Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: RESOLV members Prof. E. Sanchez-Garcia, Prof. W. Sander and Prof. K. Morgenstern demonstrate a new functional molecular system with a combination of several advanced features, including a self-assembled oligomer, surface chirality, chirality switching, and finally their motion on the surface.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: RESOLV spokeperson Prof. M. Havenith's study addresses the challenge of distinguishing between hydrophilic and hydrophobic contributions to hydration free energies—an essential step toward a deeper understanding of biological processes. By applying THz calorimetry, the team linked specific THz spectral signatures to group-specific solvation entropy and enthalpy. This…

Hydrogen is considered as the fuel of the future. Hydrogenases are enzymes that optimize the reversible oxidation of molecular hydrogen and therefore serve as blueprints for green and cost-effective hydrogen production.

This Account aims to provide rationales for the effects of solvation on tunneling reactions derived from experiments performed in cryogenic matrices.

Carbon nanotubes glow brighter in the presence of neurotransmitters. This facilitates the easy and accurate measurement of signals between nerve cells.

Nature: RESOLV PI Prof. B. List reports the development of broadly applicable confined organocatalysts for the highly enantioselective cyanosilylation of aromatic and aliphatic ketones.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Two RESOLV members Prof. L. Gooßen and Prof. S. Waldvogel's study introduces the effective electrochemical synthesis of concentrated peroxodicarbonate solutions and their potential use as platform oxidizers was clearly demonstrated in transformations including sulfoxidation, N-oxidation, and epoxidation.

What a toy: a tiny gyroscope that would fit in a human cell and that can be controlled from the outside.

A new method can measure the electrical (re-)charging of boundary layers between very small, metallic particles and aqueous solutions and understand it at a molecular level.

Research into promising materials is hampered by the sheer number of possible candidates. A German-Danish team has developed an efficient method to solve this problem.
