• More than microscopes can show
  

  A key protein for converting adult stem cells into cells that resemble embryonic stem cells has been visualized in unprecedented detail by an international team of researchers around Hans Schöler and Vlad Cojocaru of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Münster. By combing experimen more

• Quantum chemistry on the test bench
  

  In the future, more and more drugs, materials and catalysts will be designed, tested and developed using computer simulations alone. However, this will require algorithms that are accurate enough to predict real-life chemistry. One particular example is catalysis, where elementary rate constants (th more

• New study shows novel crystal structure for hydrogen under high pressure
  

  Elements in the periodic table can take up multiple forms. Carbon, for example, exists as diamond or graphite depending on the environmental conditions at the time of formation. Crystal structures that have been formed in ultra-high-pressure environments are particularly important as they provide cl more
