What is the evolutionary advantage of our consciousness? And what can we learn about this from observing birds? Researchers ...

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 ...

The discovery of the phantom touch illusion provides insights into human perception and opens up new perspectives for interaction with virtual reality technology. Virtual reality (VR) is not only a ...

A misfolded protein facilitates reliable diagnosis even in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease in body fluids. Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that is usually diagnosed in its ...

Searching for clues and leads is still something investigators have to do themselves. But if they find creepy-crawlies at the crime scene, these creatures can be of great help. First come the ...

A learning experiment with participants of different ages produced surprising results. The ability to make the connection between an event and its consequences – experts use the term associative ...

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 ...

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 ...

Oxygen can destroy hydrogen-producing enzymes. Researchers from Bochum and Osaka have discovered how an extraordinary protein survives in the presence of oxygen.

Using ammonia is regarded as a promising method of transporting hydrogen. However, an efficient process is also needed to convert it back into hydrogen and nitrogen. An international research team has ...
