What can't graphene do? You can scratch “detect cancer” off of that list.
“A disproportionately large number of species living in lakes, rivers and wetlands are at risk of extinction, and are in particular need of protection,”…
The intestine is an important organ with a huge surface area about the size of up to one tennis court. Keeping the balance in the intestine between “inside”…
Dendritic cells – their name is derived from the large amount of dendrites on their cell surface – populate most parts of the human body. There they act as…
In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the patients' lungs lose their ability to repair damages on their own. Scientists at the Helmholtz Zentrum…
Now, researchers at Princeton University have revealed a mechanism that enhances the light harvesting rates of the cryptophyte algae Chroomonas mesostigmatica….
However, as for most other macromolecular structural techniques, radiation damage is still a major factor hindering the success of experiments. The high…
Scientists have enlisted the exotic properties of graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of carbon, to function like the film of an incredibly sensitive camera…
Without a doubt, the seahorse belongs to Darwin's “endless forms most beautiful”. Its body form is one of a kind. It has neither a tail nor pelvic fin, it…
Over decades, cancer research pursued the dogma that cancer cells seed mainly from advanced tumors – based on the finding that early diagnosis and surgical…
Synthetic organic chemistry consists of transforming existing molecules into new molecular structures or assemblies. These new molecular systems are then used…
Under stressful life conditions many proteins lose their functionality. A natural mechanism that can be found in all cells leads to the preferred synthesis of…
We all know that water melts at 0°C. However, already 150 years ago the famous physicist Michael Faraday discovered that at the surface of frozen ice, well…
This study lies at the very heart of understanding and being able to control properties of molecular structures. Pharma and agrichem industries attach great…
Scientists at the University of Bonn have succeeded in observing an important cell protein at work. To do this, they used a method that allows to measure…
About 90 percent of precipitation over land depends on the formation of ice crystals in clouds, which fall down due to their increasing weight. But water in…
