A new technique facilitates something that Moritz Oberberg compares to looking inside an egg while it’s cooking.
Plasmas usually have destructive effects on enzymes. Here, they supply an enzyme with a building block for biocatalysis at the push of a button.
The smaller a plasma, the larger the experimental setup needed to study it. It is worth the effort, because the reaction conditions found in cubic-millimetre-sized plasmas are very much unique.
The distinguished expert on dark matter has thus been awarded a very special honorary title.
And other plans and secrets of the future Rector at Ruhr-Universität.
The world’s leading student top class sports competition is coming to the Rhine-Ruhr region. Bochum will be a host city of the World University Games 2025.

The rule of law is at stake in the case of Dr. Ahmadreza Djalali, a researcher sentenced to death in Iran. The Rector has signed a letter of protest on behalf of RUB.
Fracturing rock using fluids and high pressure regularly triggers earthquakes. The exact causes are still poorly understood.
CO2 can be converted electrochemically into starting materials for industry. So far, however, catalysts that are stable over a long period of time have been lacking. A few tricks could solve the problem.
Lectures will start on 12 April 2021 and will be almost exclusively online.
