Young stars ejecting plasma could give us clues into the Sun’s past Kyoto, Japan — Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They often occur together with sudden brightenings called flares, and sometimes extend far enough to disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, generating space weather phenomena including auroras or geomagnetic storms, and even damaging power grids on occasion. Scientists believe that when…
Led by San Francisco State University astronomer Stephen Kane, a team of researchers has spotted an extrasolar planet about 117 light-years from earth that…
The Lomonosov Moscow State University astronomers who created a global network of robotelescopes MASTER detected that a bright star TYC 2505-672-1 has actually…
The non-invasive, acute or short-time preventive allergy treatment will be administered as aerosol spray, eye drops, or encapsulated for oral administration, ideally before exposure to the allergen. A complex of antibodies directed against pollen/food allergens with a cell-surface molecule prevents allergic inflammation by trappi ng the allergens on the
mucosal surface of the respi ratory tract, the eyes, or the gut.
Tue present invention relates to the generation and use of self-standing giant porous hydrophilic nanomembranes (PHNM). Currently available nanomembranes are mainly hydrophobic, which greatly limits their application in biotechnology and life sciences. In contrast, the PHNM is made from hydrophilic polymers and is therefore ideally suited for use inaqueous media.
Novel chromatic phase plate designed for STED or RESOLFT fluorescence light microscopy
This innovation allows to extract indispensable chemical resources out of renewable resources instead of mineral oil, the finite resource. It is a method for the degradation of terpenes by ethenolysis.
A new class of molecules with bifunctional properties can influence cortical neuron growth, with the potential for slowing or even reversing neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's patients.
The major clinical challenge in treating NPM-ALK+ anaplastic large cell
lymphomas (ALCL) is its high rate of relapse. Researchers of the Medical
University of Vienna identified high expression of PDGFRß in the NPMALK
induced ALCL. Pharmaceutical targeting of PDGFRB using a tyrosine
kinase inhibitor (TKI) strongly reduced tumor size in SCID-mice xenografted with NPM-ALK mouse tumor cells, and increased the survival of NPM-ALK+ transgenic mice by more than 90%. These data provide evidence for the use of FDA approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the effective treatment of lymphomas and encourage the development of specific clinical trials.
Handling big data can sometimes feel like driving on an unpaved road for researchers with a need for speed and supercomputers.
An international team of scientists using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has combined images taken with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) with the…
Is this the future of traffic controls? A special laser is set up at the side of the road to scan passing vehicles. Its light is reflected by a mirror…
The scientists studied Kappa Ceti, a star located 30 light years away in the constellation Cetus, the Whale. Kappa Ceti is remarkably similar to our Sun, but…
For more than ten years, the H.E.S.S. observatory in Namibia has been mapping the centre of our galaxy in very-high-energy gamma rays. These gamma rays are…
That could change with a new sonar technology developed by University of Washington computer scientists and electrical engineers that allows you to interact…
