Combined efforts of experiment and simulation pave the way to new applications.
Researchers from Basel and Bochum have realised a key element of quantum communication at the edge of the visible spectrum. So far, that was only possible in the near-infrared range.
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. An increased intraocular pressure is the main risk factor. But there are other triggers.
In the 1950s and 1960s, women went to extreme lengths to fight against the desegregation of schools and other public spaces. An as yet neglected chapter in the history of racism.
Their jellyfish-like appearance gives this special class of galaxies their name. Much about what happens in their gas tail hasn’t yet been fully understood. A German-Italian team has gained new insights.
The RUB research team intends to use proteomics to accelerate the development of new drugs.
In Germany, the limit values for nitrate pollution have repeatedly been exceeded, partly due to fertilisers in the soil. Biopolymers could help.
From microorganisms to humans – all living organisms with a cell nucleus possess the Stripak signal-protein complex. A research team has gained new insights into its functions.
A research team genetically eliminated an unnecessary energy consumer. This means that less light is sufficient for catalysis.
If wood were to become more widely used as a building material, the climate could benefit significantly. A novel tool shows to what extent this would be the case in individual residential areas.
Some highly selective drugs cause unexpected effects in nerve cells: they not only reduce the activation of certain receptors, but also their inactivation.
A research team clears up 150 years of false assumptions.
Sports scientists have identified typical injury patterns. These findings help develop preventive measures.
Being born too soon can have long-term consequences for children’s school success.
For the first time, a research team examined pigeon brains using functional magnetic resonance imaging while the birds were actively involved in a discrimination task.
Yes and no, according to moral philosophy. Individual measures alone can’t stop climate change. We are therefore obliged to intervene as a collective.
Leaving oil behind and moving towards renewable raw materials: the chemical industry hopes to succeed in this with the help of microorganisms and enzymes.
Therapy and diagnostics of tumours in only one step is possible with the aid of so-called theranostic agents. A concept for a new one has been implemented at RUB.
Critically ill patients present a similar or even stronger immunity against the virus than convalescent patients. This supports the theory that severe infections might be linked to an exaggerated immune reaction.
To unmask their impairments, researchers had to come up with a unique experimental design.
