- A closer look at cell toxins - how radionuclides interact with kidney cells
When radionuclides enter our organism, whether by inhalation, ingestion, or through wounds, they pose a potential health risk. Many previous studies on radionuclide exposure have focused mainly on ... - Artificial intelligence boosts super-resolution microscopy
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) might be best known from text or image-creating applications like ChatGPT or Stable Diffusion. But its usefulness beyond that is being shown in more and more...
- Microorganisms can help to extract dangerous heavy metals from wastewater
A research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has managed to purify water containing uranium using a special kind of bacteria known as magnetotactic bacteria. The name derives ... - Software solution for a better circular economy
Saving energy and raw materials as well as reducing environmental impacts is as urgent as never before. That's why consumers and suppliers alike seek to understand how to get reliable material, pro... - Sophisticated mix of methods offers improved structure analysis
Sometimes scientists have to accept that a method they have used for years fails under certain conditions. Such a failure calls for a careful analysis of the shortcomings and their subsequent elimi... - Different X-ray techniques combined
Sophisticated mix of methods offers improved structure analysis - Young scientist from the University of Regensburg awarded the Lieselotte Templeton Prize of the German Crystallographic SocietySome...
- New model describes boiling process with much greater precision
When a liquid boils in a vessel, tiny vapor bubbles form at the bottom and rise, transferring heat in the process. How these small bubbles grow and eventually detach was previously not known in any... - Innovative graphite recycling awarded as top European innovation
Each year, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) celebrates the entrepreneurial and societal achievements of its innovators. They are honored with the EIT Awards in four categor... - Exploring technetium in the environment
With a half-life of about 210.000 years, the radioactive isotope technetium-99 (99Tc), which is produced in nuclear reactors by fission of the uranium isotope 235U, plays a central role in the ques... - Magnetic trapping of rare-earth ions may lead to a handy technology for their separation
Some raw materials are considered critical by the European Commission. These include many representatives from the rare-earth elements group, for which supply bottlenecks are imminent and no simple...
- New x-ray Raman spectroscopy method promises spectacular insights into the interior of planets
At the heart of planets, extreme states are to be found: temperatures of thousands of degrees, pressures a million times greater than atmospheric pressure. They can therefore only be explored direc... - Electronic nose sniffs out free radicals
An international project involving researchers at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) is receiving 3.2 million euros from the European research and innovation program "Horizon 2020" to deve... - Innovative biotechnological process extracts gallium from industrial wastewater
Gallium is a rare metal, but it is widely used in the high-tech industry. This extreme contrast makes recycling indispensable. However, current recycling processes are costly and chemically pollute... - Liquid metals for energy storage
Reliable and economical systems for storing large amounts of energy are needed for industrial nations such as Germany to succeed in making strides toward a regenerative energy supply. An internatio...
- A closer look at superconductors
From sustainable energy to quantum computers: high-temperature superconductors have the potential to revolutionize today's technologies. Despite intensive research, however, we still lack the neces...
- Smart tomographic sensors control industrial processes of tomorrow
Modern parallel computer architectures are capable of processing huge amounts of data at high speed. This allows for the increasing use of imaging techniques as sensors to control machines and proc...
- Glutathione as a protective shield against Uranium
Microorganisms can better withstand the heavy metal uranium when glutathione is present, a molecule composed of three amino acids. Scientists from the German based Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossend... - Sustainable Processing of Rare Earths
Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) are developing a new strategy for processing the Vietnamese "Nam Xe" rare earth ore deposits in an environmentally frie... - Novel concept for compact high-field high-repetition-rate accelerator-based Terahertz user facilities
Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) succeeded in constructing a prototype facility for research with high Terahertz (THz) fields. The performance of the TELBE facility was...
- Camera for the Nano-Cosmos by combinin near-field optical microscopy and ultra-fast spectroscopy
To gain even deeper insights into the smallest of worlds, the thresholds of microscopy must be expanded further. Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the TU Dresden, in...
- The radiotracer can be visualized in vivo by using Positron Emission Tomography
Enzymes perform a range of key functions for the human body. As such, inside our cells, and inside the tiniest of organelles, proteins called cathepsins assist healthy cells with protein breakdown.... - Nanomaterial Outsmarts Ions
Ions are an essential tool in chip manufacturing, but these electrically charged atoms can also be used to produce nano-sieves with homogeneously distributed pores. A particularly large number of e... - Ion beams pave way to new kinds of valves for use in spintronics
