Within the framework of the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat, excitons were generated in a topological insulator for the first time. A breakthrough in quantum research, based on material design from Würzburg.
What genetic changes are responsible for the evolution of phenotypic traits? This question is not always easy to answer. A newly developed method now makes the search much easier.
When a fruit fly starts walking or flying, its insulin-producing cells are immediately inhibited. This could be one explanation for why exercise promotes health.
A newly developed rapid test needs only a few seconds to reliably detect pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2. It is based on specially designed magnetic nanoparticles.
A new collaborative research centre is being launched in Würzburg. It investigates critical decision processes that determine the outcome of human infection.
Their work is most frequently cited in publications of other scientists. Researchers from the University of Würzburg are therefore included in the Highly Cited Researchers 2022 List.
Increased cell proliferation is a key feature of diseases such as cancer. A research team from the University of Würzburg and two Leibniz Institutes has now succeeded in indirectly influencing this process.
As a child, Dr Brigadier Libanda was fascinated by the weather report on TV. Today, he researches climate change and searches for solutions to this global problem - currently on a Humboldt Foundation fellowship at the University of Würzburg.
The origin of SARS-CoV-2 remains unresolved. In a non-peer-reviewed preprint published on BioRxiv on Oct. 20, 2022 three authors present analyses that, according to their interpretation, suggest a "synthetic emergence" of SARS-CoV-2 and its release in the context of a "laboratory accident". Experts from the University of Wuerzburg and the University Hospital have reviewed the preprint on the origin of SARS-CoV-2. In summary, the analyses presented in the study do not provide sufficient evidence for the authors’ conclusion that SARS-CoV-2 is of synthetic origin.
People who deny the existence of facts believe in Fake News more often. People with dark personality traits – those who always put their own benefit first – are particularly often affected.
