The inflammatory molecule interleukin-17A (IL-17A) triggers immune cells that in turn reduce IL-17A's pro-inflammatory activity, according to a study by…
Even by the standards of quantum physicists, strange metals are just plain odd. The materials are related to high-temperature superconductors and have…
Some of the most promising advances in cancer treatment have centered on immunotherapies that rev up a patient's immune system to attack cancer. But…
Deleting a key gene in mice in just their fat made tissues throughout these animals insulin resistant, in addition to other effects, a new study by UT…
In the HyBaG project, which started in 2017, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in collaboration with Kaco New Energy and STS -…
Interactions between two or more organisms, in which all partners involved gain an advantage, are ubiquitous in nature and have played a key role in the…
In 2014, Fraunhofer ILT hosted the first “Conference on Laser Polishing – LaP” to exchange research results in an international setting. Since then, the…
A methane seep is a location where methane gas escapes from an underground reservoir and into the ocean. Methane seeps have been found throughout the world's…
An international team led by researchers at Princeton University has uncovered a new class of magnet that exhibits novel quantum effects that extend to room…
The cochlear implant (CI) enables worldwide over 700,000 people with profoundly reduced hearing and deaf people to hear again. So far, the auditory nerve has…
The ability of the human brain to process and store information is determined to a large extent by the connectivity between nerve cells. Chemical synapses are…
The future has already arrived. (Partially) autonomous cars are already on our roads today with automated systems such as braking or lane departure warning…
The basis for the laser-based approach is a very accurate detection of weeds using a camera and an object recognition software. A laser is then supposed to…
Previous studies have shown that imprinted genes are more active in some tissues, and less active in others. The neuroscientists led by Hippenmeyer found that…
Nanostructures made of high-index dielectric materials with judiciously designed resonant elements and lattice arrangements show special promise for…
The camera-like imaging device can be inserted into blood vessels to provide high quality 3D images to help scientists better understand the causes of heart…
