- Gaining new insights into the life of bacteria with gel and water
Chlamydia organise their genetic material with the help of lipids. This is shown by a new study from the University of Würzburg. This unexpected alliance could change our current understanding of h...
- The smallest pixel in the world
Physicists at the University of Würzburg have developed extremely small pixels using optical antennas and a clever design. These can be used in compact AR glasses, for example. Smart glasses, i... - Rapid test for Influenza viruses: Simply taste your way to infection
Influenza is much more than just a nasty cold - it is one of the most dangerous infectious diseases worldwide, claiming around half a million lives every year. What makes it particularly insidio... - Boron instead of metal: Making heavy metals redundant in the chemical industry
Eliminating toxic and expensive heavy metals in the chemical industry: A new publication from the University of Würzburg Chemistry points the way forward. The team led by chemistry professor Ho... - Use of innovative RNA technology to intervene in phage reproduction
Phages are viruses that infect bacteria. Using phages therapeutically could be very useful in fighting antibiotic-resistant pathogens, but the molecular interactions between phages and host bacteri... - New method of single-cell transcriptomics
Not all individuals in a population of bacteria are identical. Some may be on the verge of cell division, others are differentiating, others are in the process of adapting to changing environmental... - A further step towards artificial photosynthesis
With artificial photosynthesis, mankind could utilise solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Würzburg chemists have taken this one step further. Photosynthesis is a marvellou...
- Plant Guard Cells can Count Environmental Stimuli
Plants adapt their water consumption to environmental conditions by counting and calculating environmental stimuli with their guard cells. Plant researchers from Würzburg report this in 'Current Bi... - Chemical tool developed for infection research
Researchers from Würzburg and Berlin present a new molecule for visualising the sphingomyelin metabolism. This offers prospects for innovative therapeutic approaches in infection research. At t... - New Consortium Aims to Develop More Sustainable Sodium-based Batteries
The batteries of the future must be both powerful and sustainable. A new joint project, coordinated by the University of Würzburg, aims to make sodium-ion batteries ready to fulfill for these requi...
- A previously unknown form of hydrogel formation has been elucidated
Hydrogels? Many people use these substances without knowing it. As superabsorbents in nappies, for example, hydrogels absorb a lot of liquid. In the process, the initially dry material becomes Jell...
- CO2: From a greenhouse gas to an industrial raw material
Rather than being released into the atmosphere and exacerbating the problem of climate change, CO2 can also be used as a raw material for substances required in industrial processes, such as formic... - Artificial enzyme splits water
Progress has been made on the path to sunlight-driven production of hydrogen. Chemists from Würzburg present a new enzyme-like molecular catalyst for water oxidation. Mankind is facing a centra... - Precision antibacterials - RNA-based antibiotics
Similar to the vaccines against the coronavirus, RNA-based antibiotics could significantly improve modern medicine. Research teams from Würzburg have investigated the prerequisites that such antibi... - New CRISPR Element Regulates Viral Defense
Researchers from Würzburg, Freiburg and Leipzig discover a mechanism for prioritizing the immune response in bacteria. What tasks need to be done today, and which is the most urgent? People hav...
- Expansion microscopy allows the imaging of even the finest details of cell membranes
Expansion microscopy (ExM) enables the imaging of cells and their components with a spatial resolution far below 200 nanometres. For this purpose, the proteins of the sample under investigation are... - A funnel of light
Physicists of the University of Würzburg, in a joint collaboration with colleagues from the University of Rostock, have developed a light funnel apparatus. It could serve as a new platform for hype...
- Virus multiplication in 3D
Vaccinia viruses serve as a vaccine against human smallpox and as the basis of new cancer therapies. Two studies now provide fascinating insights into their unusual propagation strategy at the atom...
- Enhanced fluorescence microscopy to label and visualise different cell structures simultaneously
Fluorescence microscopy allows researchers to visualise biomolecules in cells. They label the molecules using fluorescent probes, excite them with light and use the fluorescence thus triggered to g...
- New technique for measuring nanostructures
Scientists from the University of Würzburg have managed to take a unique look at the membranes of human cells using a new technique. This technique that they have devised makes individual saccharif... - Sucessful determination of the state of a quantum mechanical system
Processes on the atomic scale can only be described accurately by using the laws of quantum mechanics. Physicists at the University of Würzburg have now succeeded for the first time to completely d...
- Tin for faster chips
Intensive research is being conducted worldwide on a material that promises a revolution in data processing. For the first time ever, physicists have now produced this from a very simple substance.... - A New Type of Laser
University of Würzburg physicists have succeeded in creating a new type of laser. Its operation principle is completely different from conventional devices, which opens up the possibility of a sign... - Tracing Photochemical Reactions
When light hits organic molecules, it triggers processes that are of considerable interest to scientists. But the individual steps of the reaction are very hard to identify. A study group at the Un... - Proteins on the Stretching Rack
When proteins change their fold, this can lead to fatal consequences. Scientists of a European research network are looking for new methods to predict and control the behavior of these molecules. P...
