Automatic, remote data collection can make chemical processes more reliable, as well as less labor intensive and safer. This technology has begun to make…
Previous studies have shown that imprinted genes are more active in some tissues, and less active in others. The neuroscientists led by Hippenmeyer found that…
The ability of the human brain to process and store information is determined to a large extent by the connectivity between nerve cells. Chemical synapses are…
What factors influence the spread of invasive animal species in our oceans? This question was the focus for a team of experts from the Alfred Wegener…
More than 600,000 people worldwide have fallen victim to the lung disease COVID-19 so far, which is caused by the SARS coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). In order to…
People infected with SARS-CoV-2 produce neutralizing antibodies that prevent the virus from infecting cells by binding to the spike protein on the virus's…
A field studying something very small is becoming very big: In the last decade, the field of nanoparticle research has exploded.
Cancer is a leading cause of death and one of the most complex challenges to modern medicine. By employing cutting-edge technologies that precisely measure the…
Every multicellular creature in the world is populated by an unimaginably large number of microorganisms and has evolved together with them over the course of…
Human alpha-synuclein (hαSyn) is a physiological protein that is primarily found in nerve cells, and is involved in the development of various…
What happens inside a battery at the microscopic level during charging and discharging processes? A team of scientists led by Prof. Dr. Gunther Wittstock of…
Since bulk neodymium nickel oxide (NdNiO2), which exhibits an analogous crystal structure and valence electron number as the cuprates, does not show…
Physicists at the University of Bath who study materials on the nanoscale – that is, molecules 10,000 smaller than a pinhead – made their groundbreaking…
Aspergillus latus, a species of fungus previously found only in soil or plants, has been found for the first time in a hospital environment by an international…
In all living organisms, gene expression is a two-stage process: First, the genetic information stored in the DNA is used as template to synthesize ribonucleic…
In a study published in the journal Nature Immunology, they describe a previously undiscovered domain of the T-cell receptor and demonstrate that this…
