Cancer tumors almost never share the exact same genetic mutations, a fact that has confounded scientific efforts to better categorize cancer types and develop…
The findings suggest that the role of tropical forests in offsetting the atmospheric buildup of carbon from fossil fuels depends on tree diversity,…
Researchers at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute have reported the first experimental evidence that supports the theory that a soccer ball-shaped…
Tropical forests speed their own recovery, capturing nitrogen and carbon faster after being logged or cleared for agriculture.Researchers working at the…
The findings will be published online Sept. 15 in two articles in Nature Medicine.The studies, done in mice, identify a previously unexpected link between a…
Phaeocystis globosa is an alga forming harmful blooms in the coastal waters of the North Sea. The decay of algal biomass at the end of the bloom leads to…
In their paper, published this week in Nature Physics, Dr Fernando Brandão (UCL Computer Science) and Dr Michał Horodecki (Institute for Theoretical Physics…
From continental drift and seafloor spreading to oceanic subduction, laying a physical foundation of the plate tectonic theory. This was achieved by the…
But projections of future malaria infection have been hampered by wide variation in rainfall predictions for the region and lack of a malaria-transmission…

The main cause of this is not the stress of travelling, but the lack of oxygen experienced in an aircraft or during high altitude stays in the mountains. By…
Herbivorous insects can cause significant damages in agriculture, resulting in reduced
crop yields, quality and profit for most of the crops worldwide. These…
Carbon monoxide (CO), which is endogenously produced mainly in the course of
heme degradation, was recently recognized as a powerful cytoprotective…
The technology uses an image processing system that works with aerial photographs taken by a camera drone. The system software uses the data from the cameras…
The reason: comprehensive data regarding the exact reusable material potential of these dumps is missing. To close this gap, Fraunhofer UMSICHT is coordinating…
