Materials with a higher lithium ion storage capacity are either too heavy or the wrong shape to replace graphite, the electrode material currently used in…
The climatic phenomenon ‘El Niño/Southern Oscillation’ leads repeatedly in the Mesoamerican and Caribbean regions to natural catastrophes – extreme droughts…
All complex organisms are made up of cells that are in contact with each other or with structures in intercellular spaces. Cells have contact points on their…
Electrical signals measurements such as the ECG (electrocardiogram) can show how the human brain or heart works. Next to electrical signals magnetic signals…
This graphics card normally helps computer gamers to have a great gaming experience. The researchers, however, use it to observe the smallest cell components…
Flexible thin-film solar cell can be applied in various fields such as wearable, building, and automobiles based on the flexible substrate technology.
The technique involves dissolving organic molecules in water to simulate the state molecules are found in biological tissue. This allows the research team to…
The 21st century will be the age of optics: Optical fibre networks are the backbone of modern mobile communication technology. High-resolution camera systems…
Cells consist of a multitude of molecular structures, some of them exhibiting a staggering complexity. Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, belong to…
A protective protein that can detect newly-made incomplete and hence potentially toxic protein chains in higher cells is found to have a relative in bacteria….
Beekeepers have been losing an average of 30 percent of overwintered colonies for nearly 15 years. It is expensive to overwinter colonies in areas where winter…
Researchers have identified a potential new drug target in the fight against cancer.
Galaxies come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and brightnesses, ranging from humdrum ordinary galaxies to luminous active galaxies. While an ordinary galaxy…
To process information, photons must interact. However, these tiny packets of light want nothing to do with each other, each passing by without altering the…
Modern medical imaging devices allow ophthalmologists to monitor chronic eye conditions in detail. Ophthalmologists mostly choose Optical Coherence Tomography…
“Our approach equips surgeons with a roadmap for the surgical removal of tumours, giving patients a much better chance of survival, reducing the likelihood of…
