Included among PPPL staffers were members of the Science Education Department who presented their work focused on workforce development and diversity, and…
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a major cause of life-threatening invasive diseases such as pneumonia, septicaemia and meningitis, and is…
Cultivating human cells in the Petri dish is not a big challenge today. Producing artificial tissue, however, permeated by fine blood vessels, is a much more…
During early postnatal development, primary sensory regions of the brain undergo periods of heightened plasticity (critical period), which sculpt neural…
Nanoparticles are tiny structures, typically less than 100 nanometers in size, which is about 500 to 1000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair.
A major factor holding back development of wearable biosensors for health monitoring is the lack of a lightweight, long-lasting power supply.
The trick comes in controlling the droplets, which form under competing influences like gravity and surface tension. A new study, published Oct. 26 in the…
The scientists used the magnetism of single atoms, known as spin, as a basic building block for quantum information processing. The researchers could show that…
TU Berlin is to act as host university of the new “Bioactive Peptides – Innovative Aspects of Synthesis and Biosynthesis” Research Training Group (RTG2473/1).
Exploring the mystery of the molecular handedness in nature, scientists have proposed a new experimental scheme to create custom-made mirror molecules for…
Purdue University researchers have developed a new flexible and translucent base for silicon nanoneedle patches to deliver exact doses of biomolecules directly…
Bacteria are present in just about every breath of air we take in. How the airway protects itself from infection from these bacteria has largely remained a…
The scientists recently published their results in the journal Advanced Materials.
The observatory on Mauna Kea in Hawaii is world-famous. Less well-known is the fact that the Hawaiian Islands are home to one of the leading institutes for…
A reflection always reproduces objects as a complete mirror image, rather than just its individual parts or individual parts in a completely different…
The process could speed the commercial development of devices, materials and technologies that exploit the physical properties of nanoparticles, which are…
