Nonadiabatic tunneling is crucial for understanding high harmonic generation from semiconductors
Nonadiabatic tunneling is crucial for understanding high harmonic generation from semiconductors
Scientists reveal that nonadiabatic tunneling is crucial for understanding high harmonic generation from semiconductors When matter is exposed to highly intense electromagnetic radiation, nonlinearities of the material may lead to the emission of light that contains very high multiples of the incident frequency.

Poorly insulated nerve cells promote Alzheimer's disease in old age
Poorly insulated nerve cells promote Alzheimer’s disease in old age
Researchers have shown that defective myelin actively promotes disease-related changes in Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer's disease, an irreversible form of dementia, is considered the world's most common neurodegenerative disease. The prime risk factor for Alzheimer's is age, although it remains unclear why.

Neutrons show how pre-filled syringes clog
Neutrons show how pre-filled syringes clog
The hypodermic needles on pre-filled syringes can clog when stored incorrectly. A research team subjected the process to a detailed and systematic investigation, including activities at the Research Neutron Source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) of the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The results will help improve manufacturing and storage conditions accordingly.

Better search for the cause of hereditary diseases
Better search for the cause of hereditary diseases
So far, it has not been possible to explain the causes of around half of all rare hereditary diseases. A Munich research team has developed an algorithm that predicts the effects of genetic mutations on RNA formation six times more precisely than previous models. As a result, the genetic causes of rare hereditary diseases and cancer can be identified more precisely.

Successfully outsmart harmful mutations
Successfully outsmart harmful mutations
An international research team led by Zoya Ignatova from the University of Hamburg has developed a novel strategy to suppress genetic mutations using artificially engineered transfer RNAs (tRNA). These mutations can lead to serious diseases. The tests, which were successfully performed on patient cells and mice, could provide a new approach to combat various and currently incurable diseases.

Microorganisms break down petroleum components in the seabed
Microorganisms break down petroleum components in the seabed
Archaea cultivated in the laboratory are active even at high temperatures and without oxygen The seafloor is home to around one-third of all the microorganisms on the Earth and is inhabited even at a depth of several kilometers. Only when it becomes too hot does the abundance of microorganisms appear to decline.

Abandoning land transforms nature
Abandoning land transforms nature
Research team including Göttingen University shows impact on biodiversity of abandoned land The past 50 years have seen an increased exodus of populations from rural to urban areas and more than half the world's population now lives in or around a city. This proportion is likely to rise to around 70% by 2050, leading to a rise in the number of abandoned fields, pastures, mines, factories, and even entire villages.

Microbes under power
Microbes under power
In microbial electrosynthesis, microorganisms use CO2 and electricity to produce alcohol, for example. How this process works biologically, however, was previously only speculated. Researchers in Jena have now been able to confirm experimentally for the first time that bacteria use electrons from hydrogen and can produce more chemicals than previously known.

Health information increases whole grain consumption
But the effect of providing information is relatively small, shows a study by the University of Bonn Whole grain products are healthy, but not particularly popular. However, providing information of their benefits can change that, at least a little bit. This is demonstrated by a recent study conducted by the University of Bonn, involving over 300 people between the ages of 18 and 39.

Desert ants increase the visibility of their nest entrances in the absence of landmarks
If other visual cues are missing, ants build higher nest hills to facilitate homing of foraging nest mates Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology report that in the absence of visible landmarks, desert ants increase the likelihood that foraging nest mates will find their way home quickly and safely by elevating their nest entrance.

Curious children, less curious apes
Curious children, less curious apes
Children choose a "mystery box" more often than apes, but after a glimpse of a larger reward from the uncertain option, great apes show more curiosity Humans are curious creatures. We are motivated to explore and investigate mysterious or unknown objects, but do other great apes share this innate curiosity?

Novel mechanism for flight control in fruit flies
Novel mechanism for flight control in fruit flies
Researchers at the Institute for Theoretical Biology at Humboldt Universität have solved a long-standing mathematical puzzle about the emergence of electrical activity patterns during insect flight. Together with colleagues at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, they report a novel function for electrical synapses in governing the flight of fruit flies in the current issue of Nature.

Light conveyed by the signal transmitting molecule sucrose controls growth of plant roots
Light conveyed by the signal transmitting molecule sucrose controls growth of plant roots
Team of Freiburg researchers shows how information about the quantity of absorbed light passes from the leaves to the roots Plant growth is driven by light and supplied with energy through photosynthesis by green leaves. It is the same for roots that grow in the dark - they receive the products of photosynthesis, in particular sucrose, i.e. sugar, via the central transportation pathways of phloem.

Let information flow faster - with light instead of electricity
Let information flow faster - with light instead of electricity
Either 1 or 0. Either current flows or it does not. In electronics, everything is controlled via the binary system. Electrons already generate information quite fast and well, pass them on and take over various switching functions. But it can be done even faster. Paul Herrmann and Sebastian Klimmer from the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena have proven that.

When the cell digests itself
When the cell digests itself
Our cells are crisscrossed by a system of membrane tubes and pockets called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is crucial for the production of biomolecules and is continuously built up and degraded. Degradation, known as ER-phagy, is promoted by the protein ubiquitin, which controls many processes in the cell.

Rapeseed and the enemy in the soil
Research group led by Göttingen University identifies importance of bacteria for germination of disease-causing fungus Crops have a high nutritional value, which makes them essential to people. However, this also makes them attractive to harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi. In fact, most pathogens can only attack specific plants and there has been extensive research to try to discover how fungi locate their host plants.

Emergence of solvated dielectrons observed for the first time
Team in conjunction with the University of Freiburg generates low-energy electrons using ultraviolet light Solvated dielectrons are the subject of many hypotheses among scientists, but have never been directly observed. They are described as a pair of electrons that is dissolved in liquids such as water or liquid ammonia.

Unique archaeological find in Thorikos
Unique archaeological find in Thorikos
Archaeologists from the University of Göttingen have discovered the earliest Iron Age house in Athens in Thorikos (Greece), south of Athens. This is an important, unexpected and unique finding for early Greek history: building structures from this early period, from the 10th to the 9th century BC, have never been excavated anywhere in Attica before.

Oops, did I do that - or is there someone else in my head?
The feeling that your own actions are controlled by external forces is a common feature in schizophrenia. A research team at the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research, the University of Tübingen and the Center for Mental Health at the Tübingen University Hospitals has now examined this phenomenon of -delusions of control- in more detail.
