Oxygen is the greatest enemy of biocatalysts for energy conversion. A protective film shields them – but only with an additional ingredient: iodide salt.
Electrocatalysts can help to obtain chemicals from renewable raw materials or to use alternative energy sources. But testing new catalysts brings challenges.
Proteins can expel active pharmaceutical ingredients from the target cells. Now we can now watch them as they do it.
A review article summarises everything that researchers know about the lifetime of corona viruses on surfaces and the effect of disinfectants.
Eight universities from post-industrial cities in Europe are joining forces. The alliance aims to help shape inclusive European societies of the future.
Genes associated with Parkinson’s disease point to an interface between the nervous system and immune system. This may lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
A new concept makes it possible to identify the most promising among an abundance of possible element combinations.
Bacteria don’t produce disease-causing substances until they have infected a warm body. To this end, they use a special thermometer. Researchers have now analysed the exact mechanism.
Tiny metal-containing building block might become the core of new drug molecules.
A mutation switches the turbo on during virus replication. This is a blessing for research.
Originally the algorithm was developed for something different. The usage in a technological competition demonstrates its adaptability.
Backed by funding from the European Research Council, Nikolai Axmacher hopes to find out how the brain manages spatial navigation. The results will also be relevant for Alzheimer’s research.
Many years of playing the instrument leave clear traces.
The gut has long been suspected to play a role in autoimmune disease. A research team has now identified evidence of a potential mechanism.
Even after the hundredth time the material returns to its original shape when heated.
Larger parts of the cerebral cortex than thought process tactile stimuli.
Geoscientists can reconstruct the climate of the past by analysing dripstones – and they can also draw up prognoses for the future.
New findings are expected to help protect the hydrogen-producing enzymes from harmful oxygen – which is interesting for biotechnological applications.
Nano columns on the surfaces of implants prevent bacteria from reproducing there. They are grown by a team of material scientists.
Poring over blueprints and searching for manuals might soon become a thing of the past. Augmented Reality could facilitate maintenance and repair work in buildings.
