Partitioning space into cells with optimum geometrical properties is a central challenge in many fields of science and technology. Researchers of Karlsruhe…
The laser is based on a fundamental principle in physics, the (L)ight (A)mplification by (S)timulated (E)mission of (R)adiation. This concept theoretically…
Distributing iron particles produced by bacteria could “fertilize” microscopic ocean plants and ultimately lower atmospheric carbon levels, according to a new…
The discovery, made in the laboratory using cells from people with HIV, is yet to be tested in clinical trials, but could lead to the development of a vaccine…
MAX phases are viewed as promising materials for the future, for example for turbines in power plants and aircraft, space applications, or medical implants. A…
The researchers presented participants with a number of different scene images. Importantly, they paired each scene image with one of two different objects,…
When organs or tissues are damaged, new blood vessels must form as they play a vital role in bringing nutrients and eliminating waste. This is the only way for…
Influencing current climate and weather events in Northwest Africa and Europe, this wide-ranging phenomenon in the North Atlantic describes fluctuations in the…
The currents in the North Sea are generally influenced by westerly winds and tidal forces from the Atlantic; the tides flow into the shallow sea from the west…
Plants, fungi, animals and even humans have it: the protein ubiquitin. It comprises a sequence of 76 amino acids, making it a relatively small biomolecule. But…
In the course of their first annual meeting, the ICNAP partners ranked three subject areas as being in particularly urgent need of attention and selected them…
In addition, the EGU meeting will feature a session on science, politics and European (dis)integration with Mario Monti and Ilaria Capua, which will also be…
The health of its employees is fundamental to the performance of a company. New developments, in particular regarding digitalisation at the workplace, are…
Research led by Professor Ton Peijs of WMG at the University of Warwick and Professor Cees Bastiaansen at Queen Mary University of London, has devised a…
Human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, attacks the immune system, making affected individuals more susceptible to infections. When patients with HIV are treated…
“We eventually hope that these sensors and engineering accomplishments can help advance healthcare applications and provide a better quantitative understanding…
