Researchers from Dresden and Vienna reveal a link between the connectivity of three-dimensional structures in tissues and the emergence of their architecture to help scientists…
Dr. Hannah Rowland and Dr. John Skelhorn explain how these defensive patterns on moth wings persuade birds that assaulting the insects is not worth the risk….
The study found that faulty RNA processing can result in longer life. RNA is an important information transmitter in our cells and acts as a…
Researchers find another brain-shrinking mammal. European moles face an existential crisis in the depths of winter. Their high-limit mammal metabolisms need more food than is available…
The brain’s hemispheres are not equal. At first glance, the human body seems to be symmetrical: two arms, two legs, two eyes, two ears, and…
The study uses bacteria to bring scientists closer to building these artificial lifelike cells. Researchers have used bacteria to help develop advanced synthetic cells that…
Brain organoids shed light on the evolution of the human brain. Great ape animal studies have long been prohibited in Europe due to ethical concerns….
Ancient genomes of thirteen Neanderthals provide an unprecedented snapshot of their community and social organization. For the first time, scientists have managed to sequence multiple…
For the first time, researchers compared schizophrenia and frontotemporal dementia, two conditions that affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Rarely do researchers…
Red has a signaling and warning effect. How is this color specificity reflected in the brain? Scientists at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute for Neuroscience have…
EP-WXT Pathfinder has released its first results. EP-WXT Pathfinder, an experimental prototype of a module that will ultimately be part of the wide-field X-ray telescope…
Dragons and Brain Evolution These days, dragons are keeping Game of Thrones fans on their toes. But according to recent research conducted by Max Planck scientists…
A one-hour stroll in nature decreases stress-related brain activity, according to new research. Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing mental…
Scientists uncover a greater neuron production in the frontal lobe during brain development in modern humans than Neanderthals due to the change of a single…
Scientists have successfully created photon pairs at several different frequencies using resonant metasurfaces. Tomás Santiago-Cruz and Maria Chekhova from the Max Planck Institute for the…
Brief exposure to rapamycin has the same anti-aging effects as lifelong treatment. Imagine being able to take a medicine that prevents the decline that comes…
Effects are comparable to those of going to actual art galleries or even being in nature. Visits to art galleries and museums can have a…
Theoretical physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have demonstrated how the coupling between intense lasers, the motion…
