Graphene and graphene oxide (a more stable version of the material in colloidal solutions) are carbon nanostructures that are extremely promising for…
With SAMMI®, Fraunhofer FHR offers a complementary application for the quality control of food, piece goods, and bulk goods. The use of high frequency…
Transport proteins are located in the membrane of the cell and are responsible for absorbing nutrients into the cell and expelling toxic substances out of it….
A group of researchers from the Higher Technical School of Engineering at the University of Seville have obtained filaments and fibres from highly viscous…
The study of a tiny grain of stardust — older than our solar system — is shining new light on how planetary systems are formed.
Many theorists believe a Mars-sized object slammed into the early Earth, and material dislodged from that collision formed the basis of the moon.
“There is exceptional diversity in coloration of bumble bees,” said Heather Hines, assistant professor of biology and of entomology at Penn State and principal…
It seems that sharks glide through the water at high speed without much effort. Microscopically small grooves on their skin help them to achieve this…
A large portion of the carbon dioxide emitted when humans burn fossil fuels, for instance, is taken up and stored in the ocean via a set of processes that make…
Ion traps can localize and restrain individual charged particles in a confined space for subsequent manipulations with these particles, such as displacing or…
In a recently published study, scientists led by Prof. Tobias Moser, Director of the Institute for Auditory Neuroscience at the University Medical Center…
In the case of injuries of the so-called peripheral nervous system, which are often caused by accidents, the prognosis of healing depends very much on whether…
The Helmholtz Excellence Network “Munich Center for Plasma Astrophysics” headed by Professor Frank Jenko from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP)…
In 1956, the Würzburg botanist Otto Ludwig Lange observed an unusual phenomenon in the Mauritanian desert in West Africa: he found plants whose leaves could…
One of the core technologies for reducing complexity in business processes are knowledge graphs. “Those who stay on their islands will fall back. This is…
Excited quantum states occur when light is absorbed by a particle and the energy from that light is temporarily stored within the particle, making its energy…
