A sensor identifies misfolded protein biomarkers in the blood. This offers a chance to detect Alzheimer's disease before any symptoms occur. Researchers intend to bring it to market maturity.
The biomolecule that is damaged by the disease diphtheria is also found in plants. And it can be influenced by environmental stress.
Water fleas are only a few millimetres in size. But they do have a whole arsenal of defences – even against aggressive plants.
The spatial structure of RNA molecules is crucial for their function. But predicting it is a challenge.
Researchers reviewed 42 apps and found privacy and security deficiencies, some of which were quite serious. Some apps even sell their users’ data to third parties.
This means that encryption methods developed in Bochum, which even quantum computers cannot crack, will become standard in the USA.
A study shows: the expansion of the natural gas infrastructure jeopardises energy transition.
A research team at RUB has discovered the mechanisms by which the coronavirus attacks the heart – and how it could be stopped.
Rocaglates from mahogany plants raise hopes for the development of an antiviral drug.
Calpains cut proteins into harmful fragments. The process can be stopped in a cell model.
Multiple sclerosis causes nerve cells to lose their insulating layer. Researchers from Bochum are looking for approaches to stimulate regeneration processes. They have identified two relevant proteins.
Up to now, protecting hardware against manipulation has been a laborious business: expensive, and only possible on a small scale. And yet, two simple antennas might do the trick.
Plesiosaurs are characterized by four uniform flippers. It was possible to reconstruct whether they used these in a rowing or flying motion underwater thanks to a combination of paleontological and engineering methods.
High-resolution microscopy now enabled an international research team to enlarge the knowledge about species-specific differences of the architecture of cortical neurons.
Carbon nanotubes glow brighter in the presence of neurotransmitters. This facilitates the easy and accurate measurement of signals between nerve cells.
Wirelessly functioning devices are omnipresent in our households. However, wireless communication endangers our privacy: Passive eavesdroppers are able to obtain sensitive data through intercepted high-frequency signals.
International researchers supply recommendations for urban planning.
People who practice intensive meditation report memories of states in which their sense of self dissolves. Is this at all possible?
A comparative study alleviates maternal concerns.
Copper and silver are known for their antibacterial properties. Researchers from Bochum have explored their effectiveness against viruses.
