Concern about contamination caused by microplastics is growing; owing to their abundance, ubiquity and persistence over time, microplastics pose a potential…
The single-cell organism, known as slime mold (Physarum polycephalum), builds complex filamentary networks in search of food, finding near-optimal pathways to…
Manufacturers typically guarantee that panels will endure the elements for at least 25 years before experiencing significant drop-offs in power generation, but…
Die Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler identifizierten einen bestimmten Antikörper, der an die Immunzellen des Gehirns bindet. Dadurch wird deren…
Squamous cell carcinoma is a very unusual type of cancer. They occur in many tissues – for example in the lungs, esophagus, pancreas, throat and pharynx, and…
Ultrathin carbon nanotubes crystals could have wonderous uses, like converting waste heat into electricity with near-perfect efficiency, and Rice University…
In a recent study published in Marine Ecology Progress Series, researchers at California Polytechnic State University revealed that in addition to seasonal…
Antibodies are vital for the survival of human beings. They typically consist of two longer and thus heavier amino acid chains and two lighter ones. In rare…
Natural environments are constantly changing. If the change is a familiar one—like the shift from day to night or fluctuation in food supply—organisms use gene…
Solute carriers (SLCs) represent the largest family of transmembrane transporters in the human genome, with over 400 members arranged into 65 families. They…
The LZH scientists successfully tested the laser drilling process and the system on so-called “cargo struts”. These are C-shaped struts stabilize the cargo…
Today, there is a great effort to scale down magnetic memory towards nanometer-sized bits in order to ultimately store information in a single magnetic atom….
Quantum technology has the potential to enable revolutionary technological applications. However, conventional computers lack the power to calculate the…
A groundbreaking study will enable scientists to better predict future warming of the world's lakes due to climate change, and the potential threat to…
Biochemist Dorothee Kern and her colleagues reconstructed extinct forms of two cell division proteins, and then watched in the lab as one boosted the activity…
