Lighter and faster aircraft and vehicles require lighter materials. One of the most promising materials is aluminum, or rather, aluminum-based composites.
Astronomers believe planets like Jupiter shield us from space objects that would otherwise slam into Earth. Now they're closer to learning whether giant…
Owners of thoroughbred stallions carefully breed prizewinning horses over generations to eke out fractions of a second in million-dollar races. Materials…
Landing multi-rotor drones smoothly is difficult. Complex turbulence is created by the airflow from each rotor bouncing off the ground as the ground grows ever…
Are viruses dead or alive? Well… both. Viruses can only reproduce inside living cells and exploit the cellular machinery of their host to their benefit….
Proton therapy involves firing a beam of accelerated protons at cancerous tumours, killing them through irradiation. But the equipment needed is so large and…
On a sunny summer day what do we do with solar power if it cannot be used directly? Which storage solutions can (and should) be used? When does a conversion…
In Vienna there are some 200 push-button pedestrian lights (signalised pedestrian crossings). They allow pedestrians to cross the road safely. But only after a…
Hunting scenes, ritual dances, and mysterious human-like figures with their hands reaching up into the sky: The rock drawings (also known as petroglyphs) in…
In the new study, the researchers investigated joint attention skills in 10-month-old infants. Joint attention means that one attends to the same objects and…
The most complete assessment ever of statistical uncertainty within the GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP) data product shows that the annual values…
In the study, the researchers combined their expertise in foundational science and engineering to devise a method that uniformly incorporates eutectic gallium…
The procedure improves patients' quality of life by allowing them to breathe easier, be less short of breath and be more active and energetic. The treatment,…
Wind has shaped the face of Mars for millennia, but its exact role in piling up sand dunes, carving out rocky escarpments or filling impact craters has eluded…
Alcohols are common chemical compounds which, in addition to carbon and hydrogen, contain at least one OH group. They serve as starting materials for a whole…
Bacteria have fascinating properties. They adapt excellently to their respective environment, and they existed long before humans. Their toughness has led to…
