Led by FBN, scientists from the EU, Canada and Australia are launching a large-scale research project to identify functions in the genome that are relevant to…
Almost everyone is familiar with light strips for interior design. LED strips are available by the metre in DIY stores around the corner and are just as often…
The immune system protects us from infections and tumors – a challenging task, not least because harming the body’s own healthy tissue must be avoided at the…
A new nanomaterial developed by scientists at the University of Bath could solve a conundrum faced by scientists probing some of the most promising types of…
For the first time, researchers have determined the shape and size of the areas that present significant thinning in each retinal layer, which tend to occur in…
Researchers experimentally determined a property of cadmium called the magic wavelength which is considered essential for the development of the most accurate…
Researchers from the University of Stuttgart, ETH Zurich and the Swiss Empa have presented a method with which wood panels themselves bend into a previously…
The nervous system of the threadworm C. elegans is simple at first sight: it consists of 302 neurons, some of which, however, have several functions. The…

The facts that climate change is man-made and that it will alter ecosystems are indisputable. However, there is debate about its extent and its consequences….
Later during this century, around 2060, a paradigm shift in global energy consumption is expected: we will spend more energy for cooling than for heating….
The Hall Effect, discovered in 1879 by Edwin Hall, occurs because of the interaction between charged particles and electromagnetic fields. In an electric…
The sea-ice extent in the Arctic is nearing its annual minimum at the end of the melt season in September. Only circa 3.9 million square kilometres of the…
Plants, algae and other photosynthetic organisms remove carbon dioxide from the air, incorporating it into starches in a process known as carbon fixation. In…
Topological insulators are a game-changing class of materials; charged particles can flow freely on their edges and route themselves around defects, but can't…
This time-lapse sequence of structures reveals dynamic motions as a fundamental element in the molecular foundations of biology.
