Evolution is usually viewed as a slow process, with changes in traits emerging over thousands of generations only. Over the recent years, however, research has…
A new method provides a 3-dimensional image using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). This novel approach allows for much faster measurements.
The development of bimetallic nanoparticles (i.e., tiny particles composed of two different metals that exhibit several new and improved properties) represents…
A Korean research team has developed a high-performance ceramic fuel cell that can operate on butane fuels. Since butane can be liquified and thus can be…
A scientific team from the Research Department “Viral Zoonoses – One Health” of the Heinrich Pette Institute, Leibniz Institute for Experimental Virology (HPI)…
In order to find out which existing drugs might be suitable for the treatment of Covid-19, numerous research groups from all over the world are working on…
To which extent body fat has an unhealthy effect depends primarily on where it is stored. If fat accumulates in the abdomen, this is particularly unfavorable.
Until now, scientists had assumed that there are about 80 so-called open reading frames (ORFs) in the genome of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). These are the…
Data transmission that works by means of magnetic waves instead of electric currents – for many scientists, this is the basis of future technologies that will…
All living cells contain proteins, which are essential for the maintenance of body functions. Proteins consist primarily of amino acids and, as catalysts…
Climate change and warming seas are transforming tropical coral reefs and undoing decades of knowledge about how to protect these delicate and vital ecosystems.
South Korea with its high antibiotic use is categorized as a country at high risk of the emergence of *multi drug-resistant bacteria, or so-called “super…
Because of their high frequency, terahertz waves can carry hundreds of times more data than the microwaves used to carry our data today. But that high…
The larvae of the roundworm Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri (Hpb) need a very special environment in order to survive: They have to invade the mucosal layer…
When a figure skater starts to perform a pirouette and raises her arms, she turns around her own axis increasingly faster due to the conservation of angular…
Despite these overall averages, local trends are highly variable. These are the results from the largest study of insect change to date, now published in the…
