Intracerebral prion infection led to axonal transport impairments in 45 per cent of neurons in the red nucleus and up to 94 per cent of motor cortex neurons, according to a study by researchers of the University of Würzburg, published in PLoS Pathogens.

It is a well-known fact that organic solar cells can convert light into electricity. What has been puzzling scientists – at least from a physicist’s point of view – is how exactly this is done. Researchers at the University of Würzburg have now succeeded in clarifying the process. A report on their work has been published in the scientific journal “Physical Review Letter”.

Small satellites are an exciting option for space projects because their launch costs are low. Before using them for Earth observation or other tasks, however, there are still technical challenges to be met. This is what scientists of the University of Würzburg are currently concerned with.
