» Search accurate expression '""Universit'- Bacteria acquire resistance from competitors
Bacteria not only develop resistance to antibiotics, they also can pick it up from their rivals. In a recent publication in "Cell Reports", Researchers from the Biozentrum of the University of Base...
- The origin of water's unusual properties found
Using x-ray lasers, researchers at Stockholm University have been able to map out how water fluctuates between two different states when it is cooled. At -44°C these fluctuations reach a maximum po... - Are Phages Our Best Bet Against Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria?
Bacteriophages, or simply phages, are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria, and they hold considerable potential for combatting antibiotic-resistance and other threats to human health.... - Hydrogen Production - New results in catalysis research
The interaction of protein shell and active centre in hydrogen-producing enzymes is crucial for the efficiency of biocatalysts. A team from Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the Max Planck Institute for ... - Coffee physics
For anyone who has marveled at the richly colored layers in a cafe latte, you're not alone. Princeton researchers, likewise intrigued, have now revealed how this tiered structure develops when espr... - Origami nanostructures to track individual molecules
One of chemistry's greatest challenges is investigating reaction mechanisms at the level of single molecules. This can be performed using Raman spectroscopy - provided that molecules and metallic n... - Gips-Schüle Research Award for Ultracompact Photodetector
Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) demonstrated a novel plasmonic photodetector that is a hundred times smaller and much quicker than conventional detectors. For this, scientist... - Plasmonic biosensors enable development of new easy-to-use health tests
The plasmonic biosensor can detect diseased exosomes even by the naked eye. Exosomes, important indicators of health conditions, are cell-derived vesicles that are present in blood and urine. A ... - Are molecules right-handed or left-handed?
The starting signal is given and two electrons speed off in opposite directions. The one that wins the race is barely seven attoseconds ahead. The difference is so small that up till now it has bee... - New method for monitoring nuclear waste
New scientific findings suggest neutrino detectors may play an important role in ensuring better monitoring and safer storage of radioactive material in nuclear waste repository sites. Researchers ... - A hybrid renewable energy solution
Grid operators need to do more than simply distribute the electricity generated by wind farms and photovoltaic plants. They also have to ensure a consistent quality of supply. Achieving this with t... - New forensic technology will make it "impossible" for criminals to destroy fingerprint evidence
The advanced detection technique, which allows investigators to take prints from problematic exhibits, such as spent ammunition casings, was carried out in partnership with the Defence Science and ... - New approach to determining the structure of molecules in biological cells
This is about nothing less than the complex mechanisms of life: In their project entitled "Spectroscopy in cells" - or SPICE for short - the physical chemist Professor Malte Drescher and his workin... - Novel solid sodium battery with the potential to store extra energy
Phones, laptops, electric cars - batteries are everywhere. And to meet the expectations of today's consumers, these batteries are increasingly lighter, more powerful and designed to last longer. Cu... - How to overcome the problem of electrochemical polymer formation
Electrochemistry has undergone a renaissance in recent years and numerous research groups are currently working on the environmentally friendly production or conversion of molecules. However, despi... - New photocatalyst converts carbon dioxide to 99% pure fuel
A KAIST research team led by Professor Hyunjoon Song of the Department of Chemistry developed a metal oxide nanocatalyst that converts carbon dioxide to 99% pure methane. This technology directly u... - A Super Adhesive Made From Intestinal Bacteria
UniCat scientists have reprogrammed strains of the intestinal bacteria Escherichia Coli in such a way that the biological underwater adhesive of mussels can be created with help of the bacteria. Th... - Tracking down the origins of gold
The European Research Council has awarded HITS astrophysicist Andreas Bauswein an ERC Starting Grant worth approximately 1.5 million euros. Using computer simulations, the aim of the project is to ... - New Bioinspired Polymers Using Electrostatic Force
University of Massachusetts Amherst chemical engineer Sarah L. Perry, working with a colleague at the University of Illinois, is creating new bioinspired materials using electrostatic charge to dir... - The theory about particle transport through ionic channels and nanopores needs to be rewritten
The phenomenon of diffusion is omnipresent and crucial basis of many every-day processes. Diffusion plays a central role for the transport of very small particles. The investigation of Brownian mot... - Serial crystallography using broad-spectrum X-rays
A newly developed experimental set-up allows the X-ray structure determination of biomolecules such as proteins with far smaller samples and shorter exposure times than before. At so-called synchro... - Platinum Single Atom Catalysts for 'Direct Formic Acid Fuel Cells'
A research team co-led by Professor Hyunjoo Lee at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at KAIST and Professor Jeong Woo Han from the University of Seoul synthesized highly stabl... - Flexible detector for terahertz frequencies
Terahertz radiation has a wide range of uses and can occur in everything from radio astronomy to medicine. The term refers to the electromagnetic waves whose frequencies range from 100 gigahertz to... - New cell scale with high resolution
From earthworms and sunflowers to human beings, we are all made up of cells, so it's no surprise that researchers are hard at work investigating these building blocks of life. They have already dis... - Beer can lift your spirits
Visitors to the Oktoberfest have always known it and now it has been scientifically proven - beer can lift your spirits. Scientists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) examin...
