The agriculture industry accounts for one quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily due to fertiliser use, livestock farming and changes in land…
The milky sap of the dandelion shows similarities to that of the rubber tree, and most importantly contains caoutchouc – the raw material for rubber production.
The final meeting of the EU project VascuBone took place on March 30-31, 2015 in the Würzburg Congress Centre. The goal of this project was to improve bone…
Researchers from Goethe University and the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Frankfurt have developed new functionalized nanomembranes as smart transmission electron microscopy support films. These nanomembranes facilitate and accelerate structure analysis by enabling in situ separation/ isolation of tagged biomolecules from raw mixtures.
In this case, the print features are very fine – visible only with the aid of a high-powered electron microscope.
Compared with existing sensors, it is much smaller, has a simpler construction, requires considerably less energy and has an entirely different functional…
Scientists in the STAR collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, http://www.bnl.gov/rhic/), a particle accelerator exploring nuclear physics…
A new way of rapidly identifying bacteria, which requires a slight modification to a simple microscope, may change the way doctors approach treatment for…
In a study posted online on June 5, 2015, and to be published in the July 2015 issue of Genome Research, the researchers reported that the gene-editing…
Nature is master of the astonishing ability to duplicate itself. The self-replication of DNA and RNA molecules is the basis of human life. Prof. Böker would…
Films represent an important area of the plastics industry. The range of applications is diverse, from flexible films for the packaging sector, to bags and…
