Environmental chemical blocks cell function
Researchers from the University of Bonn have discovered adverse effects of Bisphenol A on calcium channels
12-Dec-2012
Bisphenol A, a substance found in many synthetic products, is considered to be harmful, particularly, for fetuses and babies. Researchers from the University of Bonn have now shown in experiments on cells from human and mouse tissue that this environmental chemical blocks calcium channels in cell ...
Splitting the unsplittable
Physicists from the University of Bonn split an atom using quantum mechanics precision
07-Jun-2012
Researchers from the University of Bonn have just shown how a single atom can be split into its two halves, pulled apart and put back together again. While the word "atom" literally means "indivisible," the laws of quantum mechanics allow dividing atoms - similarly to light rays - and reuniting ...
Bonn physicists create a 'super-photon'
Completely new source of light for many applications
30-Nov-2010
Physicists from the University of Bonn have developed a completely new source of light, a so-called Bose-Einstein condensate consisting of photons. Until recently, expert had thought this impossible. This method may potentially be suitable for designing novel light sources resembling lasers that ...
Bionic coating could help ships to economize on fuel
Materials based on water ferns could reduce fuel consumption massively
06-May-2010
The hairs on the surface of water ferns could allow ships to have a 10 per cent decrease in fuel consumption. The plant has the rare ability to put on a gauzy skirt of air under water. Researchers at the University of Bonn, Rostock and Karlsruhe now show in the journal Advanced Materials (doi: ...
Scientists from Bonn cool gas by laser bombardment
First evidence that a method proposed 3 decades ago really works
07-Sep-2009
In their experiment the scientists tested a completely new principle of cooling. For this, they used the property that atoms can be stimulated by light. In this process an electron changes from its orbit around the atom's nucleus to an orbit that is further away. However, this is only successful ...
Magnetic nanoparticles navigate therapeutic genes through the body
PTB measures the pinpointed transport of therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases
09-Mar-2009
Health professionals send genes and healthy cells on their way through the bloodstream so that they can, for example, repair tissue damage to arteries. But do they reach their destination in sufficient quantities? Scientists of the PTB have developed a highly sensitive measuring method with which ...
Life-giving rocks from a depth of 250 km
Minerals act as oxygen reservoirs, stopping the earth from becoming a barren planet
01-Oct-2007
If our planet did not have the ability to store oxygen in the deep reaches of its mantle there would probably be no life on its surface. This is the conclusion reached by scientists at the University of Bonn who have subjected the mineral majorite to close laboratory examination. Majorite ...
The structure of a polymeric carbon suboxide is finally cleared up
03-Nov-2004
In addition to the well-known compounds carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, carbon and oxygen form other compounds of which carbon suboxide (C3O2) is one of the most stable. C3O2 was discovered in 1906; it is a linear molecule in which all five atoms are bound to each other with double bonds, ...
