Breaking carbon–hydrogen bonds to make complex molecules

A team of scientists led by Caltech and Emory University has synthesized a highly complex natural molecule using a novel strategy that functionalizes normally nonreactive bonds, called carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds….

How much climate change is in the weather?

New AWI simulations make it possible to compare actual extreme weather events in various climate scenarios, and to gauge the role of global warming in connection with these extremes in…

Stabilizing lithium-ion batteries: The vanadium touch

As demand surges for electric vehicles and energy storage systems, lithium-ion batteries need to deliver higher energy densities at lower costs. While conventional cathode materials like LiFePO4 and Li-Ni-Co-Mn-O are…

Beyond wires: Bubble technology powers next-generation electronics

New laser-based bubble printing technique creates ultra-flexible liquid metal circuits. As tiny as bubbles may seem, in engineers’ hands they can spark big innovations. Yokohama National University scientists have developed…

Nanoparticle bursts over the Amazon rainforest

Rainfall induces bursts of natural nanoparticles that can form clouds and further precipitation over the Amazon rainforest. During the wet season in the Amazon rainforest heavy rainfall frequently occurs during…

Researchers are making jet engines fit for the hydrogen age

Europe is preparing for climate-neutral flight powered by sustainably produced hydrogen. Last year, the EU launched a project to support industry and universities in the development of a hydrogen-powered medium-haul…

Climate change can cause stress in herring larvae

The occurrence of multiple stressors undermines the acclimatisation strategies of juvenile herring: If larvae are exposed to several stress factors at the same time, their ability to respond to these…

Drug resistant fungi spreading: Focus on Candida parapsilosis

The yeast Candida parapsilosis is emerging as a growing threat for hospitalized patients in a new study. A team led by Dr Amelia Barber from the Cluster of Excellence “Balance…

New Insights into the Evolution of Neurons in Vertebrate Brains

Assumptions that may seem self-evident are not always accurate when it comes to the evolution of vertebrate brains. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have now demonstrated this by examining…
