- New Consortium Aims to Develop More Sustainable Sodium-based Batteries
The batteries of the future must be both powerful and sustainable. A new joint project, coordinated by the University of Würzburg, aims to make sodium-ion batteries ready to fulfill for these requi...
- New deep-sea enzyme breaks down PET plastic
Plastic pollution is increasingly affecting the health of coasts and oceans. One well-known problem is plastic bottles made from polyethylene terephthalate, or PET. A new study involving scientists... - windCORES: new infrastructure with data centres in wind farms
High-performance computing, or HPC, has become a key method in many scientific areas, including pharmaceutical and climate research. However, data centres with energy-intensive supercomputers produ... - More visibility for innivative women in science
Shedding more light on the innovative work of women and their achievements in the scholarly context is the focus of a research project led by Prof. Dr Christiane Schwieren. A researcher at the Alfr...
- Detecting food fraud - thanks to light quanta
When shopping in the supermarket, consumers must be able to rely on the food label. But is it always correct? In the joint project QSPEC, the LZH and its partners want to develop a new analysis met... - Sustainable batteries based on Calcium and Sulfur
Our society is becoming increasingly electrified - and electrochemical energy storage in the form of batteries is playing a central role in providing the energy we need. At the same time, however, ... - Exploring technetium in the environment
With a half-life of about 210.000 years, the radioactive isotope technetium-99 (99Tc), which is produced in nuclear reactors by fission of the uranium isotope 235U, plays a central role in the ques... - Safe and efficient transport of Hydrogen: energy in Iron and its Oxides
Transporting green-generated energy in form of iron: That is the vision of a project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and coordinated by the University of Duisburg-Es... - New research network for RNA-based drugs
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) will fund a so-called future cluster for research and development into RNA-based therapeutics. The network is led by researchers from th...
- How SARS-Coronaviruses reprogram the human cell to their own benefit
Coronavirus researchers under Prof. Rolf Hilgenfeld of the University of Lübeck and Dr. Albrecht von Brunn of the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich published a research breakthrough in the hi... - Mine water as valuable water resource and important recyclables provider
Technological progress is not possible without raw materials from mines - e-mobility or digitalization come to mind. However, in order to minimize the subsequent ecological damages of mining, a con...
- Just how virtual can research be?
Even at the best of times, it can be difficult coordinating joint projects and research, especially if partners are spread across different countries - or unable to travel because of a major intern...
- Dynamic pattern of Skyrmions observed
Tiny magnetic vortices known as skyrmions form in certain magnetic materials, such as Cu2OSeO3. These skyrmions can be controlled by low-level electrical currents - which could facilitate more ener... - A waste stream from food production is a valuable alternative for petroleum
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany, in collaboration with colleagues from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg in South Africa and the University of ... - Development of a miniaturised EPR spectrometer
Several research institutions are developing a miniaturized electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) device with industrial partner Bruker to investigate semiconductor materials, solar cells, catalyst...
- Developing innovative electrolytic cell
Working together with external partners, chemists, materials scientists and chemical engineers at FAU have developed an innovative microcell for water electrolysis.They hope to replace standard pla... - Research project aims to more accurately detect microplastics in the water
A new joint research project headed by the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) wants to find out how microplastics end up in the water. The project aims to optimise representativ... - A global effort to fight resistant pathogens
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Researc h is joining forces with international partners in a new initiative to promote research into antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim is to fight... - Tailor-made synthesis of cyclic chemicals by means of enzymes
Penicillin-based antibiotics contain a five-membered hydrocarbon cycle, additionally incorporating a sulfur and a nitrogen atom. Nadine Zumbrägel, doctoral student at the Chair of Organic Chemistry...
- Electric impulses clean Industrial water and paints
Most paints for households or industry are based on water and, hence, are environmentally more compatible than paints based on solvents. Water-based paints, however, have one drawback: Microorganis...
- Innovative process chain for Methanol Synthesis from renewables
To reduce the consumption of fossil materials in the future, renewable resources are planned to supply basic substances for chemical industry. Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) now cooperates... - High pressure reduces adsorption capacity of metal-organic frameworks
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can store gases such as methane in their surface interstices, or pores. Now teams from the Technische Universität Dresden and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) have pre... - Sustainable Processing of Rare Earths
Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) are developing a new strategy for processing the Vietnamese "Nam Xe" rare earth ore deposits in an environmentally frie...
- Neutrons explain aging process in lithium ion batteries
A key issue with lithium ion batteries is aging. It significantly reduces their potential storage capacity. To date, very little is known about the causes of the aging effects. Scientists from the ... - Finding valuable materials in metallurgical dumps
Since metallic raw materials are scarce in Germany, it is reliant on imports. Yet some of these valuable materials are lying around unnoticed in dumps. Fraunhofer researchers are now compiling a Ge...
