Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence. It’s a topic that is generating high hopes but also provoking some fears. Fraunhofer IAO therefore intends…

A Rutgers-led team has discovered two genes that make some strains of harmful Staphyloccocus bacteria resistant to treatment by copper, a potent and frequently…

In the past decades mainly static attributes have been investigated using machine learning approaches, such as the distribution of soil properties from the…

Combining a first laser pulse to heat up and “drill” through a plasma, and another to accelerate electrons to incredibly high energies in just tens of…

The lung is a highly complex organ in which a great number of very different cells have to work together to enable normal breathing and protection against…

In future space missions, robots will be used for increasingly complex tasks: On foreign planets they shall penetrate into difficult-to-reach areas such as…

Industry is responsible for about 20 percent of the EU-wide greenhouse gas emissions. It will have to reduce its emissions to almost zero by 2050 to meet the…

3.1 million* industrial robots are expected to be in use in factories worldwide next year. Their networking, control and maintenance present the industry with…

A research team led by biophysical chemist Professor Edward Lemke has engineered a designer organelle in a living mammalian cell in a new complex biological…

The exploitation of farmland is being intensified with a focus to raising yields. The degree to which yields actually increase as a result and the extent of…

How can chemical reactions be triggered by light, following the example of photosynthesis in nature?

An international team led by TUM chemist Tom Nilges and engineer Karthik Shankar from the University of Alberta have now found a stable yet flexible…

The Earth is unique in our solar system: It is the only terrestrial planet with a large amount of water and a relatively large moon, which stabilizes the…

Bacteria have fascinating properties. They adapt excellently to their respective environment, and they existed long before humans. Their toughness has led to…

In the new study, the researchers investigated joint attention skills in 10-month-old infants. Joint attention means that one attends to the same objects and…

In the project Fraunhofer iCAIRTM, the Fraunhofer International Consortium for Anti-Infective Research, scientists of the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology…

Ion channels are pores in the membrane of cells or cell organelles. They allow positively or negatively charged particles, so-called ions, to be transported…

Quantum technology is about to make the leap from scientific research to concrete applications. Contributing to this is the new MiLiQuant research project in…

Until August, the researchers want to compare a common pollen trap with a mobile lidar (light radar) in order to find out whether it is possible to distinguish…

Future wireless data networks will have to reach higher transmission rates and shorter delays, while supplying an increasing number of end devices. For this…
