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.

High-performance computers allow us to uncover details about the transport of molecules through cell membranes.

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.: DNA G-qua­dru­plexes play important roles in biological processes and have been identified as promising drug targets, e.g. in anticancer research. In an interdisciplinary collaboration between the laboratories of Prof. Guido Clever and Jun.-Prof. Müge Kasanmascheff, both at TU Dort­mund University, a method for the precise distance measurement in pairs of G-qua­dru­plexes with or…

ACS Cat: How supercritical carbon dioxide influences the electrochemical reduction of CO2

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…

PNAS: A small but important step towards a successful immune reaction is performed by an impressive nanomachine. Researchers use simulations to understand how it works.
