Efforts to develop heterogeneous catalysts that appeal to the fine chemical industry have been limited by underwhelming results. Although some approaches have…
Thermal treatment of coated glass, plastics and wafers is a common process for improving the layer and surface properties of large-area substrates. In…
In our retina, three kinds of receptors are responsible for the perception of basic colours: red, green and blue. The same holds true for many primate species…
Mobile communication, video streaming and satellite navigation would be inconceivable without light. It is light that enables the highest data transmission…
On 26 November 2018, the NASA InSight lander successfully set down on Mars in the Elysium Planitia region. Seventy Martian days later, the mission's…
Purdue University researchers developed their device to decrease energy consumption of the vapor-compression heat pump cycle, which is commonly used in homes,…
The material is an unusual form of iron oxide with the formula Fe₅O₆. The researchers produced it at a pressure of 15 gigapascals in a high-pressure laboratory…
Almost seventy years ago, scientists showed that electrons in materials could sustain wavelike propagating oscillations, known as plasmons. Nowadays, there is…
Among the most exciting challenges in modern physics is the identification of the neutrino mass ordering. Physicists from the Cluster of Excellence PRISMA+ at…
Cancer Cachexia often occurs in cancer patients in an advanced state. This metabolic wasting syndrome leads to severely reduced muscle mass and fat tissue,…
One of the most remarkable characteristics of the vertebrate eye is its retina. Surprisingly, the sensitive portions of the photoreceptor cells are found on…
The basis for this vision is being laid at the Institute of Biochemistry at Graz University of Technology, where Gustav Oberdorfer and his team are designing…
A study by the Robert Koch Institute has found that one in four women will suffer from weak bladders at some point in their lives. Treatments of this condition…
To ensure that our online experience is closely tailored to our interests and preferences, algorithms collect our personal data and analyze our online…
In the course of the past 40 years, the major wind-driven current systems in the ocean have steadily shifted toward the poles. Experts at the Alfred Wegener…
Cities are veritable CO2 spinners, but how much emission is actually emitted can hardly be reliably determined at present. Current estimates are based on…
