When water is split electrolytically, the result is typically hydrogen – and useless oxygen. Instead of oxygen, you can also produce a useful product. If you know how.
Wanja Wiese explores which conditions must be met for consciousness to exist. At least one of them can’t be found in a computer.
In August, 900 participants will be attending the “Bernoulli-IMS World Congress in Probability and Statistics” on the campus of Ruhr University Bochum.
This new concept could allow the needs of previously separate industries to be combined.
A substance derived from the plant Ardisia crenata works in a different way than existing drugs. And in doing so, it is highly effective.
The sites where vascular aneurysms typically form have a predilection from the outset, even in healthy people. This is shown by a study conducted by medical researchers from Bochum and Bonn.
Oh dear, chemical formulas! With just a few simple tips, students can prevent stress and ruining their grade in a biology test.
A sensor for nitrogen could be hidden behind the extension of an enzyme for the breakdown of starch. If this sensor detects a high level of nitrogen, algal growth switches into turbo mode.
Less waste, mild reaction conditions, and no harmful solvents – only a very thin layer of gold is necessary to sustainably convert alcohols into aldehydes through mechanochemistry.
If the virus incorporates host genetic segments into its genome, the infection may become chronic.
A research team from Bochum has identified a crucial detail that’s essential for the production of hydrogen using biocatalysts.
A surface protein helps viruses to enter cells. This has far-reaching consequences for the infection.
A touch of the button is all it takes to improve the resolution of ultrasound images fivefold. This is down to bubbles floating in the bloodstream and a clever algorithm.
Electromagnetic engines can’t be reduced to just any size. It takes clever engineering tricks to generate active movement in miniature format. Researchers in Bochum are constantly coming up with new technologies.
A study from Bochum describes a mammal-specific domain of the prion protein and offers new approaches for research into neurodegenerative diseases.
The Maya did not strive for individual glory. They achieved top sporting performances primarily to avert the wrath of the gods and the downfall of their culture. The price they paid was often their own life.
Twenty years ago, a drug candidate was rejected due to its side effects. Researchers have now figured out how to potentially make a successor molecule more selective.
A newly identified compound prevents a cellular enzyme from cleaving the virus particle. As a result, the virus can no longer infect cells.
The system is already in use in retirement homes. Researchers from Bochum have tested how effective it is in a scientific study.
Understanding the function of a specific bacterial enzyme has paved the way for the biotechnological degradation of styrene.
