Knowledge by simplification: Scientists explore strong force
The recent publication concerns the so-called “strong force” that plays a crucial role for the existence of matter in the visible universe. Just how exactly this mechanism, fundamentally described by
New therapeutic attack point: Scientists find off-switch for the mTor complex
The important control functions of the mTor kinase influence cell metabolism, division and growth. For example, the molecular control unit ensures the production of new proteins or the storage of
Gene therapy could ‘turn off’ severe allergies
A team led by Associate Professor Ray Steptoe at the UQ Diamantina Institute has been able to ‘turn-off’ the immune response which causes allergic reaction in animals. “When someone has

Red light has no effect on bat activity: Less disruption by changing artificial color
It’s the first time researchers have succeeded in measuring the effects of light with different spectra on the activity of slow-flying, light-shy bats in their foraging habitat. “We’ve found these
Antarctic ice rift close to calving, after growing 17km in 6 days, latest data from ice shelf shows
The rift in Larsen C is likely to lead to one of the largest icebergs ever recorded. It is being monitored by researchers from the UK’s Project Midas, led by
Observation of the phase transition of liquid crystal defects for the first time
The phase transition of topological defects, which was also the theme of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2016, can be difficult to understand for a layperson but it needs
