understand the conditions occurring beneath volcanoes before explosive…
The research shows that weak magnetic fields — far weaker than those that normally interrupt superconductivity — can interact with defects in a material to…
Fluorescence microscopy visualizes the molecular elements of cells. Proteins of nerve cells, for instance, can be labelled using probes which are subsequently…
Common psoriasis, also called psoriasis vulgaris, is an inflammatory skin disease that is characterized by severely scaling skin in areas ranging from small to…
Mobile laser scanning has developed to become one of the most important technologies for the 3D mapping of objects. Installed on measurement cars or trains, on…
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN in 2015 for the period up to 2030 would lead to a global population of between 8.2 to 8.7…
Przewalski’s horses went extinct in the wild in 1968. Successful breeding programmes at zoos around the world helped to reintroduce the animals in the Great…
The trend in architecture and facility management is towards “smart” buildings which, by means of integrated flexible electronics, automatically react on…
In technical systems, membranes can be used to separate gases – in a manner that is more efficient and cost-effective than with established methods. Membrane…
The present invention uses a Peltier cooling instead of the usual nitrogen cooling and therefore shows an improved separation device for impurities, especially gaseous impurities, and, com-pared to the state of art, an improved pump device.
Researchers have linked a debilitating neurological disease in children to mutations in a gene that regulates neuronal development through control of protein…
