An evaluation of over 400 samples shows how subjective well-being develops over the course of a lifespan. At what age are people at their happiest? This seemingly simple question has been studied ...

Originally developed for research applications, the technology is also of interest to industry. Clara Saraceno plans to bring a new kind of laser to the market with a grant from the European Research ...

A new method reconstructs carbon dioxide levels and photosynthesis from fossilized tooth enamel. A previously untapped source of data sheds new light on the climate of the early Earth: fossilized ...

Research findings reinforce new approaches in psychology, using psychedelic substances under medical supervision to treat certain clinical conditions. Psychedelic substances are increasingly being ...

Drones shouldn’t be able to fly over airports and should have a unique serial number. In theory. Researchers from Bochum and Saarbrücken have detected security vulnerabilities, some of them serious, ...

New results from physicists in Bochum have challenged the Standard Model of Cosmology. “Since time immemorial people have been looking at the sky and trying to understand how much stars, planets, ...

Researchers have created a miniature biocatalyst for hydrogen production. It works efficiently with electrons from photosynthesis. Natural hydrogen-producing enzymes are large and extremely sensitive ...

Researchers uncover how a key RNA-processing factor safeguards proper brain development. Microcephaly is a congenital malformation that leads to a significantly reduced brain size and is often ...

Rocks undergo changes over millions of years. Yet it is possible to extract information from them about the climate at the time of their formation. Fluids circulating underground change rocks over the ...

Covalent organic framework compounds are more active as catalysts than one would expect. Researchers have now discovered why. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are less stable as catalysts than ...

An international research team has decoded the genome of the longest-lived known vertebrate: the Greenland shark. It is huge and has special repair capabilities. The Greenland Shark (Somniosus ...

Researchers hope to use plasmas to make the production of hydrogen and steel more environmentally friendly. The key to this is a tornado that they generate in a lab. There is a storm brewing in the ...
