Sustainable recycling using electrochemistry: Carl Zeiss Foundation supports new research project
New Halocycles project aims to develop a halogen recovery technique contributing to the stabilization of the power grid and the defossilization of the future industrial society
07-Nov-2022
Increasing the recovery of valuable fossil raw materials, avoiding climate-damaging carbon dioxide emission, and stabilizing our energy supply network – these are the three major objectives of a new joint research project of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and TU Kaiserslautern. With ...
Secret structure in the wiring diagram of the brain
Researchers discover a hidden order in seemingly random connections between neurons
19-Oct-2022
In the brain, our perception arises from a complex interplay of neurons that are connected via synapses. But the number and strength of connections between certain types of neurons can vary. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University Medical Center Mainz and the ...
A novel path for sustainable photon upconversion with non-precious metals
Scientists use chromium for efficient green-to-blue photon upconversion
07-Jun-2022
Sustainable chemical applications need to be able to employ renewable energy sources, renewable raw materials, and earth-abundant elements. However, to date many techniques have only been possible with the use of expensive precious metals or rare earth metals, the extraction of which can have ...
Long-term carbon dioxide emissions from cement production can be drastically reduced
Chemists develop a method for producing cement by milling instead of burning lime, which is harmful to the environment
10-Nov-2021
Global warming and affordable housing are two dominant topics of public debate. Climate protection is achieved by reducing emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO₂). Housing is generated through more housing being built. This requires concrete, the most important building material in ...
Breakthrough for the treatment of celiac disease
Development and clinical testing of a first effective drug
19-Jul-2021
A team of researchers led by Professor Dr. Dr. Detlef Schuppan, Director of the Institute of Translational Immunology at University Medical Center Mainz, has developed a novel drug for the treatment of gluten intolerance (celiac disease): the transglutaminase inhibitor ZED1227. The drug is based ...
The broken mirror: Can parity violation in molecules finally be measured?
Scientists propose a promising way to detect parity violation in molecules for the first time
05-Jun-2020
Scientists have long tried to experimentally demonstrate a certain symmetry property of the weak interaction - parity violation - in molecules. So far, this has not been possible. A new interdisciplinary effort led by a research group at the at the PRISMA+Cluster of Excellence at Johannes ...
Air pollution is one of the world's most dangerous health risks
The effects of air pollution shorten the lives of people by an average of almost three years
05-Mar-2020
Polluted air is a public health hazard that cannot be evaded. It is widely known that long-term exposure to air pollution enhances the risks of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and the University Medical Center Mainz now calculated in ...
Scientists develop highly sensitive molecular optical pressure sensor
Molecular ruby for use in materials sciences or catalysis
09-Jul-2018
Chemists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and at the Université de Montréal in Canada have developed a molecular system capable of very precise optical pressure measurements. The gemstone ruby served as the source of inspiration. However, the system developed by the team headed by ...
Synthesis of opium alkaloids using electric current
A selective electrochemical reaction offers a solution to a long-standing synthetic challenge
02-Jul-2018
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have mastered a nearly 50-year-old challenge of electrosynthetic chemistry, namely the electrochemical synthesis of thebaine. The chemists had set themselves this difficult task within the framework of a collaboration with the University of ...
Photoexcited graphene puzzle solved
A boost for graphene-based light detectors
05-Jun-2018
Light detection and control lies at the heart of many modern device applications, such as smartphone cameras. Using graphene as a light-sensitive material for light detectors can offer significant improvements with respect to materials being used nowadays. For example, graphene can detect light ...
