Long-COVID - all a question of genes?

New study results show possible risk factor

01-Aug-2023 - Long-COVID once again raises eyebrows. Some factors that increase the risk of developing the long-term consequences of corona infection are known. Now, the results of a new study suggest that one risk factor may even be in our genes: a gene called FOXP4 may be linked to Long-Covid. Finally, most ...

Laser takes pictures of electrons in crystals

The experiments pave the way towards to deeply understand and eventually control the chemical and the electronic properties of materials

03-Jul-2020 - Microscopes of visible light allow us to see tiny objects such living cells and their interior. Yet, they cannot discern how electrons are distributed among atoms in solids. Now researchers around Prof. Eleftherios Goulielmakis of the Extreme Photonics Labs at the University of Rostock and the ...

First imaging of free nanoparticles in lab experiment using high-intensity laser source

12-Sep-2017 - In a joint research project, scientists from the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI), the Technische Universität Berlin and the University of Rostock have managed for the first time to image free nanoparticles in a laboratory experiment using a ...

X-ray pulses uncover free nanoparticles for the first time in 3-D

'Super microscope' reveals unexpected variety of shapes

10-Feb-2015 - For the first time, a German-American research team has determined the three-dimensional shape of free-flying silver nanoparticles, using DESY's X-ray laser FLASH. The tiny particles, hundreds of times smaller than the width of a human hair, were found to exhibit an unexpected variety of shapes, ...

Fitting pieces for biosensors

15-Apr-2009 - Research and industry are increasingly exploiting the potential of aptamers. As well as their application in research, medical diagnosis and treatment, aptamers are also interesting as a basis for biosensors for use in environmental analysis because their characteristics enable them to identify ...
