Humans do forget – annoying though important for human’s mental health. The Internet is another story. So far.
More than 40 million euros have been invested into the Solvation Science research programme, in which RUB is involved together with its partners. This marks the beginning of a new era for the Excellence Cluster.
Damaged fibres in the brain or spinal cord usually don’t heal at all. Neuroscientists from Bochum have high hopes for new methods based on gene therapy.
Rector Axel Schölmerich talks about RUB’s outlook for 2019 in a video clip.
Photosynthetic complex I is a key element in photosynthetic electron transport, but little has been known about it so far.
RUB is competing for the title “University of Excellence” with the concept Creating Knowledge Networks.
The RUB’s concept for the Excellence Strategy is based on knowledge networks. What does this mean in practice?
Certain molecules with fluorine, chlorine or bromine, together with water, can release harmful substances into the atmosphere.
The new system to produce certain nitrogen compounds could make the manufacture of medicines and pesticides more efficient.
More than 4,000 international students are currently enrolled at RUB; the Student Advice Centre helps them identify potential funding options.
The solvation process is of fundamental importance for chemistry – but is very difficult to observe.
Researchers have combined two concepts that make the system as efficient as precious metal catalysts.
New findings pave the way for chemical reproduction of hydrogen-producing enzymes.
In catalysis, nature is sometimes more efficient than artificial systems. Researchers have copied one of the tricks.
Mountains extend not only upwards, but also downwards into the earth. Researchers use earthquakes to gain an idea of this.
Large volumes of century-old carbon are stored in forest soils. It should better stay there.
Engineers who have a better understanding of the wear and fracture of tools used in subterranean tunnel construction factories will be able to prolong it and render the construction of the tunnel more efficient.
Lights out, doors open, online orders out: in a networked home, everything is controlled by voice or by pressing a smartphone button. But so far little thought has been given to who should be able to press which buttons.
Several salt mummies have been unearthed in an old mine in Iran. Some of them originated before the birth of Christ. Who were they? And how had they lived?
Chemical molecules that behave like images and mirror images interact differently with other molecules. A new project is set to reveal more about their differences.
