Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: RESOLV member Prof. V. Gessner reports the results of her investigations on how solvent selection affects the structure, stability, and breakdown of alkali metal carbenoids. This study examines the effects of solvent coordination and aggregation on carbenoid behavior and finds that toluene causes aggregation and quicker breakdown, whereas THF stabilizes lithium carbenoids as…

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Photosynthetic proteins can convert light energy into other forms of energy. Researchers want to make this technology usable for the industrial production of fuels, for example.

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.

JACS: RESOLV member Prof. L. Schäfer showed how 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

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

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: RESOLV PI Prof. G. Clever and RESOLV member Prof. M. Kasanmascheff developed a precise method to measure distances in DNA G-quadruplexes, advancing drug design by revealing how candidate molecules bind to these biologically important structures

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. R. 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…
