The brain responds less to money gained from immoral actions than money earned decently, reveals a new UCL-led study.
The research, published in Nature Neuroscience and funded by Wellcome, helps explain why most people are reluctant to seek illicit gains by identifying a neural process that dampens the appeal of profiting at other people’s expense. (more…)
Die SPD will sich nicht von der Kohle lösen
Gibt das Braunkohleland Brandenburg seine Klimaziele auf, stehen auch die nationalen Klimaziele und damit das Pariser Klimaschutzabkommen infrage. Die großen deutschen Umweltverbände fordern daher den SPD-Vorsitzenden und Kanzlerkandidaten Martin Schulz auf, entsprechende Pläne von SPD-Landeswirtschaftsminister Gerber zu stoppen. (more…)
Previously thought to only occur in the early stages of the universe and within neutron stars and black holes
ZURICH: An international team of physicists, materials scientists and string theoreticians have observed a phenomenon on Earth that was previously thought to only occur hundreds of light years away or at the time when the universe was born. This result could lead to a more evidence-based model for the understanding the universe and for improving the energy-conversion process in electronic devices. (more…)
Freiburger Forscher zeigen, wie ein Protein die unkontrollierte Ausbreitung von Abwehrzellen verhindert
Das menschliche Immunsystem besteht aus Millionen von einzelnen Zellen, die täglich im Knochenmark aus Vorläuferzellen produziert werden. Während ihrer Entwicklung expandieren die Immunzellen und differenzieren sich dann zu reifen Lymphozyten – Abwehrzellen, die Fremdstoffe erkennen und beseitigen. (more…)
California Energy Commission awards $2.7 million to Berkeley Lab for two geothermal projects
Geothermal energy, a clean, renewable source of energy produced by the heat of the earth, provides about 6 percent of California’s total power. That number could be much higher if associated costs were lower. Now scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have launched two California Energy Commission-funded projects aimed at making geothermal energy more cost-effective to deploy and operate.

The mountain pine beetle has destroyed more than 40 million acres of forest in the western United States. That amounts to an area the size of Washington state that is strewn with conifers left for dead. (more…)
Mississippi-Alligatoren produzieren laute, tief klingende Rufe, sogenannte “Bellows”. KognitionsbiologInnen der Universität Wien um Stephan Reber und Tecumseh Fitch haben deren Frequenzen analysiert und herausgefunden, dass die Tiere ihren Artgenossen akustische Indikatoren zur Körpergröße übermitteln. Damit können die Reptilien aussichtslose Kämpfe um PartnerInnen und Territorien vermeiden. Die Ergebnisse der Studie erscheinen aktuell in “Scientific Reports”. (more…)
