When exposed to high temperatures and pressure, water enters a state in which liquid and gas can no longer be distinguished. For a long time, there has been controversy about how this looks like on a molecular level.

A research team based in Bochum and Mülheim is using a new type of salt to specifically produce one of two possible mirror-image molecules.

Oxygen can destroy hydrogen-producing enzymes. Researchers from Bochum and Osaka have discovered how an extraordinary protein survives in the presence of oxygen.

Researchers have gained valuable insight into the development of prion diseases of the brain.

They are highly selective and can be easily separated from the reaction mixture: single-atom catalysts combine the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.

Covalent organic framework compounds are more active as catalysts than one would expect. Researchers have now discovered why.

Water and the bad smelling molecule hydrogen sulphide do not seem to have a lot in common at first sight. However, when investing a little energy, some differences disappear.

The energy carrier hydrogen can be obtained from water by electrolysis. This works particularly well with Cobalt spinel electrocatalysts containing manganese. However, it was unclear why.

Nanotubes can serve as biosensors. They change their fluorescence when they bind to certain molecules. Until now, it was unclear why. Researchers have gained new insights into the cause of the fluorescence.

Nature: RESOLV PI Benjamin List and his team discribe a process of converting homofarnesol into ambrox, using a special catalyst that ensures the reaction happens in a specific, controlled way.
