A new type of wave discovered in Lake Geneva

Bern (ots) - Every summer, a special wave travels around Lake Geneva. The phenomenon has only been discovered now, even though the currents are among the strongest in the lake and influence biogeochemical cycles in the nearshore zones. Those going for a swim in Lake Geneva have no idea what is going on under their feet. Waves do not only form on the lake surface. Wave-like currents - known as internal waves - also flow ...

This is the surprising outcome of a study supported by the SNSF. Five million people die each year from bacterial infections because the pathogens are resistant to anti-biotics. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), this figure will double by 2050. ...

This is probably because of increased consumption. Whether as a savoury snack or disguised in gluten-free flour and vegan milk, cashew nuts, which originally come from Brazil, are very much in demand. They are rich in protein but contain less fat and ...

What if we had a third arm?

Bern (ots) - According to a recent study, the brain can adapt to an artificial third arm and use it for simple tasks. This keeps alive the dream of precision mechanics and surgeons deftly using a third arm sometime in the future. About 20 study participants are learning to use an artificial arm in a laboratory setting. The rudimentary limb, equipped with a clamp at its end, is fixed to a table next to the participants who, while seated, control it using a belt placed on the ...
