Plants use their roots to search for water. While the main root digs downwards, a large number of fine lateral roots explore the soil on all sides. As…
Pectoral sandpipers (Calidris melanotos) migrate long distances, also during the breeding season. After a journey from the wintering grounds in the Southern…
Information from sensory organs, such as the eyes or the ears, is passed from nerve cell to nerve cell in the form of electrical impulses. These impulses can…
Reaching room-temperature superconductivity is one of the biggest dreams in physics. Its discovery would bring a technological revolution by providing…
The concept is based on the interaction of resonant semiconductor iron oxide Fe2O3 nanoparticles with light. Particles previously loaded with the antitumor…
Rutgers biomedical engineers have developed a “bio-ink” for 3D printed materials that could serve as scaffolds for growing human tissues to repair or replace…
Using direct imaging with ground-based telescopes in Hawaii – W. M. Keck Observatory and Subaru Telescope on Maunakea – the team studied the orbits of these…
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT), studied by physicists at Michigan Technological University, encase tellurium atomic chains like a straw, which could be…
What distinguishes terahertz quantum cascade lasers from other lasers is the fact that they emit light in the terahertz range of the electromagnetic spectrum….
These highly reactive chemicals, also called reactive oxygen species, or ROS, are a byproduct of our body's use of oxygen that our immune system uses to kill…
The hand is a precious limb. Its 34 muscles and 20 joints enable movements of great precision and complexity which are essential for interacting with the…
Microtechnology is essential for high-precision optical products
With its stocky, spotted body, big eyes and large mouth, the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) may not be the most attractive of aquatic creatures, but it is…
Mass spectrometry permits the simultaneous and quantitative determination of minute quantities of thousands of biomolecules from tissues or body fluids. Such…
The demand for batteries for electric cars will increase dramatically in the next few years. At present, more than 90 percent of these batteries come from Asia.
“Our second demonstrator, which is completely new in many respects, is to be on display at HM 2020,” said Prof. Martin Ruskowski, Chairman of the Executive…
