As part of an IGF research project (AiF No. 18181 N), scientists at the Hohenstein Institute in Boennigheim have been developing and analysing a textile finish…
“For the first time we applied a previously developed and refined 'bio-templating' process to create materials with a structure-based functionality- in…
Nitrogen is essential to all forms of life: It is part of proteins, nucleic acids and other cellular structures. However, many oceanic regions are limited by…
Ventricular fibrillation! When the heart muscle races and no longer contracts in an orderly fashion, sudden death often follows due to the lack of blood…
Lithium-ion batteries are key elements in electromobility and a successful energy turnaround. The widespread use of these energy storage devices will come…
What is the current state of cage-free robot technology in German industry? This was the question Fraunhofer IAO investigated in the study “Lightweight robots…
In numerous nanotechnology applications, individual molecules are placed on surfaces to fulfill specific functions – such as conducting an electrical current…

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have successfully tested a new device that will lead to a better…
Air pollution can cause oxidative stress and adverse health effects such as asthma and other respiratory diseases. The underlying chemical processes, however,…
Inventors of Saarland University achieved to develop new neutral bis azainositol heavy metal complexes suitable for the use as X-ray contrast agents with a wide range of advantages compared to common contrast agents. For their higher absorption coefficient in the range of voltages used in CT these complexes lead to scan protocols that provide equivalent or even improved diagnostic value at lower radiation doses compared to conventional triiodinated contrast agents.
