Paper industry could become more energy-efficient with a new measurement method

Structuring and polishing hard material components with laser pulses in a single clamping operation

High-energy pulses lasting just a few picoseconds vaporize the material during UKP structuring. In the second step, the laser, now running with different parameters, melts the top 0.2–2 µm of…

Triplets born from proton collisions found to be correlated with each other

In collisions of counter-propagating proton beams, hadronisation processes can be studied. Detectors register secondary particles produced directly in the collision region or from the decays of long-lived particles within the…

Child Abuse Leaves Lasting Biological Scars on the Brain and DNA

Summary: New research reveals that child maltreatment leaves measurable biological “scars” on DNA, altering brain structure and function. Using a genome-wide epigenetic analysis, scientists identified four key methylation sites—ATE1, SERPINB9P1,…

HIV rates are highest in the American South, despite effective treatments – a clash between culture and public health

The American South has the highest HIV rates in the country, accounting for more than half of new HIV diagnoses nationwide in 2023. This is despite growing availability of a…

Zombies, jiangshi, draugrs, revenants − monster lore is filled with metaphors for public health

Imagine a city street at dusk, silent save for the rising sound of a collective guttural moan. Suddenly, a horde of ragged, bloodied creatures appear, their feet shuffling along the…

3D-printed microrobots adapt to diverse environments with modular design
