RESOLV Press Releases

The international Committee of Experts for the DFG Excellence Strategy has selected 88 draft proposals for future Clusters of Excellence. RESOLV is…

Nat. Comm.: For years, researchers had assumed that a highly unstable intermediate state had to exist in the reaction. No one was able to verify this.…

Nat. Comm.: Researchers use a simplified model of a protein network to explain how apoptosis is regulated, whose malfunction is linked to cancer and…

Angew. Chem.: The team led by Prof Dr Wolfram Sander from RESOLV showed that carbon atoms can tunnel.

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

Angew. Chem.: The envisaged industrial application necessitates catalysts to do their job for years. This new method could assist in achieving it.

Sci. Adv.: Researchers from Kaiserslautern, Bochum, and Rostock have developed a method for producing a petroleum diesel-like fuel from conventional…

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Chemists at the Centre for Electrochemical Sciences at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have developed a catalyst with self-healing…

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Chemists at RUB have developed a new method that allows them to map changes in the dynamics and structure of water molecules in…

German, Australian and American scientists have been given around 1.2 million euros of funding from the Human Frontier Science Program for three…

The European Research Council is supporting the catalyst research of Bochum-based scientist Beatriz Roldán Cuenya. She will receive one of the most…

Angew. Chem.: Efficiently producing and storing energy is a challenge for our society. A biocatalyst-polymer system could take on both tasks at once.

Nature Chem.: In proteins and rubber, they are indispensable: bonds between two sulphur atoms that link long molecules together. Pulling from outside…

Nat. Comm.: The solvent is far more than just the environment for a chemical reaction. A recent study reveals new insights into the role of solvent…

Europe’s leading conference for theoretical chemistry returns to Bochum after more than 30 years. It focuses on chemical processes in solutions.

Prof. Viktoria Däschlein-Gessner develops new ligand systems with unique bonding properties. For her research the European Research Council (ERC)…

Nat. Comm.: With the aid of platinum catalysts, it is possible to efficiently produce hydrogen. However, this metal is rare and expensive. Researchers…

PNAS: Water is liquid at room temperature – astounding for such a small molecule. Insights into the causes are provided by a new simulation method,…

Nat. Comm.: Converting the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into a useful chemical would be highly desirable. However, the catalysts available to date…

Angew. Chem.: Some living organisms thrive under extraordinary conditions, such as the deep sea. But just how do they withstand the enormous pressure?
