- New procedure for detecting silver nanoparticles in water bodies
For a number of years now, an increasing number of synthetic nanoparticles have been manufactured and incorporated into various products, such as cosmetics. For the first time, a research project a... - Artificially recreating of so-called DNA condensation on a biochip
Recreating important biological processes in cells to better understand them currently is a major topic of research. Now, physicists at TU Munich and the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot have for the ... - Non-invasive imaging method for showing oxygen in tissue
Learning how to look inside a body without having to cut it open is still an important part of medical research. One of the great challenges in imaging remains the visualization of oxygen in tissue... - New materials for the construction of metal organic two-dimensional quasicrystals
Unlike classical crystals, quasicrystals do not comprise periodic units, even though they do have a superordinate structure. The formation of the fascinating mosaics that they produce is barely und... - A new tracking and quantification software for single cells
Together with colleagues from the ETH Zürich, scientists at the Helmholtz Zentrum München and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a software that allows observing cells for week... - A sub-surface copper layer boosts activity of platinum electrodes
Water electrolysis has not yet established itself as a method for the production of hydrogen. Too much energy is lost in the process. With a trick researchers of the Technical University of Munich ...
- Nanostructured germanium for portable photovoltaics and battery electrodes
Using a new procedure researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig Maximillians University of Munich (LMU) can now produce extremely thin and robust, yet highly porous sem... - New X-ray method uses scattering to visualize nanostructures
Both in materials science and in biomedical research it is important to be able to view minute nanostructures, for example in carbon-fiber materials and bones. A team from the Technical University ... - Neutrons explain aging process in lithium ion batteries
A key issue with lithium ion batteries is aging. It significantly reduces their potential storage capacity. To date, very little is known about the causes of the aging effects. Scientists from the ... - New X-ray method for 3D-images of soft tissue developed
Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) have developed a miniature X-ray source with la... - Effective conversion of methane oxidation by a new copper zeolite
A new bio-inspired zeolite catalyst, developed by an international team with researchers from Technische Universität München (TUM), Eindhoven University of Technology and University of Amsterdam, m... - New detection method for bacterial toxin "Bacillus cereus"
The Bacillus cereus bacteria is one of the potential causes of food poisoning. Indeed, a recent study in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry shows that this versatile pathogen produces 19 differ...
- Leibniz Prize 2015 announced for discovery of a new family of antibiotics
Nature harbours some of the most effective treatments for diseases - however, identifying and analysing these substances is a major scientific challenge. Prof. Dr. Christian Hertweck is one of the ... - Characterization of X-ray flashes opens new perspectives in X-ray science
Ultra-short and extremely strong X-ray flashes, as produced by free-electron lasers, are opening the door to a hitherto unknown world. Scientists are using these flashes to take "snapshots" of the ... - Mechanism for aroma formation in wine pinpointed
The majority of wines are produced from around 20 different types of grape, all of which have their own typical aroma. This is due to the terpenes, a diverse category of chemical substances includi... - Chemical reaction yields "tapes" of porphin molecules
Dr. Wilhelm Auwärter and his team are working on a research project to develop tiny flat molecule tapes at the Department of Physics of Technische Universität München (TUM). These structures could ... - Imaging method improved by scrambling X-rays from a new source
X-ray phase-contrast imaging can provide high-quality images of objects with lower radiation dose. But until now these images have been hard to obtain and required special X-ray sources whose prope... - Protein identified as important trigger of antiviral response
Cells have to protect themselves: against damage in their genetic material for one thing, but also against attack from the outside, by viruses for example. They do this by using different mechanism... - Efficient catalysts convert carbon dioxide to methane
When clouds cloak the sun, the production of solar power drops abruptly. When the wind lulls, wind parks quit producing energy. On the other hand, there are days on which wind power stations must b... - The "thousand-droplets test": Chemical reactions in artificial cell-scale systems show surprising diversity
In the future, an entire chemistry lab could be accommodated in a tiny little droplet. While simple reactions already work in these simplest models of an artificial cell now a group of scientists o... - Statistical methods improve biological single-cell analysis
Stem cells can turn into heart cells, skin cells can mutate to cancer cells; even cells of the same tissue type exhibit small heterogeneities. Scientists use single-cell analysis to investigate the...
- Scientists at the TU München detect glycidamid in crisps and French fries
The discovery of acrylamid in heated foodstuffs sent shockwaves around the world in 2002. Subsequent improvements in production methods enabled the food industry to reduce levels of acrylamid. Howe... - Scientists of the TU Muenchen reveal the key flavors of bourbon whiskey
Whiskey is famous for its unique aroma combining smoky, malty odors with a characteristic sweet, vanilla-like flavor note, in particular, in American Bourbon-whiskeys. Over the last 40 years more t...
