Quantum physics describes photons as light particles. Achieving an interaction between a single photon and a single atom is a huge challenge due to the tiny…
For intermittent claudication, drug-coated balloon angioplasty is the therapy of choice to reduce the risk of target lesion restenosis, and consequently, the…
The expansion of electro-mobility requires electric cars to have longer ranges. Lightweight materials with optimized material properties can help put this into…
The researchers are proposing both accelerated procedures in processing and in the characterisation of fire behaviour. The numerous investigations within the…
Countries across the globe are making efforts to improve the safety of the nuclear waste storage in order to prevent release of radioactive nuclides to the…
A single dose of a highly diluted VSV-Ebola virus (EBOV) vaccine–approximately one-millionth of what is in the vaccine being used to help control the ongoing…
The unintentional leakage of natural gas from oil and gas wells into the surrounding subsurface – known as fugitive gas migration – is a major environmental…
A study in experimental models suggests that allopregnanolone, one of many hormones produced by the placenta during pregnancy, is so essential to normal fetal…
„It was already known that cancer patients that have many of these immune cells migrated into their tumour tissue have reduced survival rates”, says Sven…
Stem cells react to tissue damage with an increase in their proliferation rate, leading to the production of new differentiated cells. Balance between cell…
In order to make transistors that operate using the spin of electrons, rather than their charge, it is necessary to find a way of switching spin currents on…
Results published in Nature Communications report the first example of a lipid-based “memcapacitor,” a charge storage component with memory that processes…
Gene therapy has broadened the treatment possibilities for those with immune system deficiencies and blood-based conditions, such as sickle cell anemia and…
A molecule that protects plants from overexposure to harmful sunlight thanks to its flamenco-style twist could form the basis for a new longer-lasting…
Plants and bacteria lead the way: They can capture the energy of sunlight with light-harvesting antennas and transfer it to a reaction centre. Transporting…
The Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering IBMT presents an MR-compatible ultrasound system for the therapeutic application of ultrasound (tumor…
