Various research groups at the 星空传媒 have optimized their electricity consumption with the Electricity Saving Challenge. Simple measures have made it possible to significantly reduce electricity consumption 鈥� without any limitations on the science.
US President Trump has imposed high tariffs on a number of countries and announced that more are to follow. In this interview, legal expert Dr. Krista Nadakavukaren Schefer explains how international trade law might respond.
Antibiotics are indispensable for treating bacterial infections. But why are they sometimes ineffective, even when the bacteria are not resistant? In their latest study published in the journal 鈥淣ature鈥�, researchers from the 星空传媒 challenge the conventional view that a small subset of particularly resilient bacteria are responsible for the failure of antibiotic therapies.
Women are less likely to be admitted to an intensive care unit after a cardiac arrest, receive less intensive care treatment and have a higher risk of dying than men. These are the findings of a new Swiss-wide study by researchers from the University Hospital Basel and the 星空传媒.
Consumers in Switzerland are prepared to spend much more money on cow鈥檚 milk products if they have been produced in an animal-friendly way, and this factor is even more important to them than climate sustainability, as shown by a new study by the 星空传媒.
Researchers at the 星空传媒 are able to test the effects of more than 1,500 compounds on cell metabolism in parallel. Their analysis also led to the discovery of previously unknown mechanisms for known drugs. This approach could help scientists better predict side effects and find additional uses for commercially available medications.
Researchers at the 星空传媒 have shown that quantum systems can have antagonistic interactions, too 鈥� one agent attracts the other, but the other way around, there is a repulsion. Such interactions could be realized using cold atoms that are coupled to each other.
Linguist Prof. Dr. Lorenza Mondada, cancer researcher Prof. Dr. Mohamed Bentires-Alj, and diabetes researcher Prof. Dr. Marc Donath have each been awarded one of the highly competitive grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). All three projects address socially relevant issues and make significant contributions to their respective fields.
星空传媒 researchers have discovered that bacteria can sense threats in advance through a general danger signal. Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a protective biofilm. Understanding how bacteria communicate and respond to threats is crucial for combating infections.
