PNAS: Optimising electrochemical processes is one of the challenges in developing technologies for renewable energies. New research findings could provide assistance here.

JACS: Carbenes strongly interact with metal surfaces at the atomic level, solvation scientists show.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (Hot Paper): RESOLV scientists reinvent popular dyes into new structures with promising functions.

Angew.Chem.: Photosynthetic proteins can convert light energy into other forms of energy. Researchers want to make this technology usable for the industrial production of fuels, for example.

Angew. Chem.: Analyzing nanoparticles individually is a challenge precisely because they are so small. A new technique using electron microscopy and a robotic arm could make the process much easier.

PNAS: An international research team has investigated water molecules in a tiny cage – and discovered previously unknown properties.

Nat. Comm.: Luminous carbon nanotubes detect pathogens – and are quick and easy to use.

Angew. Chem.: Nowadays, it is easy to determine an average pH for larger quantities of liquid. It is a challenge, however, to define a local pH value

Angew.Chem.: RESOLV collaboration shines light on a jammed topic.

Angew. Chem.: Carboanhydrase hCAII has found its way into the textbooks of drug discovery as a drug target with a particularly rigid active pocket. With the help of detailed NMR spectroscopic analysis, the group of Prof. Dr. Rasmus Linser has now been able to show that this picture needs to be revised, which advises caution when interpreting classical structural data for estimating the "dynamic…
