A University of Utah study suggests that memories are held in our brains because certain proteins serve as anchors, holding other proteins in place to…
A study published today in the open access journal BMC Biology reveals that the shape and colour patterns on the shell of the mollusc mirror the localised…
An X-ray lens focuses the SLS light beam to 30 nanometres. This allows the measuring of chemical maps on the nanometre scale. Such analyses serve materials…
The €590,000 ChEuBio (China EU Bioenergy project), funded by the European Commission, is a two-year initiative that will evaluate commercial possibilities of…
New research has found that a new medication, tegaserod, is effective in treating nearly all symptoms associated with chronic constipation (CC), a common…
But this is now refuted by new findings by Uppsala University researchers who show that the protein is absolutely crucial to our respiration. The study is…
Five years after the publication of the initial sequence of the human genome, it has been uncovered that this sequence is not identical among different…
In a unique media tie-up, Germany's leading Internet service provider, T-Online, and ESA will conduct a live space video chat via the Internet on 28 November…
The group—which accepted the official BioBrick trophy–targeted a way to use engineered cells to intercept the body’s excessive response to infection, which…
The document was signed by Giuseppe Viriglio, ESA’s Director of Telecommunications and Navigation Programmes, Maurici Lucena, Director General of CDTI, and…
By using high-energy X-rays at the ESRF, an international team defined the size and characteristics of this gap. The knowledge of the structure of a…
To provide an overview of the current state of the epidemic and the challenges ahead, GreenFacts faithfully summarised the UNAIDS “2006 Report on the Global…
Inaugurated in 2004 under contract from ESA, the Columbus Control Centre, located at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) facility in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany,…
Long established as a powerful tool for determining the structure of small molecules, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is now unravelling the…
This research offers new insights into the behaviour of so-called dopant atoms in silicon. The researchers are able to measure and manipulate a single dopant…
