RESOLV Press Releases

Angew. Chem.: Analyzing nanoparticles individually is a challenge precisely because they are so small. A new technique using electron microscopy and a…

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

For establishing THz-Spectroscopy as a powerful new tool to study the role of water.

Nanoparticles for green catalysis

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

Angew.Chem.: Bacterial enzymes are often powerful but also very sensitive catalysts. To call up their performance, they therefore need a special…

Angew.Chem.: Efficient catalysts are crucial for energy conversion. However, findings from basic research rarely make it into practice at present.

PNAS: In hydrogenase enzymes, the transports of protons and electrons have been considered to be separate events until now. However, coupling is the…

Angew.Chem.: Until now, unwanted by-products have always been produced during the reactions. The catalyst opens up new applications.

Tiny drops of blood are expected to provide millions of data points for big-data analysis in personalised medicine. In order to expand this concept,…

ACS Cat.: Some catalysts show remarkable high activity. Thanks to water.

JPC Lett.: Studied in detail, the embedding of hydrophobic molecules in water looks quite different than previously assumed.

J.Mat.Chem.A: By combining light-collecting and photosynthesis proteins of different types, more energy can be produced.

Blazing fast material changes and measurements in the range of femtoseconds: Those are the core aspects of the CRC 1242 of the faculty of physics at…

The Center for Advanced Liquid-phase Engineering DOrtmund will be the second solvation science building in the world! Funded by the Federal Government…

Angew.Chem.: Water may look like a simple liquid. However, it is anything but simple to analyse. The unique properties of water are only…

Nat.Comm.: Oxygen is the greatest enemy of biocatalysts for energy conversion. A protective film shields them – but only with an additional…
