- 24,000 times more harmful to the climate than CO2: SF6 gas emissions in Germany
Using measurements and advanced computer models, an international team led by researchers from Goethe University Frankfurt has pinpointed an emission source for the climate-damaging gas sulfur hexa... - PFAS: A Novel Path to Breaking Down "Forever Chemicals"
Chemists at Goethe University, Frankfurt have developed a catalyst capable of breaking down per- and polyfluorinated organic substances (PFAS) - also known as "forever chemicals" - in a targeted ma...
- Novel electrochemical sensor detects dangerous bacteria
Researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt and Kiel University have developed a novel sensor for the detection of bacteria. It is based on a chip with an innovative surface coating. This ensures th...
- The mechanism that helps thehospital pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii to survive
A research team led by Beate Averhoff and Volker Müller of Goethe University Frankfurt has discovered the mechanism that explains why the pathogen is difficult to eradicate in hospitals and why inf... - How the use of chemicals and biodiversity loss are connected
Science does not take a deep enough look at chemicals in the environment as one of the causes of the decline in biodiversity. Forty scientists in the RobustNature research network of Goethe Univers...
- How bacteria gain energy through CO2 fixation
Acetic acid-producing bacteria (acetogens) are very interesting for the biotech industry: They fix the climate gas CO2 and at the same time produce not only acetic acid, but also substances such as... - Water in the Earth's Interior? - Diamond from a depth of 660 kilometers analyzed spectroscopically
The transition zone between the Earth's upper and lower mantle contains considerable quantities of water, according to an international study involving the Institute for Geosciences at Goethe Unive... - Produce Antibiotics from natural substances using a new biosynthesis method
The use of the element fluorine to modify active substances is an important tool in modern drug development. A team at Goethe University Frankfurt has now achieved an important "first" by successfu... - Proton translocation pathways in a molecular machine of cellular energy metabolism
All vital processes require a constant supply of energy. In the cell, the chemically "charged" molecule ATP is the main provider of this energy. The ATP power packs are produced, among others, in s...
- Research accelerator: worldwide network develops SARS-CoV-2 proteine protocols for laboratories
For the development of drugs or vaccines against COVID-19, research needs virus proteins of high purity. For most of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins, scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt and a total o...
- Artificial cell organelles for biotechnology
Cells of higher organisms use cell organelles to separate metabolic processes from each other. This is how cell respiration takes place in the mitochondria, the cell's power plants. They can be com... - Zeptoseconds: New world record in short time measurement
In the global race to measure ever shorter time spans, physicists from Goethe University Frankfurt have now taken the lead: together with colleagues at the accelerator facility DESY in Hamburg and ...
- Endocrine disrupting chemicals in baby teethers
In laboratory tests, two out of ten teethers, plastic toys used to sooth babies' teething ache, release endocrine disrupting chemicals. One product contains parabens, which are normally used as pre...
- The COLTRIMS Reaction Microscope provides new results for the structure of helium molecules
Frankfurt physicists have once again contributed to resolving a disputed matter of theoretical physics. Science has long since known that, contrary to the old school of thought, helium forms molecu...
