Gravity causes homogeneity of the universe

EPFL spin-off Hydromea has developed a miniature optical modem that can operate down to 6,000 meters below the ocean's surface. It is sensitive enough to collect data at very high speeds from sources more than 50 meters away.

Scientists have gained a fundamental understanding of a highly promising material that could be suited to future data storage applications.

A team of University of Queensland researchers has revealed why male funnel web spiders develop much deadlier venom than their female counterparts.

International research team led by Göttingen University shows patterned vegetation regenerates by -ecosystem engineering- of the grasses.

Fibre-optic cables are emerging as a valuable tool for geoscientists and glaciologists. They offer a relatively inexpensive way of measuring even the tiniest glacial earthquakes - plus they can also be used to obtain more accurate images of the geological subsurface in earthquake-prone megacities.

The trade-off between gleaners and exploiters does not explain the diversity of biological species in the way that scientists expected. Our understanding of biodiversity has to change.
