For decades, scientists have searched for effective ways to remove excess carbon dioxide emissions from the air, and recycle them into products such as…
Buruli ulcer – one of the most neglected among the NTDs – is a debilitating and stigmatising disease. Affecting mainly children in West and Central Africa, the…
The seeds of some plants such as basil, watercress or plantain form a mucous envelope as soon as they come into contact with water. This cover consists of…
An infection of the liver with viral hepatitis, such as the hepatitis B virus, can progress in very different ways: the liver inflammation (hepatitis) can heal…
Lack of control of the variables determining the response of a system is usually seen as a curse in science and technology. But what about a slight pinch of…
Advances in the technology of material growth allow fabricating sandwiches of materials with atomic precision. The interface between the two materials can…
Researchers from Boston College and Brookhaven National Laboratory have succeeded in modifying a cuprate high-temperature superconductor material into an…
“We estimate that this 'ring rain' drains an amount of water products that could fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool from Saturn's rings in half an hour,” said…
Scientists at Rice University have developed synthetic protein switches to control the flow of electrons.
Slow-motion collisions of tectonic plates under the ocean drag about three times more water down into the deep Earth than previously estimated, according to a…
Early seed plants depended on wind to carry pollen between plants, but about 100 million years ago, flowering plants evolved to attract insects that could…
The aim of this project is the systematic investigation of the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of disordered systems with local quantum degrees of…
A team of scientists from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University together with their colleagues from Russia, Japan, and Australia studied the influence of…
A team from the Research and Educational Center “Functional Nanomaterials” of Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (BFU) together with an international…
Producing active ingredients with very specific properties – antibacterial characteristics, for example – is not always so easy. The reason: many of these…
The properties of the matter, which surrounds us in our everyday life, are typically the result of complex interactions between electrons. These…
