During Christmas time people exchange traditionally kisses under mistletoes. While mistletoes are welcome in private, they may not if populating trees in vast…
The findings show that the glaciation might have started some 20,000 later than was previously assumed.”It's important that we get to the bottom of when the…
The interplay between the electronic properties and atoms of a crystal is the origin of many fascinating phenomena such as superconductivity. Physicists from…
A new type of biological camera can trace several different molecules at once in a live animal Doctors and scientists can visualize specific biological…
Disease-causing pathogens carry unique molecular motifs that can be recognized by plants. The motifs, known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns or PAMPs,…
Our understanding of the electronic structure of atoms has changed very little since the development of quantum mechanics almost three-quarters of a century…
The mechanism whereby embryonic cells stop being flexible and turn into more mature cells that can develop into specific tissues has been discovered by…
After a planning and construction time of less than three months, the unit went into service today. The solar power installation will generate more than 750…
Assistant Professor Dr. Ulrike Stein, Professor Peter M. Schlag, and Professor Walter Birchmeier were able to demonstrate that the gene MACC1…

Learning how leukemia takes over privileged “niches” within the bone marrow is helping researchers develop treatment strategies that could protect healthy…
A new type of highly sensitive microscopy developed by researchers at Harvard University could greatly expand the limits of modern biomedical imaging, allowing…
What is less known is how much water occupied the red planet and what happened to it during its geological march to the present. Mostly, evidence has pointed…
For example, in places where annual rainfall may increase by 20 percent as a result of climate change, the groundwater might increase as much as 40 percent.Conversely, the analysis showed in some cases just a 20 percent decrease in rainfall could lead to a 70 percent decrease in the recharging of local aquifers — a potentially devastating blow in semi-arid and arid regions. …
Global warming, some have argued, can be reversed with a large-scale “geoengineering” fix, such as having a giant blimp spray liquefied sulfur dioxide in the…
Nicholas Carpita, a professor of botany and plant pathology, said that small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) play a normal role in plant development by shutting off…
