The insertion of hip implants places high demands on surgeons. To help young doctors practice this operation under realistic conditions, scientists from the…
Hydrogen is thought to be the solution to the storage problem of renewable energies. It can be produced in local electrolysers, stored temporarily and then very efficiently converted back into electricity in a fuel cell. It also serves as an important raw material in the chemical industry. However, the green production of hydrogen is still hampered by the poor conversion of the supplied electricity. “One reason is that the dynamic load of the fluctuating electricity from the sun and wind…
The performance of materials is strongly influenced by their alloying elements: Adding elements beyond the basic composition of the alloy can strongly…
The intoxicating effect of alcohol is well researched. A team of researchers led by Prof. Dr. Mario Zaiss from the Chair of Internal Medicine 3 at FAU studied…
Self-assembly is an autonomous process where complex and functional structures are created in a bottom-up manner by the organization of a large set of…
The immune system is the body’s natural defense system and is made up of a network of cells, molecules, tissues, and organs working together to protect the…
Whilst the whole world is in lockdown during the current Corona crisis, certain cells within our bodies are still travelling long-distance: while this happens…
In a process known as photosynthesis, plants use the energy of sunlight to produce sugar out of water and carbon dioxide in their leaves. The sugar is…
The new study by researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.
Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have developed a powerful new computer program called Morpheus that can analyze astronomical image data pixel by pixel to identify…
