The respiratory chain plays a central role in energy metabolism of the cell. It is localized in mitochondria, the cell´s own power plants. In a new study, researchers from Goethe…
With their altered metabolism, cancer cells grow faster than normal cells. Scientists at Leipzig University’s Faculty of Medicine have now discovered that cancer cells need the succinate receptor to control…
Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP have succeeded in realizing a multicolor OLED microdisplay that consumes the lowest power of all available…
Our brains can distinguish highly similar patterns, thanks to a process called pattern separation. How exactly our brains separate patterns is, however, not fully understood yet. Using a full-scale computer…
“Until now researchers have encoded and stabilized. We now show that we can compute as well.” Researchers at QuTech—a collaboration between the TU Delft and TNO—have reached a milestone in…
Model replicates features of complex disease, provides platform for screening existing drugs. Using a stem-cell-derived model, researchers have identified two drug candidates that may slow dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD),…
Unusual magnetically driven vortices may be generating Earth-size concentrations of hydrocarbon haze. While Jupiter’s Great Red Spot has been a constant feature of the planet for centuries, University of California,…
Scientists from the H.E.S.S. collaboration including a consortium of German universities, the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik and the CNRS in France have recently identified electrons and positrons with the highest energies…
Scientists at the European XFEL and DESY produce high-power attosecond X-ray pulses at megahertz repetition rates. Publication in Nature Photonics. A research team at European XFEL and DESY has achieved…
Nerve cells in the retina were analysed at TU Wien (Vienna) using microelectrodes. They show astonishingly stable behavior – good news for retina implants. The retina is often referred to…
…shows promise as antimicrobial agent. Rice scientists develop nanocrystals that kill bacteria under visible light. Newly developed halide perovskite nanocrystals (HPNCs) show potential as antimicrobial agents that are stable, effective…
ISTA scientists use harmless viruses to investigate the nervous system in frogs. Amphibians hold a significant place in evolution, representing the transition from aquatic to terrestrial lifestyles. They are crucial…
Electrically defined quantum dots in zinc oxide. Researchers have successfully created electrically defined quantum dots in zinc oxide (ZnO) heterostructures, marking a significant milestone in the development of quantum technologies….
Using energy- and resource-saving methods, a research team at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at TU Graz aims to produce high-quality doped silicon layers for the electronics and solar industries….
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…
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology joins IQST as a new partner. The mission of IQST is to further our understanding of nature and develop innovative technologies based on quantum science by…
Working in a team is also relevant for drones. Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are omnipresent and have grown in popularity due to their wide potential use…
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….
