A recent study discovered a microbial metabolite that induces Parkinson’s-like symptoms. This research highlights the potential environmental factors contributing to Parkinson’s disease, particularly focusing on…
An innovative AI method developed by University of Konstanz researchers accurately tracks embryonic development stages across species. Initially tested on zebrafish, the method shows promise…
The study found that students in Muslim countries demonstrated improved performance after an intensive Ramadan fasting period compared to a less intense Ramadan. A recent…
The study demonstrates that the creation of groups is not necessarily a result of social behavior, but can also be accounted for by individuals’ entirely…
The new biodegradable polyester, due to its excellent chemical and biological degradation abilities and its impressive mechanical properties, has the potential to be used as…
The scientists were able to learn how the new species has evolved through the use of morphometrics, stable isotope analysis, and genome sequencing. An evolutionary…
How do magnetic waves behave in antiferromagnets and how do they spread? What role do “domain walls” play in the process? And what could this…
Seadragons (Phyllopetryx taeniolatus) live off the coast in western and southern Australia. An international team involving evolutionary biologist Axel Meyer from the University of Konstanz…
Ultrafast laser spectroscopy allows observing the motion of atoms at their natural time scales in the range of femtoseconds, the millionth of a billionth of…
