Pancreatic organoids on newly developed chip platform
29-Jul-2021
A new organoid-on-chip platform robustly mimics the key features of human pancreas development. This is a milestone on the way to being able to diagnose pancreatic cancer at an early stage in the future. The study was conducted by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from Helmholtz Zentrum ...
The memory of folds
What happens when soft materials are compressed strongly?
28-Jul-2021
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamic and Self-Organization, the University of Twente and Cornell University now revealed the morphology of creases created upon folding at micrometer scale. They revealed a dual folding mechanism driven by capillary forces, similar to wetting ...
Artificial intelligence: Swarm learning decodes biomolecules
28-Jul-2021
They are often referred to as the "building blocks of life": Biomolecules. To understand and use their function in the body, one must know their structure. A complex and sometimes imprecise matter. This is where the new method developed at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) together with ...
New US and German collaboration aims to produce green hydrogen more efficiently
NSF-DFG EChem Award Announcement
27-Jul-2021
Through a new award program, the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) have joined forces to award the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Technical University of Darmstadt a three-year $720,000 research grant ($500,000 ...
Eco-friendly plastic from cellulose and water
Researchers create new kind of environmentally friendly bioplastic with hydroplastic polymers
26-Jul-2021
Plastics offer many benefits to society and are widely used in our daily life: they are lightweight, cheap and adaptable. However, the production, processing and disposal of plastics are simply not sustainable, and pose a major global threat to the environment and human health. Eco-friendly ...
Silicon with a Two-Dimensional Structure
Chemists succeed in producing synthesis and complete characterisation for the first time
26-Jul-2021
Silicon, a semi-metal, bonds in its natural form with four other elements and its three-dimensional structure takes the form of a tetrahedron. For a long time, it seemed impossible to achieve the synthesis and characterisation of a two-dimensional equivalent – geometrically speaking, a square. ...
Revealing the secrets of cell competition
Which features distinguish “winner” from “loser” cells
23-Jul-2021
Cellular competition is a crucial quality control process that ensures that the development of an organism relies on healthy cells. Researchers revealed the secrets underlying cell competition and what features can pre-determine whether a cell will survive or not. Defects in energy production are ...
SARS-CoV-2: Achilles’ heel of viral RNA
Several small molecules identified that bind to certain areas of the SARS-CoV-2 genome that are almost never altered by mutations
22-Jul-2021
Certain regions of the SARS-CoV-2 genome might be a suitable target for future drugs. This is what researchers at Goethe University, together with their collaborators in the international COVID-19-NMR consortium, have now discovered. With the help of dedicated substance libraries, they have ...
Pathogenic fungi colonise microplastics in soils
Possible cause of an increase in fungal infections?
21-Jul-2021
Representatives of numerous pathogenic fungal species are finding new habitat on microplastic particles in the soil and could thus be one of the possible causes of an increase in fungal infections. Researchers from Bayreuth, Hannover and Munich demonstrated this in a new study. Using ...
At Last: Separated and Freshly Bound
Amidation of light alkanes
21-Jul-2021
The carbon–hydrogen bonds in alkanes—particularly those at the ends of the molecules, where each carbon has three hydrogen atoms bound to it—are very hard to “crack” if you want to replace the hydrogen atoms with other atoms. Methane (CH4) and ethane (CH3CH3) are made up, exclusively, of such ...
q&more – the networking platform for quality excellence in lab and process
