Electric school buses that feed the power grid could save school districts millions of dollars — and reduce children’s exposure to diesel fumes — based on…
Their study is available online in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.
Synapses are the contacts between nerve cells that allow the flow of information that makes our brains work. However, the molecular architecture of these…
The development of photovoltaics is far from over. The prices are dropping and their external appearance today ranges from textiles furnished with thin-film…
During this year's Atlantic hurricane season, NASA is redoubling its efforts to probe the inner workings of hurricanes and tropical storms with two unmanned…
“As databases coalesce and policymakers have access to greater information, we see real and improving successes for conservation science,” Gittleman said.
Two of the six instruments that will fly on NOAA's first Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite – R (GOES-R) satellite have completed integration…
Scientists working to understand the devastating bat disease known as white-nose syndrome (WNS) now have a new, non-lethal tool to identify bats with WNS…
In a study in Nature Biotechnology, the researchersdescribe cases in which pVAAST (the pedigree Variant Annotation, Analysis and Search Tool) identified…
Blue I Water Technologies, a global provider of online water analyzers and controllers, is unveiling a new water quality analyzer that has been specially…
As population grows, society needs more — more energy, more food, more paper, more housing, more of nearly everything. Meeting those needs can lead to changes…
Here, relativistic electrons in a storage ring are employed to generate very brilliant and partly coherent light pulses from the THz to the X-ray regime in…
The flue gases from coal-fired power plants contain considerable amounts of CO2. This greenhouse gas can be captured. Researchers and industry are testing…
The protein JAK2 is of special therapeutic significance: its inactivation is believed to destroy cancer cells. However, the effect of JAK2 inhibition on…
An international team of scientists led by the University of Göttingen has discovered a new biological transport mechanism in cells. The researchers from the…
Special attention is directed towards the key technologies microtechnology, nanotechnology, photonics and advanced materials: these technologies make…
