A large-scale international study led by researchers at the University of Bonn has identified specific root traits that contribute significantly to drought tolerance in maize. The research, which examined over 9,000 maize varieties, highlights the central role of root system architecture in enabling crops to withstand water scarcity—a finding with broad implications for agricultural adaptation in
A comprehensive international study, recently published in Nature , reveals that climate change is causing rapid and significant alterations in Arctic vegetation. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg, among others, have found substantial local variations in which plant species are favored or disadvantaged due to these environmental changes.

Eindhoven, May 2025 — Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) are pioneering the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in intensive care units (ICUs), aiming to enhance patient outcomes and streamline clinical decision-making processes. This initiative is part of a broader effort to integrate advanced technologies into critical care settings. The research focuses on de
A recent study from Radboud University critically examines how major technology companies, including Google, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft, position themselves as central figures in addressing the climate crisis, despite ongoing scrutiny regarding their environmental footprints Conducted by culture scholar Rianne Riemens, the research delves into the marketing strategies and public communications o
Researchers at the University of Cologne have demonstrated, for the first time, a physical observation of Crossed Andreev Reflection (CAR) in nanoscale structures composed of topological insulators and superconductors. This discovery marks a critical advancement in the field of topological quantum computing by confirming a key quantum transport mechanism that had previously only been t
Recent findings by immunologists at the University of Cologne reveal that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines not only induce an effective antibody response but also trigger long-term modifications in the innate immune system. The study sheds light on the enduring effects of mRNA vaccination, highlighting its potential to influence immune memory well beyond the acute phase of immunization. Epigenetic Rep
Researchers from the University of Göttingen, in collaboration with the University of Tübingen and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience, have developed an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) framework that significantly enhances our understanding of the brain’s visual processing mechanisms. This novel approach integrates deep neural networks (DNNs) with neurobiological data to sim
