The Royal Society of Chemistry has selected an article of RESOLV member Prof. Martina Havenith and her group for the collection of the most popular articles from 2025 in the field of physical chemistry.

It is not easy to follow the interactions of large molecules with water in real time. But this can be easier to hear than to see. This is how an international team deciphered the role of water in the collapse of PNIPAM.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: RESOLV members Prof. Wolfram Sander and Dr. André K. Eckhardt report the development of a matrix isolation experiment utilizing a closed-cycle helium cryostat operating at 2.5 K, enabling electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements in solid para-hydrogen (p-H₂) matrices.

RESOLV member Prof. Elsa Sanchez-Garcia and a group of researchers present, CLR01 and CLR05 based advanced molecular tweezers that reveal a dual mechanism of action, choline binding and hydrophobic insertion, that underpins the broad-spectrum antiviral activity of advanced molecular tweezers and establish them as a promising new class of membrane-targeting antivirals for prophylactic and…

RESOLV member Prof. L. Schäfer, together with Michaela Blech and Tobias Prass, is conducting research on the composition of antibody drugs. A new computer model could help predict and improve antibody drug formulations, with the goal of enabling patients to administer these medications themselves at home.

RESOLV members Prof. K. F. Winklhofer and Prof. J. Tatzelt, together with an international research team, have deciphered a critical mechanism underlying these processes, focusing on the protein optineurin.

J. Am. Chem. Soc.: RESOLV member Prof. Guido H. Clever and his team report the synthesis of a series of flexible bidentate pyridyl ligands featuring crown ether-based backbones with ring sizes ranging from 15 to 30 atoms.

RESOLV member Prof. Simon Ebbinghaus and his team have examined one of these proteins more closely and described its dynamic behavior.

Nature: RESOLV members Prof. Frank Neese's and Prof. Benjamin List’s working groups have collaborated to develop a novel reaction that enables the synthesis of stable, open-chain amines with nitrogen chirality. The scientists published their groundbreaking results in Nature.

RESOLV members Prof. Kristina Tschulik, Prof. Martin Muhler, and Prof. Harun Tüysüz discovered a way to keep a cobalt-based oxide electrocatalyst active and stable.
