New study shows how face masks reduce the effective reproduction number of COVID-19, and why their efficacy varies between different environments under virus-limited and virus-rich…
Scientists dramatically enhance the achievable resolution at free-electron lasers with a new technique. Hard X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) have delivered intense, ultrashort X-ray pulses for…
Why methane carbon isotopes in the deep sea behave so differently than expected. Deep down in the seafloor anaerobic microbes consume large amounts of methane,…
Researchers elucidate how the insect regulates the accumulation of plant toxins via special transporters. When horseradish flea beetles feed on their host plants, they…

Dating to 78,000 years ago, the burial was found by archaeologists in Panga ya Saidi, a cave site on the Kenyan coast. Despite being home…
How can I prepare myself for something I do not yet know? Scientists from the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin and from the Technical University…
For the first time, scientists have succeeded in extracting and analyzing Neandertal chromosomal DNA preserved in cave sediments. The field of ancient DNA has revealed…
Largest study of its kind reveals the way relative brain size of mammals changed over the last 150 million years. Scientists from Stony Brook University…
Superconductivity – the ability of a material to transmit an electric current without loss – is a quantum effect that, despite years of research, is…
Extensive X-ray screening reveals binding to key virus protein. A team of researchers, including scientists from the MPSD, has identified several candidates for drugs against…
The fossil skull of a woman in Czechia has provided the oldest modern human genome yet reconstructed, representing a population that formed before the ancestors…
The chest beats given by adult male gorillas reliably indicate their body size. Gorillas usually stand bipedally and rapidly beat their chests with cupped hands…
