Rye is not only a hardy and high-yielding crop, but also possesses a valuable gene pool for wheat breeding. An international research team led by the IPK Leibniz Institute has significantly improved the foundations for research and breeding by publishing a high-quality reference genome sequence. For...
The development of new active compounds to combat infectious and tropical diseases requires high-performance research infrastructures and close collaboration between science and industry. The role that modern laboratory automation plays in this process was the focus of a visit on August 13 by Member...
Electron microscopes are used wherever particularly small details need to be imaged. But from a strictly physical point of view, every electron in a conventional electron microscope represents a missed opportunity: if all you do is count electrons, any additional quantum information they carry remai...
Liquid electrolytes are often described like recipes: a salt, a solvent, an additive, and a concentration. Yet the chemistry that shapes battery lifetime, safety, and efficiency begins in a far more complex liquid environment. A new Perspective reframes battery electrolytes as evolving liquid states...
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and Varex Imaging Corporation jointly announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Teledyne will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Varex for $18.90 per share payable in cash.

Rice University researchers have shown that tiny wrinkles in graphene can change the material’s electrical properties, providing evidence for flexoelectricity, a phenomenon in which a material generates an electric charge when it bends unevenly. The findings are published in Advanced Materials.
The ...
Astorg, a leading pan-European private equity firm, announced the successful completion of its acquisition of the global microbiology business from Thermo Fisher Scientific. The business will now operate as an independent company under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Dirk Bontridder and wi...
For the first time, researchers have determined the shape of the actinide nucleus of fermium‑255 and measured its structure with high precision and resolution. This breakthrough, published in Physical Review Letters, supports modern theoretical models and opens new possibilities for understanding th...

Cancer occurs when cells divide uncontrollably and displace healthy cells. Tumor suppressors provide an important defense against this. As molecular growth inhibitors, they prevent healthy cells from becoming cancerous. A key protein among them is p53, also known as the “guardian of the genome”. If ...
Bruker Corporation announced a majority investment in MIMETAS B.V., a developer of organ-on-a-chip platforms and advanced human tissue and disease models for drug discovery and development. The investment expands Bruker’s post-genomic solutions for disease biology research, as well as for drug disco...

For female consumers, fruit juice is synonymous with naturalness and quality. Products sold as fruit juice must not contain any added sugar—only the sugar that occurs naturally in the fruit. However, adulteration with foreign sugars is difficult to detect analytically because added syrups can mimic ...
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg and Sahlgrenska University Hospital have conducted the first randomized clinical trial in the world to test cortisone eye drops to slow the progression of serious eye disease in extremely premature babies. The results suggest that the intervention can redu...
Every year, billions of products are sealed in film packaging. This packaging must be reliably leakproof, especially in regulated sectors such as in the medical and food industry. In the OCTInline project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS have develop...
Eppendorf has signed an agreement for a new production site in Penang, Malaysia, marking the start of its planned greenfield manufacturing facility in Bandar Cassia Technology Park. The company is investing EUR 40 million in the site, with production of initial products expected to begin in 2028.

Researchers at the Max Born Institute have developed a laboratory-based method in which attosecond pulses are used both to excite and to observe electronic motion. Using a technique known as all-attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, the team was able to resolve the oscillatory motion of an e...
Plant-based diets are good for you. They promote gut, immune, metabolic and cardiovascular health, in part by cultivating a diverse community of intestinal bacteria. These benefits have long been known to stem partly from the fiber in plant-based foods, which are processed by our commensal gut bacte...
