To pack the genetic information, inscribed in roughly two metres of DNA, into its nucleus, a human cell must achieve the equivalent of fitting an…
When pathogens infect an organism, the defense system immediately starts to fight the bacteria. To escape the patrolling immune cells, some bacteria invade and…
“Every pacemaker has to be replaced at some point. When this time comes, typically after about five years when the device's battery expires, the patient has to…
Can we use our smartphones without any other peripherals or wearables to accurately extract vital parameters, such as heart beat rate and stress level?
Gamma Ray Burst – what is that?
A tide of public momentum is swelling against the crisis of petroleum-based plastics, which are sitting in our landfills, floating in our oceans, and showing…
Antibiotic-resistant pathogens pose one of the greatest threats to public health worldwide. In the near future, harmless bacterial infections may no longer be…
Vertebrate, insect, and plant cell lines are important tools for research in many disciplines, including human health, evolutionary and developmental biology,…
On 20 July 2018, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor and a few seconds later the Swift Burst Alert Telescope notified the world of a gamma-ray burst, GRB…
Massive Galaxies like the Milky Way typically consist of hundreds of billions of stars and host a black hole with a mass of several million up to several 100…
The research result has been published in the journal Optics Letters recently.
In its simplest form, microscopy creates an image of an object by measuring the intensity of light passing through it. This requires a sample that scatters and…
This new advance, published in Soft Robotics, could create new thin and light robots for environmental monitoring and deployment in hazardous environments,…
Engineers at Duke University have developed a microscope that adapts its lighting angles, colors and patterns while teaching itself the optimal…
Scientists have developed a new approach for making metal-metal composites and porous metals with a 3-D interconnected “bicontinuous” structure in thin films…
Researchers from the University of Houston have reported a new device that can both efficiently capture solar energy and store it until it is needed, offering…
