Wildlife conservation in offshore wind farms

DFKI develops autonomous underwater robot to monitor marine biodiversity. Sustainable monitoring of the marine environment is crucial for the environmentally responsible operation of offshore wind farms and the protection of…

Improving Safety in the Open Air

TU Graz Evaluates Lightning Risk in Real Time. Airport aprons, large construction sites or open-air events are usually defenceless against lightning. To increase safety and reduce downtimes, electrical engineers at…

Implantable sensors unlock ability to continuously monitor inflammation

Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Chicago’s milestone achievement tracks protein levels in real time, enabling monitoring of inflammation at the cellular level. Proteins are the building blocks of life, and changes in…

How long does medication for atopic dermatitis last?

MHH physician Dr Stephan Traidl is investigating the effects of systemic therapies for atopic dermatitis. The Else Kröner Fresenius Foundation honours him with the Memorial Scholarship worth 250,000 euros. Unbearable…

A Blueprint for the Brain’s Circadian Clock

Circadian clocks control physiological processes and behavior in virtually all living organisms. Now an international research team led by researchers from the University of Würzburg has created a detailed map…

New Method for Analyzing Microbiome Interactions

Microbial communities, such as those found in the gut microbiome or other body regions, are crucial for the health and development of hosts. However, understanding how these microbes interact with…

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe makes history with closest pass to Sun

Operations teams have confirmed NASA’s mission to “touch” the Sun survived its record-breaking closest approach to the solar surface on Dec. 24, 2024. Breaking its previous record by flying just…

Largest magnetic anisotropy of a molecule measured at BESSY II

At the Berlin synchrotron radiation source BESSY II, the largest magnetic anisotropy of a single molecule ever measured experimentally has been determined. The larger this anisotropy is, the better a…

Breaking boundaries: Researchers isolate quantum coherence in classical light systems

LSU quantum researchers uncover hidden quantum behaviors within classical light, which could make quantum technologies robust. Understanding the boundary between classical and quantum physics has long been a central question…
