- Stabilizing gold in very rare oxidation state +II
According to text book knowledge, the usual oxidation states of gold in compounds are +I and +III. The divalent form (+II), on the other hand, prefers to form polynuclear compounds or simply underg... - Copper hydroxide nanoparticles provide protection against toxic oxygen radicals in cigarette smoke
Chemists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have developed a technique that reduces the toxic effects of commercially available cigarettes. In spite of the fact that the World Health Orga...
- Measurements confirm position of lawrencium as final member of the actinide series
Thanks to a novel-type technique, a joint international research team has recently been able to measure lawrencium's first ionization energy. Lawrencium - element 103 - is a radioactive synthetic e...
- Chemical bond between a superheavy element and a carbon atom established for the first time
An international collaboration led by research groups from Mainz and Darmstadt has achieved the synthesis of a new class of chemical compounds for superheavy elements at the RIKEN Nishina Center fo... - Immunologists discover immune system precursor cells that fight infection
The innate immune system recognizes infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria. A group of lymphocytes known as "innate lymphoid cells" or ILCs plays a central role in the defense of the human ... - Improved mass spectrometric method for proteomic analyses
When it comes to analyzing cell components or body fluids or developing new medications, there is no way around mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry is a highly sensitive method of measurement that...
- Innovative nano-nensors for multiple proteins developed
Chemists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have developed a new method for parallel protein analysis that is, in principle, capable of identifying hundreds or even thousands of different... - Determination of Atomic Binding Energy of the Rarest Element on Earth
The radioactive element astatine, the name of which is derived from the Greek word for 'instability,' is so rare on earth that it has not yet been investigated to any greater extent and, as a conse... - New DNA test identifies ingredients in foods
Almost all foodstuffs contain the genetic material of those animal and plant species that were used in their preparation. Scientists at the Institute of Molecular Genetics, Genetic Security Researc...
- Research on the Aerosol Composition in the Upper Atmosphere
Professor Dr. Stephan Borrmann receives a grant of EUR 2.75 million from the European Research Council (ERC) for research into the chemical composition of aerosols and clouds in the upper atmospher... - Mechanism of aerosol aging identified
tmospheric aerosol particles have a significant effect on climate. An international team of researchers has now discovered that a chemical process in the atmosphere called aging determines to a maj... - Gold nanoantennas detect proteins
Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany have developed a new method of observing individual proteins. Detailed knowledge of the dynamics of proteins is necessary in order...
- Mössbauer Group of Mainz University is preparing for participation in Japanese Moon mission
The Mössbauer Group at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), Germany, has made a significant contribution towards the exploration of Mars during its long-term cooperation with the US space age... - Laboratory for Molecular Exercise Physiology at Mainz University is up and running
Specialists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany develop tests to detect gene doping and individual exercise concepts for therapeutic purposes as well as for popular sports and for high-...
- Gene doping detectable with a simple blood test
Scientists at the universities in Tübingen and Mainz have developed a test that can provide conclusive proof of gene doping. "For the first time, a direct method is now available that uses conventi...
