- Glyphosate can come from detergent additives
Certain detergent additives known as aminopolyphosphonates can be transformed into glyphosate and other problematic substances when wastewater is treated. A research team led by Professor Stefan Ha... - Tool identifies specific viruses to combat dangerous bacteria
University of Tübingen research team shortens the search for attackers that can wipe out multiresistant pathogens - with the aim of treating infections without antibiotics. A newly developed lab...
- The changing climate could increase mobility of toxic metals in soils
The changes scientists expect in the climate could cause the toxic metals naturally occurring in soils to become more mobile, destabilize ecosystems and increasingly enter the human food chain via ... - Most of the glyphosate in our rivers may not come from farming
Herbicide use in agriculture and urban areas may not be the dominant source of glyphosate in European waters, says University of Tübingen study - Far-reaching implications for industry and politics...
- Biosurfactants might offer an environmentally friendly solution for tackling oil spills
Oil leaks into the oceans are estimated at approximately 1500 million liters annually worldwide. This leads to globally significant environmental pollution, as oil contains hazardous compounds such... - Study leads to lowering of the EU environmental limit for the painkiller ibuprofen
A study by researchers from the Universities of Tübingen and Athens has found that the toxicity of chemicals in lakes and rivers may vary by several orders of magnitude depending on the water's aci...
- Microbes living under extreme conditions - parallels with Martian environment
At the mouth of the Rio Tinto in southwestern Spain, acidic river water - polluted with heavy metals from ore mining and mineral weathering - mixes with the salt water of the Atlantic Ocean. Here, ...
- New rapid test to detect coronavirus antibodies
An international research team involving the universities of Paraná (Brazil) and Tübingen (Germany) has developed a rapid test that can reliably identify Covid-19 antibodies in the blood within min...
- A new miniature NMR implant measures neuronal activity
A team of neuroscientists and electrical engineers from Germany and Switzerland developed a highly sensitive implant that enables to probe brain physiology with unparalleled spatial and temporal re...
- Waste in the water - New purification techniques for healthier aquatic ecosystems
Even tiny amounts of toxins in rivers and lakes can endanger aquatic organisms. The public has become more aware of this environmental problem in recent years. Trace amounts of toxins found in our ... - One for all: super-resolution microscopy with one universal nanobody
To make cellular structures easily accessible for super-resolution microscopy, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, the Natural and Medical Sciences Insti...
- Production of drop-in fuel by combined microbial and electrochemical conversion
Researchers at Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ), the University of Tübingen, Cornell University, and Deutsche Biomasseforschungszentrum (DBFZ) have shown that the combination of mi... - New biosensors to detect drugs in water more quickly
Biologists from the University of Tübingen are part of an interdisciplinary team which has developed novel biosensors that enable pharmaceutical products to be detected more effectively in water. T...
- Real-Time observation of nonclassical protein crystallization kinetics
A major hurdle in structural biology and pharmacology is growing crystals to determine the structure of the biomolecules and pharmaceuticals under study. Researchers at the University of Tübingen, ...
