- A new detail has been added to the "nuclear periodic table"
For the first time, a research team from the University of Cologne has observed the electron capture decay of technetium-98, an isotope of the chemical element technetium (Tc). Electron capture... - New Antibody blocks almost all known HIV variants in neutralization assays
An international research team led by scientists from the DZIF at the University of Cologne has discovered an antibody that neutralizes the human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 in almost all tested v... - How synapses stick together
Scientists in Cologne offer a molecular perspective on the architecture of a synapse. They have discovered that a protein in the brain forms flexible filaments, thereby acting as an essential build...
- When bacteria no longer behave as single-celled organisms but as a collective
The electrical potential across the bacterial cell envelope indicates when bacteria no longer operate as individual cells but as a collective. Researchers at the University of Cologne's Institute f...
- Microbial cleaning crew scours sewage plants
Ciliates and rotifers are the 'cleaners' in sewage treatment plants. That is the result of a study by Jule Freudenthal and Dr Kenneth Dumack in the research group of Professor Dr Michael Bonkowski ...
- Antibiotic resistance - quick and reliable detection
Early detection of antibiotic resistant pathogens can be life-saving. DZIF-scientists at the Institute for Medical Microbiology, Immunology and Hygiene, University of Cologne, have developed an ant...
- Hidden order and 5f electron density
URu2Si2 is a mysterious quantum material. Thirty years ago an ordering transition was found at 17 degrees above absolute zero temperature from specific heat (entropy) measurements. Since then, this...
- Mechanical forces control the stucture of bacterial biofilms
As hide-outs for bacteria, biofilms cause problems for antibiotic treatment or the cleaning of medical tubes. They contribute to the spreading of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. A biofilm i...
- Detection of iso-propyl cyanide in the interstellar medium
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (Bonn, Germany), Cornell University (USA), and the University of Cologne (Germany) have for the first time detected a carbon-bearing mol...
