- 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...
- Tracking down the mystery of matter
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have measured a property of the neutron more precisely than ever before. In the process they found out that the elementary particle has a significantl... - Determining the molecular structures of proteins using cryo-electron microscopy
Researchers have used cryo-electron microscopy to elucidate for the first time the structure and function of a very small enzyme embedded in cell membranes. This enzyme builds complex sugar trees t...
- Measurement of noble gases in Antarctic ice cores
The average sea temperature is an essential parameter of the global climate - but it is very difficult to measure. At least until now, because an international team of researchers including Empa sc...
- Cryo-electron microscopy allows new insights into the function of toxins
Molecular biologists at the University of Bern have discovered a mechanism which enables a deadly toxin to penetrate and destroy human cells. Their findings can serve a rational framework for the d... - Glutathione as a protective shield against Uranium
Microorganisms can better withstand the heavy metal uranium when glutathione is present, a molecule composed of three amino acids. Scientists from the German based Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossend...
- Successful recording of current in membrane channels of contracting cardiac cells
For the first time, scientists have succeeded in recording the current in membrane channels of contracting cardiac cells. To do this, the scientists combined an atomic force microscope with a widel...
- Engineered liposomes a possible alternative to antibiotics
Scientists from the University of Bern have developed a novel substance for the treatment of severe bacterial infections without antibiotics, which would prevent the development of antibiotic resis...
