A team of researchers has gained new insights into a protein network that controls programmed cell death – which was a methodological challenge.

The team led by Prof Dr Wolfram Sander and Tim Schleif from RESOLV showed that carbon atoms can tunnel.

Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanisms with which certain proteins help the immune defence mechanism in the human body.

A mixture of catalyst and polymer could be sprayed on an electrode surface, which is then transferred into an oven...

Researchers from Kaiserslautern, Bochum, and Rostock have developed a method for producing a petroleum diesel-like fuel from conventional biodiesel at low temperatures.

Chemists at the Centre for Electrochemical Sciences at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have developed a catalyst with self-healing properties.

Chemists at RUB have developed a new method that allows them to map changes in the dynamics and structure of water molecules in the vicinity of solutes.

Not only proteins, but also RNA molecules could have contributed to important catalytic functions during the creation of life.

Efficiently producing and storing energy is a challenge for our society. A biocatalyst-polymer system could take on both tasks at once. Prof. Wolfgang Schuhmann and coworkers report in "Angewandte Chemie".

Pulling from outside on disulphite bonds triggers unexpectedly complicated processes. A team headed by Prof Dominik Marx found out what happens in detail during this process. They report their results in “Nature Chemistry”.
