Researchers at Leipzig University and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research have now discovered that blue and red light sensing photoreceptors…
Diamondoids are molecules whose framework structure represents a section of the diamond lattice. Due to their size in the range of 0.5 ? 2 nm, they can be considered as ?nano diamonds? with a hydrogen-terminated surface. Despite their small size, they comprise several properties which are characteristic for diamonds, such as a negative electron affinity and, in particular, chemical inertness.
The test procedure demonstrates the efficacy of substances and/or methods which eliminate infectivity using several quantitative measurement parameters (HBsAg, HBeAg, mRNA, cccDNA) for the detection of HBV infection after a titer reduction by more than 4 log 10 steps and is, thus, the first HBV infectivity test to meet the new guidelines of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and the German Association for the Control of Virus Diseases (DVV) for the efficacy of disinfectants and virus-inactivating procedures.
The KBOs were detected through a dedicated Hubble observing program by a New Horizons search team that was awarded telescope time for this purpose.
Their model predicts that a bright hot star, which is the binary companion to an exploding object, remains after the explosion. To verify their theory, the…
The proteins that drive DNA replication—the force behind cellular growth and reproduction—are some of the most complex machines on Earth. The multistep…
