Artificial Enzyme Splits Water
Progress has been made on the path to sunlight-driven production of hydrogen
05-Oct-2022
Chemists from Würzburg present a new enzyme-like molecular catalyst for water oxidation. Mankind is facing a central challenge: it must manage the transition to a sustainable and carbon dioxide-neutral energy economy. Hydrogen is considered a promising alternative to fossil fuels. It can be ...
Three Eyes See More than Two - monitoring a catalytic reaction with three different microscopies under exactly the same conditions in real time
Information is obtained that none of the methods alone could reveal
30-Sep-2022
One has to look very closely to exactly understand what processes take place on the surfaces of catalysts. Solid catalysts are often finely structured materials made of tiny crystals. There are various microscopies to monitor chemical processes on such surfaces – they use, for example, ...
Structure of wheat immune protein resolved
Important tool in the battle for food security
29-Sep-2022
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research and the University of Cologne in Germany together with colleagues from China have unravelled how wheat protects itself from a deadly pathogen. Their findings, published in the journal Nature, could be harnessed to make important ...
Plastics of the future will live many past lives, thanks to chemical recycling
One day in the not-too-distant future, the plastics in our satellites, cars and electronics may all be living their second, 25th or 250th lives
28-Sep-2022
New research from the University of Colorado Boulder, published in Nature Chemistry, details how a class of durable plastics widely used in the aerospace and microelectronics industries can be chemically broken down into their most basic building blocks and then formed once again into the same ...
Fighting fungal infections with metals
“If we exploit the full potential of the periodic table, we may be able to prevent a future where we don’t have any effective antibiotics and active agents to prevent and treat fungal infections”
27-Sep-2022
An international collaboration led by researchers from the University of Bern and the University of Queensland in Australia has demonstrated that chemical compounds containing special metals are highly effective in fighting dangerous fungal infections. These results could be used to develop ...
The predictive power of blood: metabolomic profiling reveals risk of multiple diseases all at once
Striving for early risk identification and preventive action
26-Sep-2022
To prevent diseases from occurring in the first place, it is important to identify those individuals who are at particularly high risk as early as possible. Yet current screening methods are often costly and focus only on one disease at a time. Scientists from the Berlin Institute of Health at ...
Killer cells get better with age
The T cells of older patients could be of particular value in cancer immunotherapy
23-Sep-2022
The human immune system is a thing of wonder. Up until now it had been widely assumed that the ability of killer T cells to destroy tumour cells and pathogens would deteriorate with age. It turns out, however, that the opposite is true – they become better killers, the older they get. This ...
Researchers show that chiral oxide catalysts align electron spin
Researchers from Münster and Pittsburgh look for causes of spin polarisation in these materials
23-Sep-2022
Controlling the spin of electrons opens up future scenarios for applications in spin-based electronics (spintronics), for example in data processing. It also presents new opportunities for controlling the selectivity and efficiency of chemical reactions. Researchers recently presented first ...
Fish to help in search for MS drugs
Study follows an innovative path in the search for new active substances
22-Sep-2022
The zebrafish serves as a model organism for researchers around the world: it can be used to study important physiological processes that also take place in a similar form in the human body. It is therefore routinely used in the search for possible active substances against diseases. Researchers ...
Moss repair team also works in humans
"If we could correct faulty sites in the genetic code with RNA editing methods, this would potentially also offer starting points for the treatment of hereditary diseases"
21-Sep-2022
If everything is to run smoothly in living cells, the genetic information must be correct. But unfortunately, errors in the DNA accumulate over time due to mutations. Land plants have developed a peculiar correction mode: they do not directly improve the errors in the genome, but rather ...
q&more – the networking platform for quality excellence in lab and process
The q&more concept is to increase the visibility of recent research and innovative solutions, and support the exchange of knowledge. In the broad spectrum of subjects covered, the focus is on achieving maximum quality in highly innovative sectors. As a modern knowledge platform, q&more offers market participants one-of-a-kind networking opportunities. Cutting-edge research is presented by authors of international repute. Attractively presented in a high-quality context, and published in German and English, the original articles introduce new concepts and highlight unconventional solution strategies.
