Light energy enables the reaction of double bonds with strained single bonds to produce three-dimensional molecules
24-Mar-2022
In synthetic organic chemistry, so-called cycloadditions are a particularly important class of reactions. With this type of reaction, ring-shaped molecules can be constructed simply and efficiently by joining (“adding“) two compounds that each contain double bonds. A team led by Prof. Dr. Frank ...
Particles can be used for biomedical applications
15-Mar-2022
For the first time, physicists from University of Münster have simulated the propulsion of freely orientable nanoparticles by travelling ultrasound waves. They have found answers to central questions which had previously stood in the way of acoustic propulsion of nanoparticles. Microscopically ...
Research team develops new strategy to create molecular compounds without multi-step syntheses
14-Jan-2022
For organic synthesis, i.e. for the production of carbon-based compounds, it is important to develop synthesis processes by which the desired product can be obtained in good yield. At the same time, the processes should be sustainable: for example, they should use environmentally friendly and ...
Circular Economy: Challenges and Future Approaches for Battery Recycling
13-Jan-2022
Enormous potential consists in the circular value chain of batteries. A review article on battery recycling provides an overview of the challenges of new material concepts for battery recycling and “Design for Recycling” as a promising approach of a sustainable battery economy. Enormous ...
Origin of the Decomposition Product Methane More Complex Than Previously Assumed
20-Sep-2021
Understanding all processes and reactions inside the lithium-ion battery in detail is essential for its further development. Especially interphases, which strongly influence the performance, safety and service life of energy storage systems, are still insufficiently investigated. They are ...
Team of Continental, Fraunhofer IME and the University of Münster Nominated for Federal President's Award
16-Sep-2021
Dr. Carla Recker (Continental), Prof. Dr. Dirk Prüfer (University of Münster) and Dr. Christian Schulze Gronover (Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME) have been nominated for the Federal President's Award for Technology and Innovation 2021 (“Deutscher Zukunftspreis ...
Research shows constructing microscope improves children’s understanding - enlightening, educational and fun
06-Jul-2021
Microscopy is an essential tool in many fields of science and medicine. However, many groups have limited access to this technology due to its cost and fragility. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Münster have succeeded in building a high-resolution microscope using nothing ...
Stable and ordered single molecule layers on silicon through self-assembly
23-Jun-2021
An interdisciplinary team of researchers has succeeded in depositing nitrogen-containing organic molecules as a highly ordered layer on silicon. This opens up new perspectives for the development of more powerful semiconductor materials, which can be used, for example, in computers, photovoltaics ...
New dimensions in organic chemistry through light-mediated synthesis
07-Apr-2021
A major goal of organic and medicinal chemistry in recent decades has been the rapid synthesis of three-dimensional molecules for the development of new drugs. These drug candidates exhibit a variety of improved properties compared to predominantly flat molecular structures, which are reflected ...
First time to produce a silicon polymer
01-Apr-2021
A team consisting of various working groups from the fields of chemistry and physics are now the first to have linked silicon atoms on surfaces. From silicon polymers, the researchers hope for innovative material properties and new, promising candidates for potential applications. Materials such ...
