- Functional coating made from proteins and bacteria makes harmful UV-light visible
T-shirts that warn of excessive sun exposure or labels that reveal damage to light sensitive materials: researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a coating that makes t...
- Preventing dangerous short circuits in lithium batteries
Dendrites are considered the most dangerous destroyers of lithium batteries - tiny metal structures that can cause short circuits. In the worst case, they can cause batteries to burn or explode. ... - Fatty acids feed cancer-promoting bacteria
It is well established that gut microbiome composition plays a pivotal role in human health - yet the precise connections are still not fully elucidated. Researchers at the Technical University... - Molecular mechanism uncovered: Beta-Carotene keeps enzymes active under heavy load
Enzymes are vital to metabolism and drive countless biological processes in humans, plants, and industry. Yet, when overwhelmed by excess substrate, some enzymes slow down - a phenomenon known as s... - New discovery: nanopores can passively collect water from the air
A serendipitous observation in a Chemical Engineering lab at Penn Engineering (University of Pennsylvania) has led to a surprising discovery: a new class of nanostructured materials that can pull w... - Identifying pathogens with mass spectrometry
Speed and reliability are crucial in the diagnosis of diseases. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Imperial College London have developed a new method to identify bacteria ... - A method to purify proteins with light
Proteins play a key role in the life sciences - from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists at the Technical Univer... - A completely new type of microscopy based on quantum sensors
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have invented an entirely new field of microscopy, nuclear spin microscopy. The team can visualize magnetic signals of nuclear magnetic reson... - Why AI models in the Life Sciences often fail in practice
Artificial intelligence (AI) based on machine learning offers opportunities for the life sciences. However, problems often arise in practice. One cause is data leakage, the illicit spillover of inf...
- Highly effective filter material to remove PFAS from drinking water
The chemicals known as PFAS are considered a severe threat to human health. Among other things, they can cause liver damage, cancer, and hormonal disorders. Researchers at the Technical University ... - New method for designing artificial proteins
Protein design aims to create customized antibodies for therapies, biosensors for diagnostics, or enzymes for chemical reactions. An international research team has now developed a method for desig... - What gave the first molecules their stability?
The origins of life remain a major mystery. How were complex molecules able to form and remain intact for prolonged periods without disintegrating? A team at ORIGINS, a Munich-based Cluster of Exce...
- Tracing invisible microplastic particles
How high are concentrations of microplastics in the environment, in our drinking water or in foods? Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed an automated analysis meth... - Artificial photosynthesis for environmentally friendly food production
Ensuring the supply of food to the constantly growing world population and protecting the environment at the same time are often conflicting objectives. Now researchers at the Technical University ... - Deep look inside biomolecule's structure for better vaccines against multidrug resistant germs
Bacteria which are resistant to all conventional antibiotics cause more than a million deaths each year. Consequently, researchers around the world are searching for new therapeutic approaches to c... - Recycling Rare Earths with cyanobacteria
Rare Earth metals are essential to countless high-tech applications. Working together with the University of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern, a research team from the Technical University of Munich...
- New material will make locally flexible diodes possible
Diodes allow directed flows of current. Without them, modern electronics would be inconceivable. Until now, they had to be made out of two materials with different characteristics. A research team ... - New research network for RNA-based drugs
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) will fund a so-called future cluster for research and development into RNA-based therapeutics. The network is led by researchers from th... - Shining some light on the obscure proteome
Mass-spectrometry based proteomics is the big-data science of proteins that allows the monitoring of the abundance of thousands of proteins in a sample at once. Therefore, it is a particularly w... - On the road to the super-battery - insights into lithium storage batteries
A research team led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has taken an in-depth look at the internal workings of batteries during charging and discharging. Their findings may help optimize ch... - Fuel from waste wood
According to the latest assessment report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a considerable reduction in CO2 emissions is required to limit the consequences of climate change. P... - Advances in micro-computed tomography
Researchers in biomedical physics and biology have significantly improved micro-computed tomography, more specifically imaging with phase contrast and high brilliance x-ray radiation. They have... - Optimization of mRNA containing nanoparticles
The research neutron source Hein Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is playing an important role in the investigation of mRNA nanoparticles similar to the ones used...
- New medication also promises protection against future SARS-CoV-2 variants
Vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus have been made possible by an unprecedented worldwide collaboration. But medications against Covid-19 have as yet seen only partial success. With the support o... - Evidence for a long-sought particle comprising four neutrons
While all atomic nuclei except hydrogen are composed of protons and neutrons, physicists have been searching for a particle consisting of two, three or four neutrons for over half a century. Experi...
