Arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction and heart failure are a prime cause of disease and death worldwide. The genetic cause of disease and mechanisms of…
The New Siberian Islands were the birthplace of the MOSAiC floe: the sea ice in which the research vessel Polarstern is now drifting through the Arctic was…
Energy-efficient power electronics for energy conversion and transmission are becoming increasingly important, as future-oriented and sustainable energy…
“We took our inspiration from nature's perfectly ingenious system and used the leaf veins of deciduous leaves to construct electrodes with a high power density…
Susanne Vongries, manager of the BR Chorus, describes the initial situation: ‘After the initial shock of lockdown and once we’d reviewed the restrictive…
In a new meta-study, experts from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) have published ground-breaking findings on…
The Earth's crust is under constant stress. Every now and then this stress is discharged in heavy earthquakes, mostly caused by the slow movement of Earth's…
Cyanobacteria hardly need any nutrients and use the energy of sunlight. Bathers are familiar with these microorganisms – often incorrectly called “blue-green…
The team of researchers from the Centre for Metamaterial Research and Innovation at the University of Exeter used devices, known as thermophones, to create a…
Healing with the help of marine organisms is no utopia. Already 12 life-saving drugs, e.g. against cancer, have been developed from marine organisms and their…
Plants differ from animals in that they are capable of photosynthesis. They do this in specialized “mini-organs” (biologists speak of organelles), the…
Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity. During this process, the electrons of the material inside the cell absorb the energy of the light….
Electric motors and electronic devices generate electromagnetic fields that sometimes have to be shielded in order not to affect neighboring electronic…
Magnetic data storage is indispensable for storing securely the huge amount of data generated every day, for instance through social networks. Once stored, the…
Experts provide information about research progress and existing fields of application.
A promising operating mode for the plasma of a future power plant has been developed at the ASDEX Upgrade fusion device at Max Planck Institute for Plasma…
