The development could lead to intelligent camera systems that figure out what they are seeing simply by the patterns of light that run through a 3D engineered…
The researchers will present their findings today at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2019 National Meeting & Exposition. ACS, the world's largest…
A little bit of norovirus – the highly infectious microbe that causes about 20 million cases of food poisoning in the United States each year – goes a long…
The development of a retina-on-a-chip, which combines living human cells with an artificial tissue-like system, has been described today in the open-access…
The hydrocarbons polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) account for a good half of all polymers produced worldwide. PE can be found in many plastic products…
Carbon nanoparticles are a promising tool for biomedical applications, for example for targeted transportation of biologically active compounds into cells. A…
For some time now, light signals have been used to alter the transcription of genetic information – and consequently protein synthesis directed by RNA…
When water is scarce, plants can close their pores to prevent losing too much water. This allows them to survive even longer periods of drought, but with the…
Osteoporosis is a widespread disease. Every third woman and every fifth man are affected by bone loss with advancing age. A frequent consequence of this is…
They are tiny signalling molecules that play important roles in many processes in living organisms. However, the exact function of these substances is often…
Epileptic seizures can happen to anyone. But how do they occur and what initiates such a rapid response? An international team of scientists led by Prof. Dr….
A sophisticated chip the size of a coin in which cartilage can be cultivated and which can later be subjected to mechanical stress such that it generates the…

“We were surprised by the high rate of maturation achieved as we do not get such high rate (comparable to what we get with horse oocytes) with southern white…
Water electrolysis could provide high-quality hydrogen gas that can be used in fuel cells directly. However, since noble metals, such as platinum and iridium,…
Due to modern advances in medicine ever smaller objects are moved through the human body: nanotherapeutics, micro-implants, mini-catheters and tiny medical…
