Infections with several pathogens simultaneously increase the risk of cervical cancer—these results from a study conducted on artificial 3D tissue models at the University of Wuerzburg. Patients who develop cervical…
Autonomous vehicles are not only a major challenge in road traffic. Solutions for highly automated, fully automated and autonomous ships are also being developed for the maritime world. But how…
MHH programme PRACTIS for the training of clinician scientists is supported with 1.3 million euros for another two years. In order to provide patients with the best possible care, the…
Scientists from the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, Vanderbilt University, City University of New York, University of Nebraska, and University of Iowa have just published new results…
NASA is launching a prototype instrument that could make it easier to monitor volcanic activity and air quality. Perched aboard a CubeSat about 300 miles (480 kilometers) above Earth’s surface, the “Nanosat…
Arctic researchers and remote sensing experts use AI and HPC to characterize large, unexplored parts of the Earth. Permafrost — ground that has been permanently frozen for two or more…
Curtin study. New Curtin University-led research has uncovered what may be the oldest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars, revealing the planet may have been habitable at…
An inaugural measurement of the neutron will help physicists learn about nucleon structure and spin. Protons and neutrons–known collectively as nucleons–are the building blocks of matter, but one of these…
The mystery of why life uses molecules with specific orientations has deepened with a NASA-funded discovery that RNA — a key molecule thought to have potentially held the instructions for…
…uncover key mechanisms related to cognitive function. Discovery suggests broad implications for giving brain a boost. While it’s well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly…
Protein design aims to create customized antibodies for therapies, biosensors for diagnostics, or enzymes for chemical reactions. An international research team has now developed a method for designing large new…
Borrowing principles from pest management, ASU researchers aim to extend survival rate, quality of life for cancer patients. Just as crop-devouring insects evolve to resist pesticides, cancer cells can increase…
A large number of 2D materials like graphene can have nanopores – small holes formed by missing atoms through which foreign substances can pass. The properties of these nanopores dictate many…
KIT researchers produce metamaterial with different extension and compression properties than conventional materials. With this material, the working group headed by Professor Martin Wegener at KIT’s Institute of Applied Physics…
Most people think of coffee cups, bathroom tiles or flower pots when they hear the word “ceramic”. Not so Frank Clemens. For the research group leader in Empa’s Laboratory for…
New deep learning architecture enables higher efficiency. It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes….
Humans and animals move with remarkable economy without consciously thinking about it by utilizing the natural oscillation patterns of their bodies. A new tool developed by researchers at the Technical…
AI-enhanced metalenses achieve high-resolution, full-color imaging for compact optical systems. Modern imaging systems, such as those used in smartphones, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) devices, are constantly evolving…
