When a chemical substance dissolves, much more happens than we have suspected so far. Research groups at Ruhr University want to find out exactly what this is.
This new concept could allow the needs of previously separate industries to be combined.
The nanosensors can be used to track reactions with invisible light, saving materials and time.
Sustainability and the planned application in the current Excellence Strategy characterised the outlook for the coming year at the New Year's reception of the Cluster of Excellence of the University Alliance Ruhr.
The International Society for Optics and Photonics honors the Bochum-based researcher for her pioneering contributions to the development of ultrafast high-power lasers and laser-driven terahertz sources.
The award, presented by Business Metropole Ruhr, is dedicated to individuals who have significantly impacted the region.
The researcher receives the prize for achievements in the development of high-power laser-driven Terahertz sources.
Originally developed for research applications, the technology is also of interest to industry. Clara Saraceno plans to bring a new kind of laser to the market with a grant from the European Research Council.
The new sensor design resembles a molecular toolbox that can be used to quickly assemble sensors for a variety of purposes.
The new device will benefit the work of more than 100 researchers at Ruhr University Bochum.
A new experiment has made it possible to observe the effects of an electron in solution on the surrounding liquid.
Terahertz spectroscopy maps spontaneous formation of protein-rich droplets that may lead to neurodegenerative diseases.
A genetic modification can make hydrogen-producing enzymes more stable.
The reaction principle requires no expensive and toxic metals. In addition, it enables the production and subsequent transformation of a chemical reagent that was previously only known as an unstable, fleeting species.
The shape of nanoparticles is a decisive factor in their efficiency as catalysts for the production of green hydrogen.
What a toy: a tiny gyroscope that would fit in a human cell and that can be controlled from the outside.
A new method can measure the electrical (re-)charging of boundary layers between very small, metallic particles and aqueous solutions and understand it at a molecular level.
When charged particles enter the boundary layer between a liquid and an electrode, they first have to strip off their water shells.
Researchers have developed a strategy to use supercomputers to tackle the threat of diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
When less than two nanometers of space is available, there is a traffic jam in the proton transport network.
Optimising electrochemical processes is one of the challenges in developing technologies for renewable energies. New research findings could provide assistance here.
