The Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation has awarded the junior research group of Dr. Jonas Warneke a 24-month Exploration Grant (180 000 euros) for their project "New routes in life science mass spectrometry by in situ analyte functionalization with mass-selected fragment ions on surfaces".
Researchers at Leipzig University and Ulm University have developed a new method to isolate HIV from samples more easily, potentially making it easier to detect infection with the virus. They focus on peptide nanofibrils (PNFs) on magnetic microparticles, a promising tool and hybrid material for…
Mass spectrometers are high-tech machines that play an important role in our society. They are highly sensitive analytical instruments that are indispensable in areas such as medical diagnostics, food quality control and the detection of hazardous chemical substances. The research group led by Dr…
Prof. Dr. Stephan Schunk, honorary professor for the digitalization in catalysis and material science at the Institute of Chemical Technology (Faculty of Chemistry and Mineralogy of Leipzig University) was awarded with the EFACTS Applied Catalysis Award on the 15th Congress on Catalysis hold in…
Until now, nylon has been produced from petroleum-based raw materials. However, this is quite harmful to the environment because non-renewable fossil resources are used, a great deal of energy is required, and climate-damaging nitrous oxide is emitted during production. A research team from the…
Professor Knut Asmis, Professor of Physical Chemistry at Leipzig University’s Wilhelm Ostwald Institute, was awarded the van 't Hoff Prize of the German Bunsen Society on 5 June 2023. The prize is awarded every three years for outstanding research in the field of physical chemistry.
