If on a warm summer’s evening in the beer garden, small beetles dive into your beer, consider giving them a break. Referred to as “ambrosia beetles”, these…

Fast charging of electric cars requires a lot of energy in a short period of time. These peak loads lead to bottlenecks in the power grid, and are one of the…

Welding is still the standard technique for joining metals. However, this laborious process carried out at high temperatures is not suitable for all…

Researchers from Kiel University together with colleagues from the USA and Brazil investigated the climate behavior nine to five million years ago, when polar…

Longer life times, larger ranges and faster recharging – developments such as electric mobility or the miniaturisation of electronics require new storage…

Microscopic video recordings showed that these movements are controlled by ions, attached to the surface of the electrode. These findings could help to control…

Infrasound waves oscillate at frequencies humans can’t hear, but they’re extremely useful for monitoring nuclear blasts because infrasound decays so slowly…

Responsive Materialien können auf externe Kräfte mit einem Phasenübergang reagieren. Auch Biopolymer-Tensid-Mischungen sind dazu fähig, wie eine Studie von…

Exchange of material and information at the level of individual cells requires transport and signalling at level of the plasma membrane enclosing the cell….

Lung and pancreatic cancer are collectively referred to as KRAS tumors, as they share the same genetic error. This error means that the KRAS protein, involved…

Professor Edward Lemke will be coordinating a new Priority Program researching the formation and function of characteristic protein complexes in the cell. The…

Light detection and control lies at the heart of many modern device applications, such as smartphone cameras. Using graphene as a light-sensitive material for…

In the body, the immune system often begins its response to various attackers in the same way: the body activates immune cells, so-called phagocytes, which…

“We are particularly interested in advances in nanotube integration into photonic cavities for manipulating and optimizing light-emission properties,” said…

Classical electronics allows frequencies up to around 100 gigahertz. Optoelectronics uses electromagnetic phenomena starting at 10 terahertz. This range in…

During the development of the human nervous system, billions of nerve cells connect up in order to communicate with each another. To this end, they use their…

For the fourth time since 2015, more than 100 researchers and industry representatives from more than 20 countries come together to discuss new…

It was already in 2012 that a team of scientists headed by Professor Benedikt Berninger first succeeded in reprogramming connective tissue cells present in the…

Climate change is heavily related to the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants absorb some of the industrial CO2 emissions from the…

The research, led by Cornelius Hempel and Thomas Monz, explores a promising pathway for developing effective ways to model chemical bonds and reactions using…
