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…
These one-light-year-tall pillars of cold hydrogen and dust, imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, are located in the Carina Nebula. Violent stellar winds and…
Chemical reactions in the cell are catalyzed by enzymes, which are protein molecules that speed up reactions. Each protein catalyzes a specific reaction. In a…

The team's findings point toward an oscillator that would harness the spin of electrons to generate microwaves—electromagnetic waves in the frequencies used by…
The star in question, known as BP Piscium (BP Psc), appears to be a more evolved version of our Sun, but with a dusty and gaseous disk surrounding it. A pair…
Sleep disordered breathing is a common condition in western countires and
moreover in asia. Patients affected suffer from daytime sleepiness and a variety
of disorders associated with sleep apnea. In Bavaria, 24% of traffic accidents
are caused by sleepiness. The gold standard therapy for sleep apnea is
nasal continous positive air pressure (nCPAP). This treatment shows excellent
results in the sleep lab but low acceptance on the long run.

A novel silicone implant prevents the relaxed tongue from protruding backwards
to the posterior pharyngeal wall. Functionality of the tongue is not impaired.
Patients don´t realise the implant during daytime.
