Sodium ion batteries have become a hot topic: They are considered to be cost-effective and widely available.

Cell biologist Karin Busch has investigated changes in the 'power plants' of ageing heart muscle cells Prof. Karin Busch researches the bioenergetics of cells, i.e. the processes of energy conversion that are essential for life, at the Institute of Integrative Cell Biology and Physiology.

How Münster, as a Centre of Medicine, transfers knowledge faster to patient care / Guest contribution by Jan Rossaint Why does it often take so long for a discovery in the laboratory to turn into an improvement for patients?

Findings from materials physics reveal the connection between electronic noise and thermodynamic properties For modern data storage and new computing concepts, so-called memristive materials are of g

Evolutionary origin of animal cell adhesion: Talin protein plays a central role The cells of all'animals - including humans - are characterized by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces in their environment.

Calculations of predictions for gravitational wave signals: theoretical physicists find new approach Gravitational wave astronomy has developed rapidly since the first direct measurement of gravitational waves in 2015. However, it is still a challenge to develop precise mathematical models for the gravitational wave signals that encode information about the physics of black holes and neutron stars.

Unique project provides data on greenhouse gas balance in Lünten Forest It stands out even from a distance: the 30-metre-high tower, which attracts attention with its imposing height and four-square-metre platform accessible via 160 steps.

Part 5 of the series 'From university to the world': Münster research team studies billion-year-old drill cores from South Africa - witnesses to Earth's earliest climate history Between four and two

Study on "Freezing of Gait" aims to use socks to help sufferers In widespread diseases such as diabetes, cancer or Parkinson's, a significant proportion of research activity is carried out in the fields of medicine or pharmacology. However, other branches of research play an important role in preventing and dealing with everyday symptoms.

Biologists at the University of Münster reveal details of how cell junctions form in epithelia Epithelial tissues cover the inner and outer surfaces of the body, and neither animals nor humans could develop and survive without them. Robust yet flexible connections between individual cells are necessary for the stability of epithelia.

250 scientists from the fields of biology and medicine meet at the University of Münster from 24 to 29 August Protozoa of the genus Chlamydomonas are microalgae.

Research team advances environmentally friendly battery production Innovative production processes such as dry electrode processing are a crucial milestone towards a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective battery cell production.

Taking a look beneath the surface: Research team at the University of Münster makes hidden structural and magnetic properties visible To understand how electronic or magnetic properties of a material are related to its structure on the atomic scale, scientists use scanning tunnelling microscopy. As a rule, this limits them to investigating the uppermost atomic layer of a solid.

University of Münster participates in the new "Centre for Molecular Water Science" Water is not only essential for life, it is also a fascinating and complex molecule that forms the basis of all life on Earth.
