The “Haus der Technik” (hdt) is once again prepared to organize and process a vast amount of both oral papers and posters for its forthcoming conference…
The size of the human brain increased profoundly during evolution. A certain gene that is only found in humans triggers brain stem cells to form a larger pool…
Cows can adapt themselves to a fluctuating sodium content in their feed. How they do that was so far a secret. Researchers from Goethe University have now…
Gastroscopies remain risky procedures that need to be conducted by highly qualified and sought-after specialists after years of training. The natural gag…
The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a vertebrate animal model excellent for in vivo imaging of biological events. However, to knockin two loxP sites in the…
The human brain is organized into circuits that develop from childhood through adulthood to support executive function–critical behaviors like self-control,…
The remarkable tetrahedral structure has now been imaged for the first time with a scanning tunnelling microscope. This high-tech microscope can visualise…
Increasing abundance of plastic waste has alarmed the society, but the environmental fate of microplastics has been difficult to trace. A research group led by…
The unusual high quality and depth of coverage of the sequence allowed the researchers to assemble the vast majority of the genome into 14 chromosomes and…
Graphite is a material widely used in various industries — for example in heat shields for spacecraft — so accurate data on its behavior at ultrahigh…
Clostridium Difficile (C. diff) is a virulent health care-associated infection responsible for nearly 13,000 deaths and over $5 billion in health care related…
The international team, led by researchers at Oxford University Museum of Natural History, described a new mechanism for vision in the red brittle star Ophiocoma wendtii…
On a hillside above Stanford University, the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory operates a scientific instrument nearly 2 miles long. In this giant…
The galaxy (named AGC 203001), is located about 260 million light-years away from us. There is only one other such known system with such a large neutral…
Furthermore, this membrane was shown to be versatile; it was able to separate water from a wide variety of different oily substances.
Tiny bits of DNA collected from waters off the West Coast allowed scientists to identify more species of marine vertebrates than traditional surveys with trawl…
