The perfect form factor doesn’t exist and it never will. It’s true, these devices look better and do more than they used to. The high-end multi-function cell phone has more processing power these days ...
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research (MPIPZ) and the University of Cologne, Germany, have discovered a novel biochemical mechanism explaining how immune proteins defend ...
Sean Gallagher, who began his career as an IT project manager for the Navy, has spent two decades as a technology writer and reviewer. Many applications demand horsepower beyond that which the typical ...
The computational neuroscientist Professor Alexander Ecker from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPIDS) has received a Starting Grant from ...
