A treasure map for the realm of electrocatalysts
Research into promising materials is hampered by the sheer number of possible candidates: An efficient method to solve this problem now developed
17-Jan-2022
Efficient electrocatalysts, which are needed for the production of green hydrogen, for example, are hidden in materials composed of five or more elements. A team from Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and the University of Copenhagen has developed an efficient method for identifying promising ...
Quickly identify high-performance multi-element catalysts
Complex solid solution electrocatalyst discovery by computational prediction and high‐throughput experimentation
18-Feb-2021
Finding the best material composition among thousands of possibilities is like looking for a needle in a haystack. An international team is combining computer simulations and high-throughput experiments to do this. Catalysts consisting of at least five chemical elements could be the key to ...
Malaria pathogens under the X-ray microscope
X-ray microscopy at BESSY II reveals how antimalaria-drugs might work
04-Nov-2019
Malaria is one of the most threatening infectious diseases in the world. An international team has now been able to investigate malaria pathogens in red blood cells in vivo using the BESSY II X-ray microscope and the ALBA and ESRF synchrotron sources. The scientists reveal the mechanisms used by ...
New discoveries map out CRISPR-Cas defence systems in bacteria
26-Sep-2019
With the aid of highly advanced microscopes and synchrotron sources, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have gained seminal insight into how bacteria function as defence mechanisms against attacks from other bacteria and viruses. The study, which has just been published in the journal, ...
Little Heaps of Silver, All Wrapped Up
Determination of the crystal structure of a DNA-stabilized silver nanocluster
13-Sep-2019
Nanoclusters are little “heaps” of a few atoms that often have interesting optical properties and could become useful probes for imaging processes in areas such as biomedicine and diagnostics. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, researchers have introduced a nanocluster of 16 silver atoms ...
Challenging counterfeit products with rare earths
New marking technique could halt product piracy
29-Jan-2018
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have developed the world's most secure marking system for combatting pirated goods including pirated pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, designer merchandise and artwork. The system could be on the market in a year and because the markings are random, it ...
Searching for the CRISPR Swiss-army knife
13-Dec-2017
Scientists at the University of Copenhagen, led by the Spanish Professor Guillermo Montoya, are investigating the molecular features of different molecular scissors of the CRISPR-Cas system to shed light on the so-called 'Swiss-army knives' of genome editing. Montoya's research group has ...
Superfast light source made from artificial atom
29-Apr-2016
All light sources work by absorbing energy - for example, from an electric current - and emit energy as light. But the energy can also be lost as heat and it is therefore important that the light sources emit the light as quickly as possible, before the energy is lost as heat. Superfast light ...
Nanowires could be the LEDs of the future
30-Jun-2015
The latest research from the Niels Bohr Institute shows that LEDs made from nanowires will use less energy and provide better light. The researchers studied nanowires using X-ray microscopy and with this method they can pinpoint exactly how the nanowire should be designed to give the best ...
