…ough the accounts of ancient and mediaeval authors and up-to-date reports from local informants, who were not always reliable. The images they provided were reproduced in large numbers, which often did not contribute to the evolution of science but, on the contrary, strengthened errors and misunderstandings,” Prof. Jurkowlaniec said.   As an example, the researcher cites an excerpt from Julius Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic War. The narrative…

…ess of quantum leads to fascinating and technologically useful effects such as magnetism or superconductivity,” says Prof. Gull from the University of Michigan. “We find such materials in hospital MRIs, sensors, high-voltage DC transmission lines, and electric car batteries.”     In his research project, Prof Gull will combine existing and develop new methods, building on techniques from quantum field theory, condensed matter theory, quantum Monte…

…fferent experimentally reported mutants, unravelling the effects of mutations on the riboswitch activity that cannot be determined solely through experiments,” Prof. Trylska added.   Against bacterial cells The methodology and tools developed by the scientists can facilitate the drug design process by helping to select the most promising molecule-riboswitch pairs for further experimental validation. The results of the research carried out by the s…

…opular in medieval Dongolia. Cotton – exported even from India – was only dyed when it was delivered to Egypt.   “The research we are doing now indicates that blue was an important colour. It has a long history in the Nile Valley, dating back to antiquity. Perhaps it was thought to serve as a protection against evil,” Dr Woźniak says, adding, “Sometimes clothes made of undyed cotton were patched with blue-dyed fabrics, which means that this materi…
