Plastic bottles, punnets, wrap – such lightweight packaging made of PET plastic becomes a problem if it is not recycled. Scientists at Leipzig University have now discovered a highly efficient enzyme that degrades PET in record time. The enzyme PHL7, which the researchers found in a compost heap in…
The chemist Dr. Jonas Warneke from Leipzig University (PI in the Research Training Group 2721: Hydrogen Isotopes, ¹²³H) receives the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Preis 2022. The prize, which is awarded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) and the Federal Ministry of…
Researchers at Leipzig University have succeeded in moving tiny amounts of liquid at will by remotely heating water over a metal film with a laser. The currents generated in this way can be used to manipulate and even capture tiny objects. This will unlock groundbreaking new solutions for…
