RC3H1/ROQUIN has already been described in previous studies as an RNA-binding protein that influences the stability of various mRNAs. Until now, however, it…
At first glance, the eyes of mammals and those of insects do not seem to have much in common. However, a comparison of the neural circuits for detecting motion…
Foot mats and carpets in cars should not slip and should provide a firm grip for driver’s and passengers’ feet. Consequently, they need to be precise fit in…
The Roentgen prize of the Justus Liebig University of Giessen has been awarded to junior scientists who have distinguished themselves through excellent…
Summary: New molecular tools are emerging to identify lung adenocarcinomas during pulmonary resection. The results of a proof-of-concept study suggest that…
“The fluorescent dyes currently used for research and for medical diagnosis are limited because they emit a very broad spectrum of light,” explains Seok Hyun…
A team of researchers from Berkeley Lab and Columbia University has passed a major milestone in molecular electronics with the creation of the world's…
Scientists at University of California Davis and San Francisco State University have discovered that the combination of elevated levels of carbon dioxide and…
In order to prevent the transfer of harmful organisms, ships’ ballast water is often subjected to electrochemical disinfection.* “However, our analyses show…
To improve our knowledge on the role microorganisms play in the process of regulating methane in the sea, scientists from the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea…
The advent of ever faster electronics featuring clock rates up to the multiple-gigahertz range has revolutionized our day-to-day life. Researchers and…
This invention provides a device for the agglomeration of very finely distributed solids, colloids, or fibres, especially in elutriates, pasty goods, fine particle systems, and/or liquids (pelletization equipment) with alternative reactor geometry and a new reactor design that makes it possible to improve the agglomeration of suspended particles (with a size of > 1 µm) and to increase throughput of treatable substances, such as sludge or slurry.
Localized conducting nanostructure fabrication by bottom-up approaches, such as focused electron or ion beam induced deposition (FEBID/ FIBID) or selective-area atomic layer deposition (SA-ALD), are more and more frequently used in different application fields. Researchers from the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main have developed a semi-automatic electrical conduction optimization process for these bottom-up techniques. The process is fully customizable, highly efficient and fast.
Nearly four billion years ago, the earliest precursors of life on Earth emerged. First small, simple molecules, or monomers, banded together to form larger,…
Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas? This intriguing question — the title of a talk given by MIT meteorologist Edward…
