- New microscopy methods revolutionize neuroscience
Anyone who wants to understand the brain must be able to see the brain's microscopically small switching units - the neurons - at work. Conventional light microscopes are not sufficient to do the j... - Lichens, mosses and cyanobacteria produce large amounts of greenhouse gases
Inconspicuous creatures surprise with a property that is important for our climate: Lichens, mosses and cyanobacteria release large quantities of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O), also known ... - Temperature-controlled catalyst allows synthesis of molecular mirror images
Many chemical compounds exist as an image and a mirror image: they differ in their spatial orientation, like the left and right hand. The properties of these so-called chiral molecules are also oft...
- Electrochemical detection of reversible binding on semoconductor
Scientists from Heidelberg University in collaboration with researchers from the University of Gießen have succeeded in electrochemically detecting protein binding on semiconductor materials for th... - Usable method for detecting extremely rare inert gas isotopes for water dating developed
In the earth and environmental sciences, radioactive isotopes, atom variants that decay over time, play a major role in age determination. A radioactive isotope of the inert gas argon (39Ar), for e... - New method to measure intracellular protein movement
Numerous obstacles posed by cellular structures hinder protein movements within the cell. Researchers from Heidelberg University and the German Cancer Research Center have succeeded in mapping the ... - Carbon-gold compound of high stability isolated
With a chemical "trick", scientists at Heidelberg University have succeeded in isolating a stable gold carbene complex. Chemist Prof. Dr. Bernd F. Straub and his team are the first to have created ... - Tracking the HI Virus with High-resolution Microscopy
Experts from science and industry are working on new methods of microscopy and advancing microscopy technology to improve our ability to study and understand the molecular processes of HIV infectio...
- Coastal Waters Produce Halogenated Organic Molecules that Exacerbate Stratospheric Ozone Depletion
Coastal waters of the tropical Western Pacific produce natural halogenated organic molecules involving chlorine, bromine and iodine atoms that may damage the stratospheric ozone layer. This is the ...
- Novel High-Resolution Methods in Fluorescence Microscopy
Physical limits in high-resolution light microscopy can be overcome with the aid of chemical reactions. Scientists at Heidelberg University's Institute of Physical Chemistry and members of the Clus... - Electric Signals Amplify Weak Olfactory Stimuli in the Nose
The human olfactory system possesses a special electric amplification mechanism that enables olfactory cells to respond even to extremely weak stimuli. Scientists at Heidelberg University headed by...
