In quantum physics, some of the most interesting effects are the result of interferences. Decoherence, or loss of coherence, occurs when a quantum system eventually loses the ability to produce interferences, due to external ...
In almost all cases of colon cancer, a specific gene is mutated—this offers opportunities to develop broadly effective therapeutic approaches. Research teams in Würzburg have taken this a step further.
