A top superbike reignites debate over #Chinese #innovation
"innovation activities in #China r still dominated by incremental innovation.. while #basicresearch-based radical innovat'n activities remain insufficient.. ZXMOTO’s 820RR shows high-performance #engineering need not require premium pricing. Though these aren't “zero to one” breakthroughs, they represent an impactful & #practical form of innovation: one tt lowers costs, expands #access & reshapes markets fr w'in"👍

@sflorg #Structuralbiology is an important #basicresearch direction that aims to gain information about dynamics and interactions of #biological molecules. This research relies on high-tech, including #cryoelectronmicroscopy (EM), nuclear magnetic resonance (#NMR) spectroscopy, and X-ray #crystallography. Goals are a better understanding and e.g. the creation of #molecular #dynamicssimulations.

Structural Biology

How do molecular machines work, interact and harmonize their activities to give rise to a fully functional cell? How are these processes regulated and how are they compromised in human disease? The Structural Biology Research Centre aims at answering these questions by gaining precise knowledge of the structure of macromolecules and macromolecular complexes, which is essential to understand how they function.

GSI/FAIR and #THM are joining forces for cancer treatment! 🤝 Together, we are advancing #ParticleTherapy at MIT Marburg and worldwide.

Our focus: #FLASHRadiotherapy ⚡ (high radiation doses delivered in milliseconds). We are investigating the underlying #Radiochemistry and new application techniques to translate this approach from #BasicResearch into clinical use.

Collaboration in research and application of particle therapy – THM and GSI/FAIR sign agreement

The Technical University of Applied Sciences Mittelhessen (THM) and GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt intend to collaborate more closely in the field of particle therapy. A corresponding collaboration agreement was recently signed by both partners. The goal is to improve particle therapy both for the Marburg Ion Beam Therapy Center (MIT) and centers worldwide, as well as to support translational and basic research like it is conducted at the GSI/FAIR accelerator facilities.

A "pan that communicates with the stove via Bluetooth"? - What would they talk about? - Gossip about me cooking?

🥘 #BasicResearch and industry are working together to cook up innovation. The example of Kuhn Rikon shows that materials science is central to enabling pan manufacturers to maintain and improve their production.

Without #BasicResearch, there would be no #innovation – including at Planted.
Planted's meat alternatives are in high demand. But without prior research, there would be no vegan ‘meat’ today, nor companies producing it, such as that of co-founder Lukas Böni.
