- Signs of life detectable in single ice grains emitted from moons orbiting Saturn and Jupiter
The ice-encrusted oceans of some of the moons orbiting Saturn and Jupiter are prime candidates in the search for extraterrestrial life. A new lab-based study led by Freie Universität Berlin and the... - Computer-engineered DNA to study cell identities
A new computer program allows scientists to design synthetic DNA segments that indicate, in real time, the state of cells. Reported by the Gargiulo lab in "Nature Communications", it will be used t...
- A new generation of antimicrobial peptides
The application of artificial intelligence methods for the generation of antimicrobial peptides will be the subject of research in the Deep Optimised Generation of AntiMicrobial Peptide (DOG-AMP) p... - Hydrogen research: million in funding for the search for better catalysts
atalysts should be efficient and durable. To find them, four research teams are systematically working together on new concepts. They are being funded by the European Research Council (ERC) with 10... - When the ocean becomes a source of carbon dioxide
With a Starting Grant of 1.5 million euros, the European Research Council (ERC) will fund the work of climate researcher Dr Ivy Frenger from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel o... - Speed up drug development with AI to create stable and therapeutically effective medication
ERC Proof-of-Concept Grant for Alexandre Tkatchenko to discover ideal drug formulations using machine learning, molecular crystals, quantum mechanics and high-performance-computing. The physicis... - Using ammonia for sustainable iron- and steelmaking
When it comes to sustainability and green steel, everybody talks about hydrogen. But current means of storing and transporting hydrogen request high pressures and low temperatures, which are both e... - EMBO Press to be fully Open Access
From 2024 on, all papers published in The EMBO Journal and EMBO Reports and the source data in all European Molecular Biology Organization's (EMBO) Press journals will be freely accessible with CC-... - Interrogating disease progression and cell processes in vivo and non-invasively
Do we simply ingest a diagnostic probiotic based on programmed ribonucleic acids to analyze the intestinal health from individual cells in the future? Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA... - New type of CRISPR gene scissors could advance molecular biology diagnostics
It is an unexpected discovery by scientists at the Helmholtz Institute Würzburg in cooperation with Benson Hill, Inc. (Missouri) and Utah State University in the U.S.: They have found a nuclease, w...
- Making it easier to differentiate mirror-image molecules
Using a new method, scientists are better able to distinguish between mirror-image substances. This is important amongst others in drug development, because the two variants can cause completely di... - Nano-sensor detects pesticides on fruit in minutes
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a tiny sensor for detecting pesticides on fruit in just a few minutes. The technique, described as a proof-of-concept in a paper in the... - New hope for broad spectrum viral entry inhibitors
A large number of viruses are known to make life difficult for both humans and animals. While broad-spectrum antibiotics can offer protection against a wide variety of bacteria, there are currently... - Environmentally-friendly coatings
Polyethylene (PE) is one of today's most important types of plastic. It is used in a wide range of everyday objects - from plastic bottles to pipes, ski coatings and toys. In the form of PE dispers... - Unexpected energy storage capability where water meets metal surfaces
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. Researchers from the...
- Visualising cell structures in three dimensions in mere minutes
Viral pathogens like the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus change the interior structure of the cells they infect. These changes occur at the level of individual cell components - the organelles - and can pro... - First synthesis and complete characterisation of Silicon with a two-dimensional structure
Silicon, a semi-metal, bonds in its natural form with four other elements and its three-dimensional structure takes the form of a tetrahedron. For a long time, it seemed impossible to achieve the s...
- Indirect impacts of a pandemic on women in science
On 9 September, EMBL hosted a conference to discuss the indirect impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on women in science. As one of the speakers noted, the pandemic has been a torrential storm. But... - Exchange of arms between chromosomes using molecular scissors
The CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors work like a fine surgical instrument and can be used to modify genetic information in plants. The research teams of Professor Holger Puchta of Karlsruhe Institute ...
- New spectroscopic method to map the Energetic Landscape of Solar Cells
It was developed by a research team led by Prof. Dr Yana Vaynzof, a physicist at Heidelberg University. This novel visualisation technique enables scientists to study the physical principles of org... - New synthesis method for fluorinated piperidines
Synthetic molecules are essential for many products in our lives: medicines, crop protection agents or special materials such as Teflon. These molecules have several components, which can be combin...
- App-controlled revolution for drug production
A radical new method of producing drug molecules, which uses downloadable blueprints to easily and reliably synthesise organic chemicals via a programmable 'chemputer', could be set to democratise ... - Novel X-ray microscope to produce microstructural images in situ and in vivo
An interdisciplinary team of scientists will develop a new imaging method to investigate osteoporosis and other bone diseases in living subjects. Prof. Silke Christiansen, a scientist at HZB and ph... - Liquid battery could lead to flexible energy storage
A new type of energy storage system could revolutionise energy storage and drop the charging time of electric cars from hours to seconds. In a new paper published in the journal Nature Chemistry... - Robot chemist discovers new molecules and reactions
A new type of artificial-intelligence-driven chemistry could revolutionise the way molecules are discovered, scientists claim. In a new paper published in the journal Nature, chemists from the Univ...
