With PAD, dense ceramic films can be applied to very different types of materials, such as steel, glass, silicon, or even plastic. To achieve this, a dry…
The electrons in chemical molecules are reluctant to lead a single life; they usually occur in pairs. Then they are particularly stable and do not tend to…
Synthetic chains of molecules containing different sugars can inhibit viruses effectively. The extent to which such molecules could be used as antiviral drugs…
Black poplar leaves infected by fungi are especially susceptible to attack by gypsy moth caterpillars. A research team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical…
Earth observation satellites for very low altitudes, smaller, lighter, and cheaper than conventional models: These are the goals of the EU project…
To this end, the mine rescue team of TU Bergakademie Freiberg and the Institute for Machine Elements, Design and Production have combined their expertise.
While such low levels are rare, they are not unprecedented. Similar low ozone levels occurred in the upper atmosphere, or stratosphere, in 1997 and 2011. In…
Since the 2004 discovery of graphene, the world's thinnest (one-atom-thick) and strongest (200 times stronger than steel) material, researchers have been…
A Korean research team has succeeded in developing next-generation high-capacity cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. The Korea Institute of Science and…
Gene therapies have shown the promise to become the next medical revolution for combating a wide variety of currently untreatable diseases. The most common…
The land sparing debate, which was sparked around 2005 by conservation biologists, recognized that there is usually a limit to the extent to which farmland can…
Arctic soils are one of the largest carbon stores on earth. At the same time, climate warming is twice as fast in Arctic tundra as in the rest of the world.
Lipids, or fats, have many functions in our body: They form membrane barriers, store energy or act as messengers, which regulate cell growth and hormone…
Stuffy noses, itching and fits of sneezing – 130 million people in Europe suffer from hay fever and other forms of allergic rhinitis. Until now, these…
These observations may explain this mysterious antimatter disappearance. They come from the T2K experiment conducted in Japan and in which three French…
The human brain is an immense network of a multitude of cells connected by billions of nerve fibres. Almost 90 percent of the connections in our brain are…
