Even though mathematically verifiable secure encryption algorithms do exist, in practice attackers manage to hijack data on a regular basis. This is because encryption doesn’t happen merely in theory.
Researchers recommend better integration of argumentation skills in teacher training.
Attackers have the ability not only to manipulate software, but also to tamper with the hardware. A team from Bochum is devising methods to detect such tampering.
The potential for energy and material savings offered by additive manufacturing compared to conventional processes is enormous. But the devil is in the details.
A combination of photochemistry and mechanochemistry saves 98 per cent solvent and 80 per cent energy in a number of reactions. What’s more, the process takes less time than it does in solution.
It makes a big difference whether someone perceives a test as a challenge or a threat. Examiners can have an influence on this.
Researchers have clarified the molecular structure of an enzyme class, enabling them to use bacteria to produce prodrugs.
Drones shouldn’t be able to fly over airports and should have a unique serial number. In theory.
Animal consciousness should not be thought of as a light switch, which can be on or off, Bochum philosophers say. They advocate a different approach.
A new experiment has made it possible to observe the effects of an electron in solution on the surrounding liquid.
Artificial intelligence and infrared imaging automatically classify tumours and are faster than previous methods.
Terahertz spectroscopy maps spontaneous formation of protein-rich droplets that may lead to neurodegenerative diseases.
A certain surface protein is crucial to allow the hepatitis E virus to enter cells. Medication can suppress it.
The body reacts differently to online than to face-to-face teaching. Bochum researchers show just what is required of digital formats in order to compete with face-to-face formats.
Certain biomolecules temporarily assemble in cells to form active complexes. This can be crucial for their functionality.
The pathogens reach German hospitals with refugees and war casualties. Researchers recommend precautionary screening for hospitals.
Light can trigger a signalling cascade in the cerebellum. This also illuminates processes that play an important role in cerebellar diseases.
Some autoimmune diseases attack the nerves in the arms and legs. Bochum-based researchers are pursuing a new approach to counteracting this damage.
Old Yellow Enzymes have been known for almost 100 years, but their function in organisms has remained largely in the dark. A Bochum-based research team published first findings on microalgae.
Novel methods enable us to produce countless new materials in one step and to analyse them promptly.
