High-speed march through a layer of graphene
07-Oct-2015
Electrons hit by strong laser pulses change their location on ultrashort timescales, i.e. within a couple of attoseconds. In cooperation with the Center for Nano-Optics of Georgia State University in Atlanta (USA), scientists at the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics (LAP), which is run jointly by ...
Color-coding sensor: Nanostructures for contactless control
25-Sep-2015
Chemists at Ludwig-Maximilians-Univeristaet (LMU) in Munich have fabricated a novel nanosheet-based photonic crystal that changes color in response to moisture. The new material could form the basis for humidity-sensitive contactless control of interactive screens on digital devices. LMU chemists ...
Laser-based molecular fingerprinting
24-Sep-2015
Researchers and regulators in many fields often need to detect and measure levels of specific substances in a sea of irrelevant molecules, and infrared light offers an ideal tool for this task. Infrared radiation is invisible to the human eye, but molecules react with mid-infrared light in ways ...
In eight steps to a natural product
The eight-step path to natural product shedding light on its biosynthesis and reveal its relationship to the pigment purpurogallin.
11-Sep-2015
Researchers led by Dirk Trauner, Professor of Chemical Biology and Genetics at LMU Munich, describe the biomimetic synthesis of epicolactone, a compound which was first isolated from an endophytic fungus. "What we have accomplished is one of the shortest and most elegant total syntheses of a ...
Formation of swarms in nanosystems
20-Aug-2015
One of the striking features of self-organization in biomolecular systems is the capacity of assemblies of filamentous particles for synchronous motion. LMU physicists now provide new insights into how such movements are coordinated. Living matter, which consists largely of diverse polymeric ...
Mini X-ray source with laser light
18-Aug-2015
Physicists from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and the TU München have developed a method using laser-generated X-rays and phase-contrast X-ray tomography to produce three-dimensional images of soft tissue structures in organisms With laser light, ...
The fluorescent fingerprint of plastics
25-Aug-2014
LMU researchers have developed a new process which will greatly simplify the process of sorting plastics in recycling plants. The method enables automated identification of polymers, facilitating rapid separation of plastics for re-use. A team of researchers led by ProfessorHeinz Langhalsof LMU’s ...
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.
