Although water is omnipresent, the interaction between individual water molecules is not yet fully understood.
So far, development has been mainly based on a trial-and-error approach. But a novel method might help save a lot of time.
What is the capital city of Tajikistan? When did Einstein create his famous theory of relativity? And when did Goethe die? Some people seem to have an answer to every general knowledge question. Why?
Unlike metallic magnets, magnets consisting of organic molecules could be lightweight, transparent, flexible or liquid. Normally, however, they are unstable.
A team of researchers from Bochum has investigated the function of a protein, the malfunction of which leads to cancer.
The heart of the biological catalyst is only introduced during the last step. The process is complex.
High-profile victims include the corporations Thyssen-Krupp and Bayer. In collaboration with researchers from Bochum, the broadcasting companies Bayerischer Rundfunk and NDR have now exposed “Winnti’s” tactics.
For decades, researchers have been debating over which of two mechanisms deactivates switch proteins. Now, a third scenario has emerged.
Everyone else is better than me. That’s the impression you get when you look at profiles on social networks.
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.
