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…
The Invention describes novel analogues of 14-methoxymetopon(14-MM) a µpioid receptor (MOR) Ligand with a unique pharmacological Profile, for the Treatment of moderate-to-severe acute and chronoc pain.
Use your computer without the need to start it up: a new type of magnetic memory makes it possible. This 'MRAM' is faster, more efficient and robust than other…
„Beam me up, Scotty“ – even if Captain Kirk supposedly never said this exact phrase, it remains a popular catch-phrase to this day. Whenever the chief…
“We've taken a major step back in time, beyond what we'd ever expected to be able to do with Hubble. We see GN-z11 at a time when the universe was only three…
“We’ve never before seen any FRB repeat, but to be sure we continued to monitor a previously discovered FRB over many months,” says Laura Spitler, lead author…
Zieminska, a senior scientist in the IU Bloomington College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Physics, is a lead member of the team responsible for the…
Researchers develop a successful and validated new model of coronal mass ejections to improve space weather forecasting.
Neutrinos are relics from supernovae, or exploding stars. They are so tiny and interact so weakly that every second, trillions of them manage to pass through…
sAXL (a soluble cleavage product of the receptor tyrosine kinase AXL)
represents a novel biomarker allowing the detection of very early stage
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
The ultrasound sensor enables 3D measurement (distance and bearing) of multiple reflection points in air. The compact design delivers objectindependent results with high accuracy. Applicability for complex environments is ensured by construction.
A new generation of biocompatible and biodegradab le polymers for tissue engineering has been developed. The liquid precursors can be either cured in vivo or printed by additive manufacturing technology.
NeuNAc is used as a precursor for the production of neuraminidase inhibitors, which are used for the treatment of viral diseases. {e.g. drug Relenza). A new process was developed at the TU Vienna combining the advantage of a single-step process and using the cheap and renewable substrate chitin.
The core of this invention is a combination of analytical and experimental methods, which allow a fast, cheap and easy way to identify different observable physiologic states in a BMP process.
One of the world's top particle accelerators has reached a milestone, achieving its “first turns” – circulating beams of particles for the first time – and…
