Even if the technology has as yet only been tested in prototypes on test routes, autonomous driving will apparently be possible in the near future. How exactly…
In earlier studies, the research team of the Department of Experimental Diabetology at the German Institute of Human Nutrition (DIfE) had already discovered…
Around 400 million years ago, mosses formed on Earth. Unlike other plants, they do not have roots. “They filter their nutrients out of the air,” says botanist…
Each year, around 16,000 people in Switzerland and 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. Two thirds of those affected die or remain in permanent need of…

With a simple twist of the fingers, one can create a beautiful spiral from a deck of cards. In the same way, scientists at the University of California,…
The investment casting process is used when filigree structures or particularly high-quality surfaces are required for the cast component being produced. The…
The rings of Uranus are invisible to all but the largest telescopes — they weren't even discovered until 1977 — but they're surprisingly bright in new heat…
For the first time, an international research team led by the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) has investigated atmospheric ice nucleating…
