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 ...

Getting a grip on pointless antibiotics prescriptions
Bern (ots) - Patients often push their doctors to prescribe antibiotics unnecessarily, increasing bacterial resistance. More trust in patients could help here. 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. ...
