Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.:Carbon nanotubes not only shine brighter in the presence of dopamine, but also for longer. The time period of shining serves as a new parameter to detect biological messenger substances.

Chem. Sci: Using a new technique, researchers were able to observe live what happens in the first picosecond when a proton detaches from a dye after exposure to light.

Producing hydrogen from water and solar energy alone - researchers around the world are working on this sustainable path. Theoreticians support this development by identifying promising materials and methods. Prof. Kai S. Exner from the Department of Theoretical Inorganic Chemistry at the UDE has now been able to show that previous modeling was based on mechanisms that were too simple and…

Nuc. Aci. Res.: Revealing the critical aspect of defined motional features for affinity and specificity in the DNA/protein interaction, providing unexpected prospects for further design progress in this novel area of DNA recognition.

Phys. Rev. Lett.: An unexpected "inside-out" solvation pattern was observed by studying Cs+ hydration on a Cu(111) surface. Using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods they found Cs+ ions favoring the edges of water clusters on the metal surface and the formation of water-Cs complexes with multiple Cs+ ions.

PNAS: A new experiment has made it possible to observe the effects of an electron in solution on the surrounding liquid.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. : Protein dysfunctions contribute to diseases by undergoing two key processes: forming liquid droplets (LLPS) and creating solid clumps called amyloid fibrils.

Terahertz spectroscopy maps spontaneous formation of protein-rich droplets that may lead to neurodegenerative diseases.

Nat. Commun.: Inspired by function-rich biostructures, a host-guest system was formed that exhibits surprisingly low symmetry. In this way circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) emanating from the guest molecule, could be significantly improved.

A genetic modification can make hydrogen-producing enzymes more stable.
