People who reduce their screen time on by merely one hour a day improve both their well-being and their motivation at work.

Wireless communication (WiFi) has become an indispensable part of the modern digital infrastructure, from homes to hotels and public institutions. However, security remains a critical issue.

Researchers have created a quantum superposition state in a semiconductor nanostructure that might serve as a basis for quantum computing. The trick: two optical laser pulses that act as a single ...

A sensor identifies misfolded protein biomarkers in the blood. This offers a chance to detect Alzheimer's disease before any symptoms occur. Researchers intend to bring it to market maturity.

Procrastination is the thief of time. Not everyone finds this fact deterring. Two different brain areas might be the reason for this.

Unlike hitherto assumed, the cause is not to be found in the brain. It is not the brain that determines if people are right or left-handed, but the spinal cord. This has been inferred from the ...

A Bochum-based research team triggered artificial odour sensations in rats – and looked at what happens in the brain as a result.

A misfolded protein facilitates reliable diagnosis even in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease in body fluids.

Progesterone was shown in a study to have a protective effect on intestine nerve cells. These findings raise hopes that the hormone could be used in the fight against Parkinson’s disease.

The animals use a special luminescent organ to generate blink patterns. The blinking frequency affects the behaviour of the other fish in the school.

Researchers conducted an experiment in which test subjects felt like a rubber hand was part of their own body. As a result, their own hand became less sensitive to pain.
