Breakthrough in making nanocrystals function together electronically
Conductive supercrystals for next-generation electronic technology
01-Apr-2022
A new study of an international team of chemists introduces a breakthrough in making nanocrystals function together electronically. Published March 25 in the journal “Science”, the research may open the doors to future devices, such as next-generation displays or solar cells. Nanocrystals are ...
Tuning the energy gap: A novel approach for organic semiconductors
14-Jun-2021
What is already established for inorganic semiconductors stays a challenge for their organic counterparts: Tuning the energy gap by blending different semiconducting molecules to optimize device performance. Now, scientists from TU Dresden, in cooperation with researchers at TU Munich, as well as ...
Cre-Controlled CRISPR: conditional gene inactivation just got easier
25-Feb-2021
The ability to turn a gene off only in a specific cell type is essential to modern life science. Thanks to the Cre-Controlled CRISPR it has just became simpler. The new method developed by researchers from the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) at TU Dresden with support from the ...
Flowers of St. John's Wort serve as green catalyst
Conceptually new and sustainable process registered as a German patent
16-Feb-2021
An interdisciplinary team of scientists from the School of Science at TU Dresden has for the first time used dried flowers of St. John's Wort (genus Hypericum) as an active catalyst in various photochemical reactions. This conceptually new and sustainable process was registered as a German patent ...
Microswimmers move like moths to the light
Impressive behavior of synthetic microswimmers studied
30-Nov-2020
The Freigeist group at TU Dresden, led by chemist Dr Juliane Simmchen, has studied an impressive behavior of synthetic microswimmers: as soon as the photocatalytic particles leave an illuminated zone, they flip independently and swim back into the light. This promising observation and its ...
How do tumor cells divide in the crowd?
Findings may identify new targets for cancer therapeutics
07-Sep-2020
Scientists led by Dr. Elisabeth Fischer-Friedrich, group leader at the Excellence Cluster Physics of Life (PoL) and the Biotechnology Center TU Dresden (BIOTEC) studied how cancer cells are able to divide in a crowded tumor tissue and connected it to the hallmark of cancer progression and ...
When predictions of theoretical chemists become reality
Making 2D Topological Polymers a reality
26-May-2020
Thomas Heine, Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at TU Dresden, together with his team, first predicted a topological 2D polymer in 2019. Only one year later, an international team led by Italian researchers was able to synthesize these materials and experimentally prove their topological ...
Scientists succeeds in producing dodecacene for the first time
World record in research on π-electron structures
19-Feb-2020
