Since the beginning of July and new x-ray testing system at Landshut University of Applied Sciences has been providing the perfect perspective.
The brains of Alzheimer's patients who have already developed clinical symptoms contain large clumps of the protein beta-amyloid, known as plaques. Many…
Based on insights from studying basic mechanisms of gene regulation and human hereditary diseases, it was previously assumed that the three-dimensional…
“A major hindrance to unlocking the vast potential of nanotubes is their multiphase manufacturing process which is extremely difficult to manage. We have suggested using artificial neural networks (ANN) to analyze experimental data and predict the efficiency of single-walled carbon nanotubes synthesis,” explains one of the authors of the study and Skoltech researcher, Dmitry Krasnikov. In their work published in the prestigious Carbon journal, the authors show that machine learning methods, and, in particular, ANN trained on experimental parameters, such…
When exactly does the brain “remember” a newly learned motor sequence? Previously, it was assumed that the stabilization of learned motor processes does not…
A new addition to your wardrobe may soon help you turn on the lights and music – while also keeping you fresh, dry, fashionable, clean and safe from the latest…
Soon robots will not only be found in factories and laboratories, but will be assisting us in our immediate environment. They will help us in the household, to…
The splitting of two water molecules into oxygen using sunlight is the first step of photosynthesis, a process performed by plants and cyanobacteria. The…
It is commonly accepted that neurons of the central nervous system shut down their ability to grow when they no longer need it; this occurs normally after they…
The major criterion for excitatory synapse selection is based on how well they engage in response to experience-driven neural activity, but how such selection…
The researchers measured the thickness of the gold to be 0.47 nanometres – that is one million times thinner than a human finger nail. The material is regarded…
Previous efforts focusing on the nanofluidic energy conversion system mainly deal with the isothermal conditions. Conventional viewpoint suggests that…
While the presence of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain may be a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, giving patients an amyloid PET scan is not an effective…
Gary's successful touchdown on the Teflon – and on other perches of varying materials – is teaching researchers how they might create machines that land like a…
Our waters are polluted with microplastics. Whether it’s fibres from fleece pullovers, plastic pellets from toothpaste or disintegrating plastic bags and…
The researchers from ETH Zurich (Switzerland), the MPSD (Germany), the Center for Computational Sciences of University of Tsukuba (Japan) and the Center for…
