Meso- and nanotubes with different layers have been used for some time for the production of hollow fibres and non-wovens. These non-wovens and the hollow…

BSE belongs to the sphere of types of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), which can develop in humans due to misfolded protein bodies, so-called…

At Saarland University Professor Nachtigall developed a new adhesion mechanism based on a bionic approach. The water beetle possesses a lot of tiny adhesion…

The invention concerns a new kind of mounting parts ( called “short laminations” in the cost schedule) for the increased punching shear strength of ferro- or…

Scientists of the LMU of Munich identified a novel member of a subgroup of the sorting nexin family, SNX-B8 also denoted as SNX-30. In the present invention…

The method can be used to identify the persistence of key odorants after intake of food such as coffee, aromatized beverages, chewing gum, candies or any other…

The present invention discloses a significant altered distribution of FcgammaRIIa genotypes in the presence of CAD as compared to healthy controls. A detailed…

The invention enables to provide vaccines which raise an efficient immunologic response. As a consequence, the design of better prophylactic and therapeutic…

The novel substances prolong the half-life of a natural protein without affecting its anticoagulant function, whereby the anti-thrombotic effect is selectively…

A novel yeast expression system was developed in the lab of Prof. Manfred Schmitt from the Department of Applied Molecular Biology of the Saarland University…

The avian influenza is a virus disease which has recently broken out among birds and fowl in ten states of Asia. According to recent reports from Vietnam and…

The subject-matter of the invention at hand is the laterally resolved, three-dimensional mass spectrometric imaging. The sample to be analysed is located on a…

The broadband boom is creating an ever-increasing demand for more capacity and higher rates of data transfer on both fixed-line and wireless networks. Helping to meet that demand, without the need to lay costly new infrastructure, is the LABELS project.

“Consumers are soon going to want data streams of 100 megabits per second in their homes and eventually 1 gigabit per second,” says José Capmany, a researcher at Valencia Technical University in Spain and the coordinator of the IST

The Nuclear Physics Group at the University of Surrey has been awarded a large scale grant worth almost half a million pounds (£483k) from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to synthesise and study the structure of the most exotic forms of nuclear matter created to date.

The Surrey collaboration, led by Dr. Paddy Regan, Reader in Nuclear Physics, has won a four-year grant to perform a series of experiments at the € 1Billion GSI-FAIR heavy-ion resear

Research published in the journal Space Weather warns that massive gaps in our understanding and monitoring of space weather will effectively block US plans for a manned mars space mission. The study, led by University of Warwick researcher Dr Claire Foullon, draws on work that Dr Foullon and colleagues carried out for the European Space Agency on radiation hazards and space weather.

Dr Foullon points to particular concerns about the radiation dangers of Solar Proton Events (SPEs) particula

One of the biggest obstacles facing computer systems today is the problem of memory latency, the time a computer must wait to access the data stored in memory despite faster processor speeds. Two demonstrators reveal that optoelectronics may offer solutions.

“Your domestic PC these days can have a processor of two GHz and faster – this is quite common – but the processor power will often be wasted because the real bottleneck in computer processing is the memory.” That is John Sn
