• Why fish don't freeze in the Arctic Ocean
  

  Together with cooperation partners from the U.S., the researchers surrounding Prof. Dr. Martina Havenith (Physical Chemistry II of the RUB) describe their discovery in a so-termed Rapid Communication in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). The journal's independent reviewers evaluate more

• Basque Country University researcher studies atom to atom cement

  2000 years after the Romans invented cement, this material is still the most commonly used in construction throughout the world. Its complex internal structure means that many questions about this material continue to have unsatisfactory answers. The PhD thesis by Mr Hegoi Manzano Moro at the Unive more

• Triathletes rely on silicones for every step, stroke and pedal
  

  For triathletes, the race might not be to the swift, but rather to those using the most silicone equipment to keep them dry, comfortable and hydrated. The latest swimming technology In competitive swimming, high-quality equipment is almost as essential as proper training. Clear underwater vision i more

• Automated Dynamic Light Scattering
  

  DLS analysis is a widely applied, non-invasive method for measuring the effective size of molecules in solution. This technique yields valuable information for the characterization of molecules and particles. It facilitates formerly laborious and time consuming measurements, e.g. screening for aggregates or determining optimal crystallization conditions for proteins. The Wyatt Plate Reader is the instrument of choice for any application where molecular size, stability and aggregation are of interest. It reads industry standard microplates with up to 1536 samples automatically and temperature-controlled, if desired. The applications of the technique are wide ranging and include many of the fastest growing areas of research - proteins, biomaterials, liposomes and micelles as well as the established uses for particle sizing and aggregation detection. Conscious of the numerous characterization challenges in the area of drug delivery systems and therapeutic antibodies more

• Absolute Molar Mass Characterisation
  

  Multi-angle light scattering coupled to SEC or other fractionation methods can provide an absolute means for measuring the molar mass, size and distribution of proteins, polymers and particles of all sorts. Wyatt Technology's MALS also enables the elucidation of additional data such as branching, conformation, and eluent behaviour. The same instrumentation also allows observation of molecular interactions in a real-time environment. As MALS is an absolute mass and size measuring technique it is insensitive to the separation mechanism and as such is ideal for both highly variable research applications as well as routine quality assurance of previously characterised samples more

• Effects of atmospheric relative humidity on Stratum Corneum structure at the molecular level: ex vivo Raman spectroscopy analysis

  Skin hydration plays an important role in the optimal physical properties and physiological function of the skin. Despite the advancements in the last decade, dry skin remains the most common characteristic of human skin disorders. Thus, it is important to understand the effect of hydration on Strat more

• Receptor Conformational Change Induces Fluoride Binding Despite Water Competition

  Fluoride binding by artificial receptors in water remains a challenging task due to the high hydration enthalpy of this anion. A cationic boron-based tripodal receptor featuring three flexible ammonium-containing arms has been prepared. Studies by NMR spectroscopy show that the receptor is capable o more

• Production & Market of Methylethyl Ketone in China

  Expanding domestic capacity, but still heavy dependency on import Although China manufacturers have made great efforts to expand their production capacity, they still can’t provide enough MEK to meet China's demand. At least, half of MEK needed in China has to be imported. With such a big gap betw more
