Nanomaterials have excellent properties. Products that make use of these achieve better performance than previous ones and, in some cases, also open up new possibilities. However, manufacturing such products is difficult because nanomaterials are typically very small, which can make it difficult to control their positioning. Particularly in the mechanical dry transfer process, where nanomaterials are placed purely mechanically and without ...

Increasing biophysical disturbances under climate change have severe impacts on forest ecosystems. Recent large-scale calamities in Central Europe have underlined how extreme weather events challenge our understanding of mechanisms behind forest resistance to disturbances. Large, spatially correlated disturbances also lead to high economic losses for forest enterprises, resulting in a lack of resources for financing reforestation and ...

Homeostasis, a critical physiological process, enables living organisms to sustain stable internal environments, thereby ensuring their survival and optimal functioning amidst fluctuating external conditions. At its core, this dynamic equilibrium is crucially governed by the immune system, which deploys an extensive array of cellular and molecular entities to safeguard the organism from pathogenic threats, while concurrently maintaining ...
