You probably hadn't noticed — but the head shape and overall size of rodents has been changing over the past century. A University of Illinois at Chicago…
Scientists have debated how many mass extinction events in Earth's history were triggered by a space body crashing into the planet's surface. Most agree that…
Biomolecular computers, made of DNA and other biological molecules, only exist today in a few specialized labs, remote from the regular computer user….
Chitosan is a linear co-polymer of glucosamine (D) and N-acetyl-glucosamine (A) units. Enzymatic degradation of this co-polymer by chitinases or chitosanases…
The present invention is a novel principle for the use of electroactive polymers (EAPs). It is realised by a tubular device that contains the polymer. An…
The novel process permits simple and direct monitoring of plants, and in particular of the oxygen supply to their roots. Various measurements on the surfaces…
The present invention permits to produce large-scale macroporous metal films and three-dimensional structures.
The simple process uses renewable raw…
Organic photovoltaics, which rely on organic molecules to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, are a hot research area because in principle they…
Italian and U.S. biologists this week report that a little-understood protein previously implicated in a rare genetic disorder plays an unexpected and critical…
Scheduled for the Aug. 12 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, it also challenges the widespread belief that most of garlic's benefits are…
Xinsheng Zheng and colleagues note that an energy-hungry world, concerned about global warming, increasingly puts its future fuel hopes on renewable fuels like…
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have discovered that the Amazon river, and its transcontinental drainage, is around 11 million years old and took…
The discovery overturns a long-held held view that the agile walking and climbing skills of the lesser short-tailed bat – Mystacina tuberculata – evolved in…
Using different state-of-the-art techniques on ESO's Very Large Telescope, two independent teams of astronomers have obtained the sharpest ever views of the…
Surprisingly, this ancient question remains unanswered because of the complex geometry of the packing of the sweets. Moreover, as any contestant knows,…
Man-made carbon emissions “are affecting marine biological processes from genes to ecosystems over scales from rock pools to ocean basins, impacting ecosystem…
