So far, little is known about the interior of neutron stars, those extremely compact objects that can form after the death of a star: the mass of our sun or even more is compressed into a sphere with the diameter of a large city. Since their discovery more than 60 years ago, scientists have been trying to decipher their structure.

Washington [US], September 28 (ANI): The transition zone between the Earth's upper and lower mantle contains considerable quantities of water, according to an international study. The research team analyzed a rare diamond formed 660 meters below the Earth's surface using techniques including Raman spectroscopy and FTIR spectrometry. The study confirmed something that for a long time was only a theory, namely that ocean water accompanies subducting slabs and thus enters the transition zone. This means that our planet's water cycle includes the Earth's interior.
Frankfurt [Germany], August 5 (ANI): It is commonly known that bats utilise ultrasonic sounds to orient themselves and use the echoes that follow to create an impression of their environment. For instance, echolocation is used by the Seba's short-tailed bat (Carollia perspicillata) to find the fruits that make up its preferred diet. Bats communicate with one another via vocalising as well. They use a significantly narrower band of frequencies for this.
Frankfurt [Germany], August 5 (ANI): The ultrasonic navigation system used by bats is well known: they produce ultrasonic sounds to orient themselves and use the echoes that result to form an image of their surroundings. For instance, the Seba's short-tailed bat (Carollia perspicillata) uses echolocation to locate the fruits that make up its favourite diet. Additionally, bats interact with one another through vocalisations. For this, they employ a slightly smaller spectrum of frequencies.
Cambridge [UK], June 19 (ANI): Imagine a highway with two lanes in each direction. One lane is for slow cars and the other is for fast cars. For electrons moving along a quantum wire, the Cambridge and Frankfurt researchers found that there are also two 'tracks,' but electrons can take both at the same time.
Canterbury [UK], October 29 (ANI): Researchers during a recent study identified a potential new treatment that suppresses the replication of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
