    Physicists Design Ultrafocused Pulses
    27.07.2017
    Microwaves, heat radiation, light and X-radiation are examples for electromagnetic waves. Many applications require to focus the electromagnetic fields to small spatiotemporal dimensions. Engineers may use different methods to achieve this. In the journal “Physical Review Letters”, researchers in Oriol Romero-Isart’s group at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Scienes (OeAW) and the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the ...

    Hot Jupiter's magnetic shield
    28.10.2015
    Hot Jupiters are Jupiter-type giant exoplanets close to their host star. This close neighborhood leads to intensive heating and ionization of the planetary upper atmosphere by the stellar X-ray and EUV radiation. As a result, the ionized upper atmospheric material expands and is blown off in the form of a supersonic planetary wind. The planetary magnetic field is a crucial factor that influences the planetary mass loss as well as provides the protective shield for the upper ...

    Hallstatt: 3,000-year-old intestinal parasites of miners analysed

    the next person, usually through contaminated hands or food. Hallstatt miners infected with only two types of parasites Much more surprising, however, is the fact that only these two types of parasites could be detected. This is unusual for this era and allows interesting conclusions about cooking and eating habits. Why? Different intestinal parasites have different routes of infection. Those types of parasites that are ingested through the consumption of insufficiently ...

    Epigenetics: How plants keep genes silent
    07.11.2025
    CDCA7 is essential for one particular type of epigenetic modification, called CG methylation. The study was a collaborative effort with Eriko Sasaki of Kyushu University and was supervised by GMI group leader Frédéric Berger. New insights into a key epigenetic factor Heterochromatin is the tightly packed form of DNA in which genes are kept quiet. In plants, this tight packing is maintained by the protein DDM1. DDM1 is known to be essential for keeping different epigenetic ...

    BAFfling cancer growth strategies
    20.08.2019
    remodeling complexes come in multiple flavors in human cells; a particularly interesting complex is the BAF complex. In fact, it is not only one complex, but many different ones. Up to 15 complex positions can be occupied by proteins encoded from 29 different genes, the combinatorics adding up to more than 10,000 theoretically possible different complexes. Complex BAF complex What makes the BAF complex so relevant for human disease are the mutations that are found in the BAF ...

    then so does her partner, even if skating in ice rinks on two different continents. "The entangled photons in our experiment can be illustrated by not two, but three such ice dancers, dancing a perfectly synchronized quantum mechanical ballet," explains Mehul Malik, the first author of the paper. "Their dance is also a bit more complex, with two of the dancers performing yet another correlated movement in addition to pirouetting. This type of asymmetric quantum entanglement ...

    A deeper understanding of how drugs interact
    13.11.2019
    plays a key role: Certain types of interactions are more likely depending on the exact proximity between the two respective drug modules. If the modules are too far away from each other, it is rather unlikely that an interaction will take place. “We developed a completely new methodology to classify drug interactions. Previous methods could characterize interactions only as synergistic or antagonistic. Our methodology is able to distinguish 12 distinct interactions types and ...

    ‘Invisible’ Poem by W.H. Auden Reconstructed
    04.08.2023
    sensational discovery has far-reaching significance, not only for international Auden research. The impressions result from the papers’ original use as ‘backing sheets’, which were inserted into a typewriter below those sheets of paper on which Auden typed his poetry. "This was a common practice in the typewriter age," says Sandra Mayer, "I expect that we will discover many more such sheets in Auden's archival papers. Moreover, this could also be relevant with regard to ...
