Searching for clues and leads is still something investigators have to do themselves. But if they find creepy-crawlies at the crime scene, these creatures can be of great help. First come the ...

The discovery of the phantom touch illusion provides insights into human perception and opens up new perspectives for interaction with virtual reality technology. Virtual reality (VR) is not only a ...

We all know what it’s like when the penny suddenly drops. Animals too experience such moments of insight. They could prove useful for research, according to Ekrem Dere. For generations, researchers ...

Researchers have created a miniature biocatalyst for hydrogen production. It works efficiently with electrons from photosynthesis. Natural hydrogen-producing enzymes are large and extremely sensitive ...

A new method reconstructs carbon dioxide levels and photosynthesis from fossilized tooth enamel. A previously untapped source of data sheds new light on the climate of the early Earth: fossilized ...

Researchers are zeroing in on the Achilles’ heel of pathogens that cause Chagas disease, sleeping sickness and leishmaniasis. The efforts of a research team from Bochum and Würzburg give hope for new ...

The researcher joined the Research Center Future Energy Materials and Systems in March – thanks in part to a "NRW Returning Scholars Grant". Awardees receiving a "NRW Returning Scholars Grant" can ...

So far, geodesign has remained a niche in real-world planning practices. Yet it could make things so much easier. In urban planning, competing interests – such as creating more space for housing while ...

Scientists have found new paths to steer and optimize electrochemical processes. Optimizing electrochemical reactions is essential for the transition to renewable energies. In electrochemical ...

Formaldehyde can inhibit enzymes that produce hydrogen particularly efficiently. Researchers from Bochum have discovered how this can be prevented. Formaldehyde is known as a preservative, among other ...

Originally developed for research applications, the technology is also of interest to industry. Clara Saraceno plans to bring a new kind of laser to the market with a grant from the European Research ...

This new concept could allow the needs of previously separate industries to be combined. A research team from the University Alliance Ruhr, Germany, has found a catalyst that can be used to convert ...
