From wound healing to regeneration

The phenomenon of regeneration was discovered over 200 years ago in the freshwater polyp Hydra. Until now, however, it was largely unclear how the orderly regeneration of lost tissues or organs is activated after injury. ...

New photodetector design inspired by plant photosynthesis

Researchers have developed a new type of high-efficiency photodetector inspired by the photosynthetic complexes plants use to turn sunlight into energy. Photodetectors are used in cameras, optical communication systems and ...

Quantum heat pump: A new measuring tool for physicists

Physicists from TU Delft, ETH Zürich and the University of Tübingen have built a quantum scale heat pump made from particles of light. This device brings scientists closer to the quantum limit of measuring radio frequency ...

Glowing tags reveal split-second activity of pathogenic circuitry

Synthetic biologists at Rice University have developed the first technology for observing the real-time activity of some of most common signal-processing circuits in bacteria, including deadly pathogens that use the circuits ...

The effect of Martian ionospheric dispersion on SAR imaging

The subsurface of Mars records important historical information on the formation and evolution of the planet. As an ionized medium, the Martian ionosphere plays a special role in radio wave propagation and is directly related ...
