We’ve all experienced turbulent air and water, but did you know light can be turbulent too?

After a preparatory period of about three years, observations that play an important role in studying the atmosphere in the Arctic will start at the end of…

“Plumes of water erupt from Europa and Enceladus, so we can tell that these bodies have subsurface oceans beneath their ice shells, and they have energy that…

In their search for new materials which can conduct electricity without any resistance, the so-called superconductors, many scientists now investigate…

One strategy to fight cancer is to target its Achilles’ heel – the addiction to growth-promoting proteins. However, as many of these so-called cancer drivers…

LASCO, which is aboard SOHO, was developed in 1995 to see the extremely faint emission from the region around the Sun called the corona. Operating in space for…

The phenomenon of human ageing is the result of a complex interaction between numerous factors, with our own immune system playing a critical role. As we get…

Healing with the help of marine organisms is no utopia. Already 12 life-saving drugs, e.g. against cancer, have been developed from marine organisms and their…
