- Plastic particles and climate change as drivers for antimicrobial resistance
A research project based at Heidelberg University and Heidelberg University Hospital targets plastic particles and climate change as driving factors for the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)... - Important building block for artificial cells
During cell division, a ring forms around the cell equator, which contracts to divide the cell into two daughter cells. Together with researchers from Heidelberg, Dresden, Tübingen and Harvard, Pro...
- Methane formation in the inanimate environment
Iron and reactive oxygen species - exposed to light and heat - drive the formation of the greenhouse gas methane in aqueous environments. Methane formation is also possible under abiotic conditions...
- Porous Crystals Bind Fluorine-containing Greenhouse Gases
Emissions of greenhouse gases contribute significantly to global warming. Not only carbon dioxide (CO2) but also fluorine-containing gases - including so-called per- or polyfluorinated hydrocarbons...
- Visualising cell structures in three dimensions in mere minutes
Viral pathogens like the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus change the interior structure of the cells they infect. These changes occur at the level of individual cell components - the organelles - and can pro... - First synthesis and complete characterisation of Silicon with a two-dimensional structure
Silicon, a semi-metal, bonds in its natural form with four other elements and its three-dimensional structure takes the form of a tetrahedron. For a long time, it seemed impossible to achieve the s... - Viewing the Virus Close Up
Advancing research into how viruses penetrate and act on human cells requires powerful cell imaging approaches. Soft X-ray microscopy is particularly suitable but has so far not been widely availab...
- Artificial carbohydrates for sustainable food production?
What alternatives to conventional agriculture exist to produce carbohydrates for food and feed? Scientists at Heidelberg University performed model calculations for artificial sugar production with... - How cells disentangle clumped proteins
A Dutch-German team including researchers from Heidelberg University explored and describe a molecular machine which pulls on exposed loops of the protein chains and extracts them from the protein ... - Cyanobacteria produce methane
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are among the most common organisms on Earth and are notorious for forming toxins. A recent study has now shown for the first time that these bacteria...
- Predicting Protein Functions
Proteins perform vital tasks in the body, such as regulating metabolism and transmitting signals. Researchers from the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) and Heidelberg University have now developed ... - Measuring individual Argon atoms helps in understanding ocean ventilation
The age of the water in the world's oceans is critical for understanding ocean circulation, especially for the transport of gases from the atmosphere into the deep ocean. Researchers from Heidelber...
- Ageing is visible in the way cells use glucose
Getting older means a few more wrinkles and grey hairs. Deep down, ageing also entails a functional decline of your cells and especially of stem cells. A research team from EMBL and Heidelberg Univ...
- Closing in on the secret of possible new enzymes
Researchers at Heidelberg University have gained new knowledge on the possible biological function of patellamides. In laboratory experiments, they were able to demonstrate that this natural produc... - Water Dating with an Atom Trap
A Heidelberg physics project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) will focus on a new type of dating method for use in the earth and environmental sciences. The research team will deploy ...
- The special properties of an atomic gas
In a laboratory experiment, physicists at the Center for Quantum Dynamics of Heidelberg University have succeeded in determining the equation of state for an atomic gas, which can be used to precis...
- Einstein's Theory of Relativity explains fundamental properties of gold
Some fundamental properties of the coinage metal elements gold, silver and copper, such as chemical behaviour or colours, are already predetermined in their atoms. The unique properties of gold can... - 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... - New powerful automatic method for image analysis
In order to track the movements of biological particles in a cell, scientists at Heidelberg University and the German Cancer Research Center have developed a powerful analysis method for live cell ...
- Imaging the absolute configuration of a chiral compound for the first time
In a complex experiment, Heidelberg researchers have succeeded for the first time in determining the absolute configuration of a chiral compound by means of direct imaging. They were able to conclu...
