A team of researchers from Bochum evaluated 40 studies conducted over 60 years.
A further important milestone on the path to becoming a University of Excellence.
Is your tax return still not finished and cleaning the house has been put off until next week? Your genes could be to blame. At least for women.
Material libraries, high-throughput experiments, big data, and artificial intelligence are expected to ensure that nothing is left to chance when it comes to new discoveries.
Researchers have made new discoveries about how certain brainwaves aid navigation. They hope that the methods may benefit patients suffering from neurodegenerative disorders one day.
Travellers entering China from Kyrgyzstan have to install an app on their phones, as was unearthed by investigative journalists. IT experts from Bochum have analysed the application’s function.
A plasma tears through the water within a few nanoseconds. It may possibly regenerate catalytic surfaces at the push of a button.
The researcher integrates plant enzymes into sensors and fuel cells.
Plasmas are applied in the treatment of wounds to combat pathogens that are resistant against antibiotics. But bacteria know how to defend themselves.
Precious metals are often efficient catalysts. But they are expensive and rare. However, it has so far been difficult to determine how efficient non-precious metal alternatives are.
Certain membrane proteins specialise in transporting molecules out of cells – a problem for the efficacy of cancer medication and antibiotics.
Solvated acids tend to release a proton. However, they display more complex behaviour under space conditions.
Why it is risky to use an online universe as an escape from stress.
Both individual nerve cells and large neuronal assemblies appear to be relevant for spatial navigation. But what’s the relationship between both?
Precious metal nanoparticles of platinum and gold are excellent catalysts. But they are expensive and rare. This new method makes it possible to save material.
“The theoretical possibilities seem almost too good to be true,” says researcher Tobias Löffler.
Two major studies with promising antibodies have recently failed – possibly because they have been administered too late. A new very early-detection test gives rise to hope.
Since they are so tiny, it is difficult to investigate single nanoparticles. However, this is exactly what researchers are aiming for in order to tailor their properties. A novel approach: particle at the stick.
The causes of the disease are for the most part obscure. Researchers intend to expose them using cerebral organoids grown from stem cells.
Nothing immediately evokes memories like odours. Two neuroscientists have examined why olfaction plays a special role in memory.
