17.08.2015 New Study shows Correlation between Microscopic Structures and Macroscopic Properties Researchers from Jülich have, together with colleagues from Austria, Italy, Colombia and the USA, developed a model system for so-called soft colloids. The model gives us a better understanding of… [read more]

14.08.2015 A proton transfer or protonation of certain molecular groups is usually essential for the functioning of biological molecules such as enzymes or antibodies. Unlike many other structural resolution techniques neutrons can distinguish protons very well by other building blocks. In… [read more]
