Göttingen researchers have developed mini-antibodies that efficiently block the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and its dangerous new variants. These so-called nanobodies bind and neutralize the virus up…
A long day for microbes, and the rise of oxygen on Earth. Virtually all oxygen on Earth was and is produced by photosynthesis, which was…
A Potential New Tracer of Exoplanet Formation An international team of astronomers, including scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, have become the first…
The cosmic mass monsters clear the way for the formation of new suns in satellite galaxies. Research combining systematic observations with cosmological simulations has found…
While it is widely accepted that climate change drove the evolution of our species in Africa, the exact character of that climate change and its…
New findings from scientists of Bremen will aid in the further development of biogeochemical models that include the marine nitrogen cycle. In the deep waters…
Early Dispersal of Neolithic Domesticated Sheep Into the Heart of Central Asia Along the Tian Shan and Alay mountain ranges of Central Asia, sheep and…
New research 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…
Important milestone for next-generation acceleration experiment. The future of particle acceleration has begun. Awake is a promising concept for a completely new method with which…
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…
