Scanning probe microscopes – like the scanning tunneling microscope, and the atomic force microscope – give us valuable information about individual molecules. One of the most interesting areas of research are molecular switches, which can be switched from one configuration to another. Phycisists at the University of Regensburg provided the first demonstration of lateral force microscopy capturing the “snapshot” of a molecular switch, and the team believes this technique will be applied to more systems to better understand the dynamics and stability of molecular switches.
International talent development network joins forces with post-pandemic taskforce. Global Talent Mentoring is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Advanced Material Pandemic and Future Preparedness Taskforce (AMPT).
All over the world, research into the development of a vaccine against the SARS-CoV2 virus is running at full speed - the breakthroughs of the last few days have made the headlines. Researchers from Fraunhofer EMFT and the University of Regensburg are working on a new assay concept that could speed up the evaluation of vaccine candidates and at the same time increase their significance.
Scientists have proven for the first time experimentally by means of high-resolution optical methods that the release of transmitter from reciprocal spines takes place by means of an action potential limited to the spine.
Researchers at the the University of Regensburg and the MPSD in Hamburg have developed a groundbreaking method to detect the dynamics of light on such a small scale with high temporal resolution.
In a new review article in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution, researchers from the University of Regensburg and the National University of Singapore recommend a more cautious assessment of the so-called Janzen-Connell hypothesis. A summary of the current state of knowledge reveals two important unresolved questions. First, it is not clear whether the interactions between neighbouring trees are strong enough to have a significant impact on tree diversity. Second, it cannot yet be said whether the regulatory effect is actually stronger or more frequent in the tropics.
