A recent study sheds light on the crucial role of the exocyst, a large protein complex, in cell growth, division, and communication. The research reveals new functions and mechanisms that are fundamental to how molecules move across a membrane via vesicles within a cell. Understanding these mechanis...

Researchers from the University of Connecticut’s College of Engineering (CoE) have reached a significant milestone in phononics with the first experimental demonstration of an all-flat phononic band structure (AFB). Phononics, which involves the control of sound and heat, has now entered a new front...

Fungi, known for their wide range of forms and functions, have been shown to possess yet another remarkable ability: generating electricity. Researchers from Empa’s Cellulose and Wood Materials laboratory have developed a functioning fungal battery as part of a three-year project funded by the Geber...

TU Graz has developed innovative measurement methods and tools for assessing emissions from category-L vehicles, such as mopeds, motorbikes, tricycles, and quads, in real-world conditions. These efforts are part of the "LENS" project (L-vehicles Emissions and Noise Mitigation Solutions), f...
