Taking Microbes Out of Dark and Into the Light
Research Alliance Develops New Methods for Screening and Cultivating Biotechnologically Promising Microorganisms
03-Jan-2022
Microorganisms are the oldest, most abundant, and most diverse life forms on earth and offer enormous potential for biotechnological applications. To date, however, only a fraction of them could be isolated and cultivated. The “MicroMATRIX” research project, funded with EUR 1.5 million by the ...
How Cells Correctly Choose Active Genes
Formation of Transcription Factories Resembles Condensation of Liquids
09-Nov-2021
It is essential for cells to control precisely which of the many genes of their genetic material they use. This is done in so-called transcription factories, molecular clusters in the nucleus. Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Friedrich-Alexander-Universität ...
Automated chemical synthesis: reliable production and rapid knowledge gain
KIT Invests About Four Million Euros in Facility for Automated Synthesis
09-Aug-2021
One of the most modern infrastructures for automated process control in chemistry is being built by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) together with BASF: The facility will initially produce new substances in parallel for applications in fields ranging from biology to materials science. ...
Machine Learning Speeds up Simulations in Material Science
Faster and More Accurate Methods Come in Useful in Various Applications from Energy Storage to Medicines
17-Jun-2021
Research, development, and production of novel materials depend heavily on the availability of fast and at the same time accurate simulation methods. Machine learning, in which artificial intelligence (AI) autonomously acquires and applies new knowledge, will soon enable researchers to develop ...
Catalyst Research: Molecular Probes Require Highly Precise Calculations
Scientists Use Advanced Methods with Hybrid Functionals for Analysis of Active Sites
21-Dec-2020
Catalysts are indispensable for many technologies. To further improve heterogeneous catalysts, it is required to analyze the complex processes on their surfaces, where the active sites are located. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), together with colleagues from Spain and ...
Producing Graphene from Carbon Dioxide
Direct Synthesis of Technological Material Graphene from Greenhouse Gas Carbon Dioxide
10-Jul-2019
The general public knows the chemical compound of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere and because of its global-warming effect. However, carbon dioxide can also be a useful raw material for chemical reactions. A working group at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has now ...
Scientists observe nanowires as they grow
X-ray experiments reveal exact details of self-catalysed growth for the first time
12-Feb-2018
At DESY's X-ray source PETRA III, scientists have followed the growth of tiny wires of gallium arsenide live. Their observations reveal exact details of the growth process responsible for the evolving shape and crystal structure of the crystalline nanowires. The findings also provide new ...
3-D-printing of glass now possible
New procedure allows complex forms of glass to be made by 3-D-printing
25-Apr-2017
Glass is one of mankind's oldest materials. It was used as far back as in ancient Egypt and ancient Rome and has found a place now also in manufacturing technology of the 21st century. An interdisciplinary team at the KIT led by mechanical engineer Dr. Bastian E. Rapp developed a process using ...
Record for Perovskite/CIGS Tandem Solar Module
29-Sep-2016
Thin-film technologies can dramatically reduce the cost of next-generation solar modules. Whereas their production cost is low, it is in particular the combination of complementary absorber materials in a tandem solar module that increases the power conversion efficiency. At the PSCO ...
Nanofur for oil spill cleanup
Hairy plant leaves are highly oil-absorbing
22-Aug-2016
Some water ferns can absorb large volumes of oil within a short time, because their leaves are strongly water-repellent and, at the same time, highly oil-absorbing. Researchers of KIT, together with colleagues of Bonn University, have found that the oil-binding capacity of the water plant results ...
