When bacteria or the pathogens that cause malaria invade living human cells, these cells can be very unwelcoming. They try to drive away the by releasing…
An innovative measurement method is helping to detect people infected with coronavirus from a safe distance. It detects fever, increased pulse rates and fast…
Intestinal stem cell metabolism is facilitated by mitochondria – the in-cell power plants. Chronic inflammation processes inhibit the cells’ metabolism and…
Artificial intelligence is a very powerful tool for solving complex problems and handling huge amounts of random data. Its use allows to translate languages…
Materials scientists at Duke University have shown the first clear example that a material's transition into a magnet can control instabilities in its…
Even though we often assume that our online enthusiasm alienates us from nature, the huge and ever-increasing amount of data on the Internet conceals a lot of…
Researchers developed and demonstrated for the first time a silicon-based electro-optical modulator that is smaller, as fast as and more efficient than…
Cells in some of the body's most vulnerable entry routes to bacterial infection buffer themselves when the immune system detects danger by reorganizing the…
Described in Nature Communications, the algorithm called “minimum epistasis interpolation” results in a visualization of how a protein could evolve to either…
Dr. Yoon Hana at Energy Conversion & Storage Materials Laboratory of Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER, President Kim Jong-nam), Professor Kim Young-Jin…
In order to develop a new lubricant or to improve upon an existing one, it is important to precisely understand its behavior: pressure, temperature, shear rate…
Terahertz rays are electromagnetic waves, just like radio waves or light. What differentiates them is the frequency with which they oscillate: one hundred…
Conventional reconstruction from multiple two-dimensional tissue slices is a laborious process, is invasive, and does not give a clear understanding of the 3D…
Leading research groups in the field of nanophotonics are working toward developing optical transistors – key components for future optical computers. These…
The study led by Professor Michael Schrader from the University of Exeter, and featuring an international, multi-disciplinary team of scientists, has explored…
A hybrid material, developed in Dresden, fulfils both these requirements. Himani Arora, a physics PhD student at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR),…
