The project team intends to gain a better understanding of loneliness in Europe and develop recommendations for effective measures against loneliness.
Using ammonia is regarded as a promising method of transporting hydrogen. However, an efficient process is also needed to convert it back into hydrogen and nitrogen.
Many areas in North Rhine-Westphalia are paved over by impervious surfaces such as roads, housing estates and industrial sites. While this is obvious from aerial photographs, it is difficult to analyze.
A serotonin specific receptor can determine how important visual stimuli are perceived. This explains the effects of certain drugs and could help in understanding psychiatric diseases.
People who reduce their screen time on by merely one hour a day improve both their well-being and their motivation at work.
It takes a lot of helpers to build up the protein complexes required for photosynthesis and to constantly repair them in strong light.
An international research team has decoded the genome of the longest-lived known vertebrate: the Greenland shark. It is huge and has special repair capabilities.
Dislocations have a major impact on the properties of metals. Markus Stricker is trying to get to the bottom of them using simulations.
Lorenzo Grassi wants to revolutionize symmetric encryption in his SYMPZON project.
Letting go of learned fears is difficult. New research findings reveal that the environment in which we learn the fear could also play a crucial role in unlearning it.
In a first, a Bochum-based team has produced a substance capable of sending cancer cells into ferroptosis, that is a specific form of cell death. This could pave the way for the development of new drugs.
Nanotubes can serve as biosensors. They change their fluorescence when they bind to certain molecules. Until now, it was unclear why. Researchers have gained new insights into the cause of the fluorescence.
The brain is constantly storing new experiences that it has to integrate into the jumble of existing memories. Surprisingly, it does not overwrite previous memory traces in the process.
We all know what it’s like when the penny suddenly drops. Animals too experience such moments of insight. They could prove useful for research, according to Ekrem Dere.
Rocks undergo changes over millions of years. Yet it is possible to extract information from them about the climate at the time of their formation.
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.
