What a toy: a tiny gyroscope that would fit in a human cell and that can be controlled from the outside.

A new method can measure the electrical (re-)charging of boundary layers between very small, metallic particles and aqueous solutions and understand it at a molecular level.

Research into promising materials is hampered by the sheer number of possible candidates. A German-Danish team has developed an efficient method to solve this problem.

PNAS.:When charged particles enter the boundary layer between a liquid and an electrode, they first have to strip off their water shells.

PNAS: Researchers have developed a strategy to use supercomputers to tackle the threat of diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

J. Chem. Theory Comput.: RESOLV researchers, led by Prof. Marx, Prof. Neese, and Prof. Kast, joined their expertise of Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics, Coupled Cluster Electronic Structure Methods, and Liquid-State Theory to accurately compute isotropic hyperfine constants of nitroxide probes in water.

When less than two nanometers of space is available, there is a traffic jam in the proton transport network.

JACS: Nanosized cages offer way to stabilize and study reactive fullerene radicals in solution.

Nat. Cat.: An enzyme could make a dream come true for the energy industry: It can efficiently produce hydrogen using electricity and can also generate electricity from hydrogen.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Solvation scientists from TU Dortmund University have gained new insights into the structure and properties of the protein ribonucleotide reductase in living cells.
