- New antibiotics discovered to treat multi-resistant germs
A research team involving the University of Hamburg has discovered a new active substance in a soil bacterium that has already been extensively studied. The antibiotic identified, 'manikomycin'... - X-ray view into chemical reactions - how iron-sulfur nanolayers are forme
Researchers at the University of Hamburg, the University of Toulouse, and the DESY and ESRF research institutes have observed for the first time in real time how iron-sulfur nanostructures form in ...
- A nanobody against herpes
Burning, blisters, pain: More than 40 million people worldwide are infected with the herpes virus every year. The virus can pose a serious threat to newborns and people with weakened immune systems... - 5D crystallography method captures protein dynamics at physiological temperatures
An interdisciplinary research team from Hamburg has developed a novel method that allows for time-resolved structural studies of proteins across a wide temperature range, including physiologically ... - New catalysts for more sustainability
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funds research into controlled quantum states of individual or coupled systems with its ongoing emerging talent program "Quantum Future"...
- New deep-sea enzyme breaks down PET plastic
Plastic pollution is increasingly affecting the health of coasts and oceans. One well-known problem is plastic bottles made from polyethylene terephthalate, or PET. A new study involving scientists... - Thermophotovoltaics: new resistant emitter based on iridium
Together with the Technical University of Hamburg and Aalborg University, researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon have developed a new selective emitter based on iridium for thermophotovoltai... - Solvent affects structure of nano-coatings
The choice of solvent used can control the specific structure of nanoparticle coatings, as has been demonstrated in a study headed by DESY NanoLab. The study shows that the solvent in which the nan...
- New microscopy technique for quantum simulation
Researchers from the Institute of Laser Physics at Universität Hamburg have developed a new technique for quantum gas microscopy that now allows imaging of three-dimensional quantum systems. In the... - Nanomaterials from a 3D X-ray perspective
A new X-ray technique can be used to produce high resolution images of nanocrystals in real time as they are growing, something that has not been done before. To this end, a team from DESY and the ...
- Ultrafast chemistry in water caused by ionising radiation observed for the first time
An international research team jointly led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Germany's Deutsches...
- Flexible circuits for 3D printing
A research cooperation between the University of Hamburg and DESY has developed a process suitable for 3D printing that can be used to produce transparent and mechanically flexible electronic circu...
- Time-resolved X-ray crystallography simplified
An international collaboration has developed a new method to observe the molecular foundations of biology, with the help of beamline P14 at EMBL Hamburg. The new 'hit-and-return' method simplifies ... - Plastic-eating bacteria more diverse and numerous than previously thought
We only recycle a small amount of plastics such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate), used to make bottles and packaging. Most ends up in the environment, where it takes a very long time to decompos...
- Serial crystallography using broad-spectrum X-rays
A newly developed experimental set-up allows the X-ray structure determination of biomolecules such as proteins with far smaller samples and shorter exposure times than before. At so-called synchro... - Study paves the way to investigate nano-machines in action
A team of scientists has used microwaves to unravel the exact structure of a tiny molecular motor. The nano-machine consists of just a single molecule, made up of 27 carbon and 20 hydrogen atoms (C...
- X-ray experiment opens new route to study biochemical reactions
With a powerful X-ray camera, scientists have watched a genetic switch at work for the first time. The study led by Yun-Xing Wang from the National Cancer Institute of the U.S. reveals the ultrafas...
- X-ray study images structural damage in lithium-ion batteries
Charging lithium-ion batteries too quickly can permanently reduce the battery capacity. Portions of the energy storage structure are thereby destroyed and deactivated. These structural changes have...
- Characterization of X-ray flashes opens new perspectives in X-ray science
Ultra-short and extremely strong X-ray flashes, as produced by free-electron lasers, are opening the door to a hitherto unknown world. Scientists are using these flashes to take "snapshots" of the ... - A new way to analyse delicate biomolecules
Using DESY's synchrotron light source PETRA III, scientists have pioneered a new way to analyse delicate biomolecules. The novel approach, borrowed from a new class of high-intensity X-ray sources ...
- The first atomic X-ray laser
In future, scientists should be able to observe more closely how plants generate sugar from the energy in sunlight or how electricity is generated from solar cells. Researchers at the Center for Fr...
