- A 50-year-old mystery has been solved: how acid removes water from proteins
Proteins systematically lose their protective hydration shell when their environment becomes more acidic. Until recently this was just a theory. State-of-the-art imaging techniques have helped rese...
- Researchers develop ultrasmall, light-sensitive nanoparticles that could serve as contrast agents
A novel class of light-sensitive nanoparticles may one day enable new approaches to medical imaging. They were developed by a research team at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). The p...
- Improved safety and performance: new gel filling for lithium-ion batteries
A new type of gel, developed by chemists at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), could help to make lithium-ion batteries safer and more powerful. The gel is designed to prevent...
- Coronavirus: Mass spectrometry as a new rapid and reliable detection method
Commercially available mass spectrometers can reliably detect the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. In the journal "Clinical proteomics" researchers from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) p...
- How ultrathin polymer films can be used for storage technology
Precisely applied mechanical pressure can improve the electronic properties of a widely used polymer material. This requires that the material be mechanically processed to an accuracy of a few nano... - Shining some light on the obscure proteome
Mass-spectrometry based proteomics is the big-data science of proteins that allows the monitoring of the abundance of thousands of proteins in a sample at once. Therefore, it is a particularly w... - How artificial intelligence can help to study protein complexes
Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Hamburg have developed a new method for studying proteins. The team has succeeded in ...
- Cannabis oils: do they really contain what their packaging claims?
Oils, shampoos and even chewing gum: the substance cannabidiol (CBD), an extract of the hemp plant, is currently very popular and can be found in many everyday products. However, it is not clear wh... - Circular economy: how synthetic rubber raw material can be degraded
Enzymes are capable of degrading synthetic polyisoprene. The specific conditions for that have now been created and exploited by researchers at Martin Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and t... - Novel, inexpensive catalysts enabling noble metal chemistry
Alkynes have many uses in industry. Until now, it was assumed that gold- or platinum-based catalysts were absolutely necessary for certain chemical reactions with alkynes. Chemists at Martin Luther... - Spintronics: miniature terahertz sources
Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and Freie Universität Berlin have developed a new, simple approach for generating terahertz radiation. Strong optical laser pulses ena... - Alternative cement with low carbon footprint
Researchers at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) in Germany and the Brazilian University of Pará have developed a climate-friendly alternative to conventional cement. Carbon dioxi... - Reveal the inner structure of Single-chain nanoparticles for the first time
Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) are an attractive material for chemical and biomedical applications. They are created from just a single chain of molecules that folds into a particle whose circu...
- Spintronics: Make non-magnetic materials magnetic
A complex process can modify non-magnetic oxide materials in such a way to make them magnetic. The basis for this new phenomenon is controlled layer-by-layer growth of each material. An internat... - Electron cryo-microscopy: Using inexpensive technology to produce high-resolution images
Biochemists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have used a standard electron cryo-microscope to achieve surprisingly good images that are on par with those taken by far more sophist... - How to produce better electrodes
Another step forward for renewable energies: The production of green hydrogen could be even more efficient in the future. By applying an unusual process step, chemists at Martin Luther University H...
- A simple, easy-to-use method to break down pollutants in water
Chemists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have found out how stubborn pollutants in water can be disintegrated easily and cost-effectively. To do so researchers only need a gree...
