- Leibniz Prize 2015 announced for discovery of a new family of antibiotics
Nature harbours some of the most effective treatments for diseases - however, identifying and analysing these substances is a major scientific challenge. Prof. Dr. Christian Hertweck is one of the ... - Characterization of X-ray flashes opens new perspectives in X-ray science
Ultra-short and extremely strong X-ray flashes, as produced by free-electron lasers, are opening the door to a hitherto unknown world. Scientists are using these flashes to take "snapshots" of the ... - Mechanism for aroma formation in wine pinpointed
The majority of wines are produced from around 20 different types of grape, all of which have their own typical aroma. This is due to the terpenes, a diverse category of chemical substances includi... - Chemical reaction yields "tapes" of porphin molecules
Dr. Wilhelm Auwärter and his team are working on a research project to develop tiny flat molecule tapes at the Department of Physics of Technische Universität München (TUM). These structures could ... - Imaging method improved by scrambling X-rays from a new source
X-ray phase-contrast imaging can provide high-quality images of objects with lower radiation dose. But until now these images have been hard to obtain and required special X-ray sources whose prope... - Protein identified as important trigger of antiviral response
Cells have to protect themselves: against damage in their genetic material for one thing, but also against attack from the outside, by viruses for example. They do this by using different mechanism... - Efficient catalysts convert carbon dioxide to methane
When clouds cloak the sun, the production of solar power drops abruptly. When the wind lulls, wind parks quit producing energy. On the other hand, there are days on which wind power stations must b... - The "thousand-droplets test": Chemical reactions in artificial cell-scale systems show surprising diversity
In the future, an entire chemistry lab could be accommodated in a tiny little droplet. While simple reactions already work in these simplest models of an artificial cell now a group of scientists o... - Statistical methods improve biological single-cell analysis
Stem cells can turn into heart cells, skin cells can mutate to cancer cells; even cells of the same tissue type exhibit small heterogeneities. Scientists use single-cell analysis to investigate the...
- Scientists at the TU München detect glycidamid in crisps and French fries
The discovery of acrylamid in heated foodstuffs sent shockwaves around the world in 2002. Subsequent improvements in production methods enabled the food industry to reduce levels of acrylamid. Howe... - Scientists of the TU Muenchen reveal the key flavors of bourbon whiskey
Whiskey is famous for its unique aroma combining smoky, malty odors with a characteristic sweet, vanilla-like flavor note, in particular, in American Bourbon-whiskeys. Over the last 40 years more t...
