200 meticulously selected young researchers from over 50 nations gather in Heidelberg from August 23 – 28 to meet the recipients of the ACM A.M. Turing Award,…
Chitosan is a real all-rounder – a sustainable raw material with very useful properties. For example: the substance obtained from chitin stimulates the immune…
Technical assistance systems can improve the difficult working conditions in residential nursing homes and hospitals by helping the staff in their work and…
On August 18 at 03:37 UTC (11:37 p.m. EDT, Aug. 17) the AIRS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite gathered infrared data on Atsani. In a false-colored image…
Scientists at Johns Hopkins report they have deciphered the structure and unusual shape of a bacterial protein that prepares segments of DNA for the insertion…
“FERARI is intended to provide a general sense of relief to data processing systems. The individual sensors of the associated machines ultimately decide for…
In the Arctic, warming increases like a spiral. Global warming means that the periods of growth are becoming longer and vegetation growth is increasing. At the…
Arylboronates are important base materials for the industrial fabrication of countless products, including pharmaceutical drugs, chemicals for agriculture or…
With around 70 million euros, the World Bank participates in the construction of a total of six biogas plants in Hebei province, China. Together with…
When normal body cells escape the control from their peers, a tumour can form and eventually lead to cancer. Scientists have been struggling to understand how…
For the first time, a scientific survey provides a global overview of the naturalisation and distribution of plants on continents outside their native ranges.
For reproduction, sea urchins release their eggs and sperm into the vast ocean. There, sperm are facing the difficult task to find an egg, which is only a…
This development enables the simple, wet-chemical, microwave-assisted production of non-agglomerating nanoparticles (e.g. titanium oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium dioxide) from metal salts.
Key advantages of this development include the production of nanoparticles of variable sizes and the prevention of agglomeration.
Scientists from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main have developed the so-called STRAP (Steering of Tonotopic Rate Adaptive Pitch) procedure for optimizing the stimulation strategy for cochlea implants. By position-dependent adjustment of the stimulation rate to each individual electrode, a much more precise pitch perception is achieved.
Diamondoids are molecules whose framework structure constitutes a section of the diamond lattice. Due to their size in the range of 0.5-2 nm, they can be considered as ?nano-diamonds? with a hydrogen-terminated surface.
Since they are extremely similar to diamonds and therefore possess many of their positive properties, diamondoids have the potential to serve as an enabling technology.
