Nat. Commun.: RESOLV members Prof. Kai Exner and Prof. Christof Hättig show that oxygen evolution can proceed in a concerted manner, which could be a game-changer for catalyst design in green hydrogen.

Adv. Sci.: RESOLV member Prof. Happe, in collaboration with researchers from Ruhr University Bochum, has created a miniature biocatalyst for hydrogen production. It works efficiently with electrons from photosynthesis.

Nat. Rev. Chem.: Water is not just a background - it’s an active player," says Professor Martina Havenith-Newen, spokesperson of RESOLV. With their new terahertz calorimetry method, her team reveals water’s hidden role in driving life’s chemistry - in real time.

RESOLV Member, Dr. Andre K. Eckhardt and co-workers present a study describing the generation and matrix isolation of a dibenzophosphole-based P-centered radical.

Despite its abundance, there are still many unanswered questions about water's behaviour. RESOLV doctoral researcher Adrian Buchmann explains in his Science Slam how science is trying to unravel the mystery of water. Watch the full video!

JACS: Two RESOLV researchers from RUB, Prof. Schäfer and Prof. Happe, newly detected that [FeFe]-hydrogenase from a thermophilic bacterium is not degraded by oxygen.

ChemCatCem: Three RESOLV research groups, led by Prof. E. Sanchez-Garcia, Prof. R. Winter, and Prof. G. Sadowski, teamed up to uncover how TMAO and sorbitol influence the catalytic power of Candida boidinii formate dehydrogenase. Their cutting-edge study made it to the journal’s Hot Topic section - don’t miss it!

J. Phys. Chem.: Joint publication RESOLV members Prof. M. Sulpizi and Prof. S. Ebbinghaus. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), one of the biologically most important molecules, offers certain anomalous behavior during folding and liquid–liquid phase separation of proteins and RNAs. ATP can act as a “biological hydrotrope”, i.e., it solubilizes hydrophobic proteins or other biomolecules. However, upon…

Adv. Mater. Interfaces: Joint publication RESOLV members Prof. R. Kramer Campen and Dr. M. Rabe. Metal nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized on molecularly modified supports form versatile hybrid materials, offering extensive combinatorial flexibility and synergistic interactions between the organic and inorganic components, making them ideal for applications such as catalysis, and sensing. In…

Surf. Sci.: Joint publication RESOLV members Prof. U. Bovensiepen and Prof. K. Morgenstern. Light is a preeminent spectroscopic tool for investigating the electronic structure of surfaces. Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy has mainly been developed in the last 30 years. It is therefore not surprising that the topic was hardly mentioned in the issue on “The first thirty years” of surface…
