Bioengineers and physicians at the University of California, San Diego have developed a potential new therapy for critical limb ischemia, a condition that…
NASA's Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft is in thermal vacuum testing, designed to…
NASA recently selected a miniaturized version of the original X-ray camera to fly as a CubeSat mission to study Earth's magnetic cusps – regions in the…
Language is one of the defining characteristics of human beings: It enables us to generate unlimited meanings from a finite number of phonetic elements. Using…
Ever stricter emissions requirements in the automotive sector are an imperative for OEMs to reassess energy saving potentials and to search for smart…
An amputee was able to feel smoothness and roughness in real-time with an artificial fingertip that was surgically connected to nerves in his upper arm….
“This research is vital to everyone concerned about sustaining diverse, healthy, productive forests and the associated ecosystem services, commodities, and…
The Fraunhofer-Institute for Production Technology IPT in Aachen, in collaboration with its partners within various engineering groups, is currently…
CaSSIS (Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System) has been developed by a team led by the University of Bern. It is scheduled to be launched on a PROTON rocket…
The HI virus triggers the immunodeficiency disease AIDS. The infection has a chronic course – the immune system is not able to get rid of the pathogen. This is…

A characteristic of insect societies such as ants is the way tasks are distributed among group members. Not only queens and worker ants have clearly defined…
The Invention describes novel analogues of 14-methoxymetopon(14-MM) a µpioid receptor (MOR) Ligand with a unique pharmacological Profile, for the Treatment of moderate-to-severe acute and chronoc pain.
The Invention describes a novel class of kappa Opioid receptor (KOR) ligands which can be used for the therapy of a variety of human disorders.
The present invention relates to new water soluble single source intumescent flame retardants. The commonly used retardants are often seen as a health concern and tend to falsify the natural look of wood.
The purely optical compensation of errors in encoder readings allows for robust sensor design with alignment-free assembly of the encoder disc. Due to a diffractive compensation track the beam spot on the measuring track can be compensated prior to sensor signal generation.
