• Catalyst deposition on fragile chips
  

  Electrocatalysts can help to obtain chemicals from renewable raw materials or to use alternative energy sources. But testing new catalysts brings challenges. Researchers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and the University of Duisburg-Essen have developed a new method of depositing catalyst parti more

• Making high-temperature superconductivity disappear to understand its origin
  

  When there are several processes going on at once, establishing cause-and-effect relationships is difficult. This scenario holds true for a class of high-temperature superconductors known as the cuprates. Discovered nearly 35 years ago, these copper-oxygen compounds can conduct electricity without r more

• First view of hydrogen at the metal-to-metal hydride interface
  

  University of Groningen physicists have visualized hydrogen at the titanium/titanium hydride interface using a transmission electron microscope. Using a new technique, they succeeded in visualizing both the metal and the hydrogen atoms in a single image, allowing them to test different theoretical m more

The Philae Lander

You’ve probably heard the great news over the weekend that the European Space Agency’s Philae lander has awoken from its 7 month slumber on Comet 67P, and is once again relaying collected data back to Earth. You might have less of an idea, however, of what this data is, and why it’s important. This more

Revealing the structures of biomolecules with cryo-electron microscopy

The last of this year’s Nobel Prizes, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was awarded today. This year’s prize went to the development of cryo-electron microscopy, a technique that allows the structures of biomolecules to be revealed where other techniques fail. It also gives scientists insights into how more

• Anodic dissolution growth of metal–organic framework HKUST-1 monitored via in situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy

  In situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy (ec-AFM) is utilised for the first time to probe the initial stages of metal–organic framework (MOF) coating growth via anodic dissolution. Using the example of the Cu MOF HKUST-1, real time surface analysis is obtained that supports and verifies many more

• “Tubular J-Aggregates of a New Thiacarbocyanine Cy5 Dye for the Far-red Spectral Region – A Spectroscopic and Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscopy Study”

  2009 and 2010 were years of restructuring, redistributing existing resources and increasing efficiency in the pharmacological industry.In 2011 many of the people in charge are looking to the future again with a visionary foresight – new, innovative technologies and new paths, other than the well trodden ones, move into the spotlight. A year of new starts and chances, also in the materials testing sector, has begun. more

• Key challenges in bioprocessing
  

  As far back in time as several thousand years ago our ancestors were using biotechnical processes to make beer, wine and bread. These days, biotechnological processes are not merely used to produce food – they enable a wide variety of applications, from wastewater treatment to manufacturing medicines. more

• Macromolecular environments influence proteins
  

  The high-intensity interaction of proteins with other macromolecules can cause signifi cant changes to protein properties such as translational mobility, for example, or their conformational states. Accordingly, the study of proteins in macromolecular environments that typically very closely resemble physiological conditions or cell-like environments is of great interest. more
