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…
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany have now developed a computer model that can locate these regions using only the…

Information processing circuits in digital computers are static. In our brains, information processing circuits—neurons—evolve continuously to solve complex…
Wettability — the degree to which a liquid either spreads out over a surface or forms into droplets — is crucial to a wide variety of processes. It influences,…
The treatment of IP-10 mediated inflammatory diseases, especially inflammatory bowel diseases, is hampered by lack of treatment effects in some patients and a…
New substrates for metabolizing enzymes are available for in vitro analysis of drug interactions. These substrates show a clear fluorescence of metabolites and…
The manufacturing of common solar cells based on silicon consums too much of valuable resources. That is the reason why scientific and industrial research…
Organometallic compounds are very important for the forming of new carbon-carbon bonds in many chemical reactions. For the first time it is possible to…
Proteins of the Lancefield group A haemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes) share amino-acid sequence homologies with various human proteins. As a…
The present invention relates to a method for monitoring the expression level of a gene in a host by modulating the activity of a regulatory bio molecule. The…
The here described invention comprises plants with increased resistance to drought or salt stress, and an increased yield. The resistance is caused by the…
