    New source of energy for carcinogenesis discovered

    growths that damage healthy tissue. The development of cancer is extremely complex and is controlled by an interplay of various factors. The role of stem cells in the development of cancer has only recently become clear. So-called adult stem cells are present in many of our organs, where they constantly provide for cell replenishment to replace old and dead cells. Many types of cancer in humans arise from adult stem cells whose cell division gets out of control. Jürgen ...

    Not Only Humans, Rats Can Hear Octaves Too

    to hear the similarity between High C and Low C part of human nature or is it culturally learned? Octave equivalence, as scientists call this ability, plays a role not only in music but also in language acquisition. Because we perceive sounds that are separated by an octave as similar, we can see melodies as belonging together regardless of pitch and sounds as belonging together despite differences in frequency. "We don't need to be taught this, we do it automatically, for ...

Cooperation is an important concern for Heinz Faßmann: "We are not doing this alone, but together with three universities in Graz. There is no new allotment, no new institution, but the institute will be embedded in existing structures. It is therefore cost-effective and the existing scientific connections are an excellent prerequisite for rapid and sustainable success." School television 2.0 Of course, ...

    Paving the way for a faster Quantumcomputer
    13.08.2015
    digest, quantum phenomena are real. What’s more, in the last decades, scientists have shown that these bizarre quantum effects can be used for many astonishingly powerful applications: from ultra-secure communication to hacking existing secure communications, and from simulating complex quantum systems to efficiently solving large systems of equations. One of the most exciting and most difficult proposed quantum technologies is the quantum computer. Quantum logic gates are ...

    Planet killers: Why asteroids mainly hit in movies
    24.01.2022
    inner solar system, there is the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and some objects that travel with Jupiter as Trojans. Here we know all objects that are larger than ten kilometers, as well as their orbits. However, there is a group of objects that are between 100 and 500 meters in diameter that are very difficult to detect. These asteroids are dangerous. They could cause regional devastation if they hit inhabited areas. Statistically, such an impact occurs once every ...

    Quantum gravity’s tangled time
    22.08.2019
    University of Queensland (AUS) and the Stevens Institute of Technology (USA) have researched the question what happens when an object massive enough to influence the flow of time is placed in a quantum superposition state? New discovery They were expecting to face the roadblocks making the scenario impossible, but surprisingly, using standard textbook physics they were able to exactly describe what happens. They so discovered that when a massive object is placed in a quantum ...

    Quantum particles: Pulled and compressed
    08.07.2021
    led by Markus Aspelmeyer at the University of Vienna and Lukas Novotny at ETH Zurich cooled a glass nanoparticle into the quantum regime for the first time. To do this, the particle is deprived of its kinetic energy with the help of lasers. What remains are movements, so-called quantum fluctuations, which no longer follow the laws of classical physics but those of quantum physics. The glass sphere with which this has been achieved is significantly smaller than a grain of ...

    Queerness in Ancient Egypt

    Gender identity and gender roles are not an invention of modern times. They have always shaped people's lives - also in antiquity. Uroš Matić, Egyptologist at the Austrian Archaeological Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) , works on gender archaeology which deals with sexuality and gender roles in prehistoric and ancient societies. Researching Gender in Antiquity In your opinion, what makes gender archaeology so fascinating? Uroš Matić: The question of ...

    vocalizations. So, are we talking about language or music? Höschele: Language and music are generally not clearly separated, especially in animals. In the end, both are forms of communication, and they are thought to have common origins. So, our research essentially deals with both. Apart from humans, there are very few animals that can imitate sounds and learn new ones. Dogs, for example, always bark the same, even if they have never seen another dog before. Which musical ...
