Nature-based solutions for flood protection require space, patience and courage. But it’s worth it.
Julia Bandow, Professor for Applied Microbiology, discusses the future use of plasmas in biological applications.
Researchers calculate in minute detail the processes in plasmas and at the interfaces between plasmas and surfaces. This is how they hope to understand the processes involved and make better use of them in the future.
Uwe Czarnetzki from the Chair of Experimental Physics explains what plasmas can already do and what they are likely to facilitate in the future.
In the University Forum, UFO for short, vaccinations without appointment are again possible on 26 and 27 August 2021.
A spherical probe allows the electron density in plasmas to be continuously monitored and, consequently, kept constant.
Thomas Mussenbrock explains how computer simulations of plasmas can aid the production of smaller and more powerful processors and memories in the future.
Generating a plasma is not that difficult. Therefore, there are countless different plasma sources in the world. As far as research is concerned, this is a problem.
The pandemic is stretching us all to our limits. However, employees with care responsibilities are under particular pressure. RUB offers a variety of consultation and support services to assist them.
The Bochum vaccination centre has set up special services for students.
Andrew Gibson from the Research Group for Biomedical Plasma Technology explains, what will be crucial to translate emerging approaches such as plasma-based cancer therapy, into clinical practice.
A great many everyday technologies would not exist without plasmas. The teams of the Collaborative Research Centres want to share knowledge about their relevance with the public.
Plasmas in liquids have long been used in water purification and wound treatment. Now, they are to improve the efficiency and service life of an electrolysis cell used for C02 conversion.
Cold plasmas and plasma catalytic processes could be used to purify and treat metallurgical gases in the steel industry.
New research identifies regions of greatest climate-driven river flood risk to human lives and food production globally, calling for urgent acceleration of investment in nature-based adaptation plans.
A new technique facilitates something that Moritz Oberberg compares to looking inside an egg while it’s cooking.
Plasmas usually have destructive effects on enzymes. Here, they supply an enzyme with a building block for biocatalysis at the push of a button.
The smaller a plasma, the larger the experimental setup needed to study it. It is worth the effort, because the reaction conditions found in cubic-millimetre-sized plasmas are very much unique.
The distinguished expert on dark matter has thus been awarded a very special honorary title.
And other plans and secrets of the future Rector at Ruhr-Universität.
