For the first time, scientists have sequenced the entire genome of the pea aphid, a notorious horticultural and agricultural pest. The findings reveal the…
“To our surprise, we discovered that not all the members of the dendritic cell family are able to detect pathogens such as viruses”, explains Christian A….
During the last decades, the theoretical understanding of single quantum systems, such as single ions or atoms, as well as the experimental ability to…
CeBIT 2010 will take place in Hanover in early March 2010 and will showcase cutting-edge players in IT and telecommunications from across Europe and the rest…
This finding, detailed recently in the journal Science, is important because these nanomaterials are becoming more ubiquitous in the fabrication of…
In addition, the earlier a child is implanted with a cochlear device and the longer he or she wears the device, the better overall quality of life the child…
Researchers at the Technion Faculty of Physics have demonstrated controlled transfer of atoms using coherent tunneling between “optical tweezers”. An experimental setup built at the Technion Faculty of Physics demonstrates…
Researchers investigate nuclear properties of element 100 with laser light. Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? An…
Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team led…
Producing viable eggs from undeveloped oocytes through In vitro technology. Researchers successfully produce viable, embryo-forming egg cells from underdeveloped oocytes extracted from ovarian follicles. Mature egg cells, or oocytes, are…
Non-hallucinogenic marijuana constituent increases sleep in rats. Research by scientists at the University of Sydney has identified a constituent in the cannabis plant that improves sleep. Their report is the…
Research team at Freie Universität Berlin discovers unexpected differences in aging bacterial cells. Surprising findings on bacterial aging have emerged from a study carried out by a team of researchers…
New ISTA assistant professor Julian Léonard makes abstract quantum properties visible. From the realm of the abstract to the tangible, the new assistant professor at the Institute of Science and…
Engineers in Australia have found a way to make stronger and crack-resistant concrete with scrap carpet fibres, rolling out the red carpet for sustainability in the construction sector. The research…
With the increase of new technology and artificial intelligence, the demand for efficient and powerful semiconductors continues to grow. Researchers at the University of Minnesota have achieved a new material…
Physicists create “light hurricanes” that could transport huge amounts of data. Much of modern life depends on the coding of information onto means of delivering it. A common method is…
A new approach to beam shaping will soon make additive manufacturing more flexible and efficient: Fraunhofer ILT has developed a new platform that can be used to individually optimize laser…
… could revolutionize data storage. The atoms of amorphous solids like glass have no ordered structure; they arrange themselves randomly, like scattered grains of sand on a beach. Normally, making…
