Earth’s magnetic field, a familiar directional indicator over long distances, is routinely probed in applications ranging from geology to archaeology. Now it…
It is called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator and can be used on buildings, cell phones and any other device that has a clear surface.
Two Northwestern University scientists have identified a biomarker strongly associated with basal-like breast cancer, a highly aggressive carcinoma that is…
Gliomas – a type of tumor that begins in the brain or spine – are the most common and deadly form of brain cancer in adults, making up about 80 percent of…
A new study by Cornell University researchers sought to answer that very question by tracking the purchasing records in a supermarket chain that uses the…
As people grow older, they often have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, and tend to awaken too early in the morning. In individuals with…
Scientists at the University of Göttingen developed different monoclonal antibodies directed against the human / rat C3a-receptor. C3aR functions as a receptor for the C3a fragment of the complement factor C3, but also binds C4a. C3a binding to the C3a-receptor causes mast cell degranulation (anaphylatoxin).
Scientists at the University of Göttingen produced different monoclonal antibodies directed against the rat CD88 cell surface receptor, also known as C5aR. C5aR functions as a receptor for the C5a fragment of the complement factor C5. These antibodies can be used to identify C5aR in tissues or cultured cells.
Agile, driven wrist joint with three rotational degrees of freedom: The invention describes a new kind of driven joint, using a specific arrangement of (bevel) gears and motors, which, in combination with a C-shaped rail allow for an energy efficient and accurate usage while having significantly less difficulties with singularities.
Tropical cyclones are usually a couple of hundred miles in diameter. The average size of a tropical cyclone is around 304 nautical miles (350 miles/600 km) in…
Previous research shows that Ophiocordyceps camponoti-rufipedis, known as the “zombie ant fungus,” controls the behavior of carpenter ant workers — Camponotus…
Hurricane Karina formed on August 13, 2014 off the Mexican coast. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission or TRMM satellite passed directly above the center of…
In their report published in Nature Materials, the investigators describe an stands for epithelial-mesenchymal transition, a fundamental change in cellular…
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Aarhus University in Denmark have, for the first time, found a way to determine the potential combined…
Cost pressure in the market for meat and dairy products is increasing. This also raises manufacturers’ interest in lowering energy consumption for the…
