Long distance transport in plants occurs in sieve tubes of the phloem. The pressure flow hypothesis introduced by Ernst Münch in 1930 describes a mechanism of osmotically generated pressure differentials that are supposed to drive the movement of sugars and other solutes in the phloem, but this hypothesis has long faced major challenges. The key... Read more
In which way have the demands on QC in the automotive industry changed with the development of new materials? Ruiz Balbas: Sustainability is the must in all areas of the automotive industry. This means we are now dealing with Non-CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutant and Reproductive) products with higher physic-chemical properties and at the same time going... Read more
By combining optical and electrical simulation with high-pressure freezing it is now possible to capture fast cellular dynamics with millisecond precision. In a webinar on March 29 Dr. Shigeki Watanabe and Dr. Frédéric Leroux will present results of recent studies that demonstrate how this new method can help to resolve controversial questions in neurobiology. The... Read more
