wire - news in brief

Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Published: The increasing electrification of the chemical industry and the transport sector is increasing the global demand for sustainable and regionally available starting materials for electrochemical energy storage systems.

Finding written sources, analysing them and using the results of the analysis to answer a research question - this is how historians work.

Major milestone reached in digital Cuneiform studies: researchers from Mainz, Marburg, and Würzburg present an innovative tool that offers many new possibilities.

When emerging at night by the thousands, bats avoid colliding by changing how they move and echolocate To the point High-resolution tracking and ultrasonic recording: When bats squeeze out of caves 94 percent of echolocation calls are jammed.

A mixture of different ingredients offers an alternative to foie gras thanks to treatment with a goose enzyme A cruelly produced specialty: Foie gras is considered a specialty, but is produced by the atrocious method of force-feeding and is therefore heavily criticized.

A research consortium involving the TU Ilmenau has just launched a project to enable the early detection of lung cancer. With the help of a mobile respiratory diagnostic device, the human exhaled gas is to be analyzed with the aid of AI in order to detect signs of lung cancer earlier and more gently than before.

To the point Difference between humans, chimpanzees and Neanderthals: In humans, facial growth slows during childhood and stops during adolescence. Decline in bone cell activity: During puberty, the activity of the skull bone cells comes to a halt. This helps to keep the face smaller in adulthood. The human face is strikingly distinct from our fossil cousins and ancestors - most notably, it is significantly smaller, and more gracile.

How can employers behave in an environmentally friendly manner and thus act more sustainably? Are waste separation, reducing the CO2 footprint or replacing company cars with car-sharing cars enough?

Researchers at the University of Würzburg have developed a headset that astronauts can use to train for various missions.

Bonn researchers develop a versatile toolbox for the characterization of IRESes in cells The research field of "cellular IRESes" lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable

Proteins in the sheath of cellular protrusions regulate the ability of cells to adhere to surfaces Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from Germany and Italy have recently revealed new insights into the protective layer surrounding these cilia.

In a new study, business chemists at the University of Münster assess the costs of hydrogen-powered cargo ships Cargo transport is responsible for an enormous carbon footprint.

At this year's Hannover trade fair, Technische Universität Ilmenau is presenting two innovative technologies for the autonomous driving of the future and two pioneering solutions for energy-efficient and intelligent mobile networks.
