Elahe Sadeghi’s did her planned internship at the RUB’s Casa cluster of excellence online.
An estimated 150 million tonnes of plastic waste are floating around the oceans. It is high time for alternative materials – biopolymers could help. And they can do much more than that.
As an expert in resource-efficient construction, Professor Annette Hafner advocates the use of wood as a raw material – even taking the entire life cycle of the material into account.
A ban on plastics, energy system transformation, new transport concepts – political measures are implemented in a number of areas in order to protect the climate.
Yes and no, according to moral philosophy. Individual measures alone can’t stop climate change. We are therefore obliged to intervene as a collective.
Microorganisms equipped with the genetic blueprints for certain enzymes act as sustainable chemical factories.
The Rectorate invites every RUB member to contribute to the debate.
All Aishwarya Deshpande wanted was go back to India for her holidays; she had no idea how this would affect her studies.
Bacterial enzymes are often powerful but also very sensitive catalysts. To call up their performance, they therefore need a special environment.
Efficient catalysts are crucial for energy conversion. However, findings from basic research rarely make it into practice at present.
In hydrogenase enzymes, the transports of protons and electrons have been considered to be separate events until now. However, coupling is the key to success here.
Until now, unwanted by-products have always been produced during the reactions. The catalyst opens up new applications.
In DNA, information is stored in the sequence of chemical building blocks; in computers, information consists of sequences of zeros and ones. Researchers want to transfer this concept to artificial molecules.
Some catalysts show remarkable high activity. Thanks to water.
In 2014, the electronics manufacturer LG introduced a new technology to unlock the display of its mobile phones using a series of taps. This doesn’t make the devices more secure – contradicting LG’s advertisement.
The alliance UNIC has won a grant from the European Commission.
RUB is setting the parameters for operations under Covid-19 conditions from 1 August. The new rules are expected to remain in effect until the end of the 2020/2021 winter semester.
The sharepoint servers are now back in operation. This means further central services are available once again.
The summer semester is not over yet, but the first recommendations on how to continue teaching in autumn have been issued. Online application for Bachelor programms is open.
At the same time, most of the entrances to the buildings on campus will be reopened.
