This is a veritable mechanics of aggression on the nanoscale. Certain bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, have the ability to deploy tiny darts. This…
To boost performance, research groups have tried creating new plastic materials that enhance the flow of electricity through the solar cell. Several groups…
“We've shown how normally destructive mechanical forces can be channeled to bring about stronger materials,” said Duke chemist Steve Craig, who led the…
A team of researchers have shown that schizophrenia and a disorder associated with autism and learning difficulties share a common biological pathway. This is…
Research groups headed by Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Pfanner, Dr. Nils Wiedemann, and Dr. Thomas Becker from the University of Freiburg and their colleagues have…
The three-year research project, funded by the National Centre for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in California, has shown widespread systemic shifts in…
Doctors might someday use the approach to treat a variety of mitochondrial diseases, including the degenerative eye disease Leber hereditary optic neuropathy…
Oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth's surface, yet our knowledge of the impact of climate change on marine habitats is a mere drop in the proverbial ocean…
A team of researchers from Philadelphia and Norway has determined the structure of an enzyme complex that modifies one end of most human proteins and is made…
In a loud, crowded restaurant, having the ability to focus on the people and conversation at your own table is critical. Nerve cells in the brain face similar…
One of the quickest and most compact satellite computers in the work was inaugurated today at the University of Stuttgart. The computer is the centrepiece of…
“It appears to be an intrinsic feedback mechanism in glucose metabolism, but I suspect that its other functions throughout the cell will prove at least as…
Reaching a clinic in time to receive an early diagnosis for cancer — when the disease is most treatable — is a global problem. And now a team of Chinese…
The simulation was made possible by the development of advanced novel data structures for the simulation software NEST. The relevance of the achievement for…
Endocannabinoids are natural signaling molecules that activate cannabinoid receptors in the brain, the same receptors turned on by the active ingredient in…
Research published today in the journal Ecology Letters shows that a process known as ‘metabarcoding’ is much faster than and just as reliable as standard…
