1st place in EuropeMost of the material in the earth's interior, in our solar system, and in our universe is under extremely high pressure. Investigating material properties under extreme high-pressure and high-temperature conditions is thus crucial to understanding geological processes in the earth and other planets.The Bavarian Research Ins...

Using a new technique, researchers at the University of Basel have succeeded in cooling a small membrane down to temperatures close to absolute zero using only laser light. Such extremely cooled membranes could, for instance, find applications in highly sensitive sensors.As long as 400 years ago, the German astronomer Johannes Kepler came up ...

Revealing DNA resection regulatory mechanisms during meiosis and its application for barley breeding
Barley is one of the world's most widely-cultivated cereals. To improve hardiness, yield, or other desired traits, barley breeders cross different varieties to enrich beneficial genes. This is achieved through a process known as homologous recombination, which results in genetic diversity through the exchange of materials between chromosomes....

Autonomous robots that can be deployed flexibly are considered the key to Industry and Logistics 4.0. The problem: Training of robots driven by artificial intelligence (AI) requires very large data volumes which are available to few companies only. The solution: Robots of different companies at different locations learn from each other. Resea...

WHALESWe humans can be a scary acquaintance for whales in the wild. This includes marine biologists tagging them with measuring devices to understand them better. These experiences can make whales behave erratically for a while. Such behaviour can affect research quality and highlights an animal ethics dilemma. Now, University of Copenhagen r...

Prolonged thermal stress , connected to dehydration and the impossibility of dissipating heat, can have dramatic effects on wild animals, especially birds, up to death . To avoid this unfortunate outcome, it would be enough to have some precautions in the design and construction of the structures intended to house them.Here is the conclusion ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- A few years ago while on a fishing trip in the Florida Keys, biologist Lori Schweikert came face to face with an unusual quick-change act. She reeled in a pointy-snouted reef fish called a hogfish and threw it onboard. But later when she went to put it in a cooler she noticed something odd: its skin had taken on the same color...
