On April 14, 2023, consortium member Tanja Gulder was admitted to the Saxon Academy of Sciences and Humanities, which has existed since 1846. The organic chemist with a focus on biomimetic catalysis is now part of the Mathematical-Natural Sciences Class. Membership in the Academy is reserved for top researchers and Read more…
Kirill Monakhov is amongst Invited Speakers from imec, Samsung Electronics, Google, and other key technology companies and research institutions at the 26th edition of International Interconnect Technology Conference, a joint event with Materials for Advanced Metallization Conference in Dresden, May 22-25, 2023. He will present the results of his group Read more…
The working groups of Matysik, Sommer, and Künze together with colleagues from Leipzig and Spain have obtained new insights into the mechanism by which enzymes degrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the most widely used plastic materials. Enzymatic PET degradation is considered a possible eco-friendly recycling solution for plastic waste. Read more…
In the jungle around the Störmthaler See, a lake between the cities of HYPzig and SPINnitz, biologists discovered a new flower. The new flower has been named “HYPERcinth” and because of its intense color: “Müller-red HYPERcynth”. See figure. For further taxonomic and genetic studies, the plant has been brought to Read more…
The group of Kirill Monakhov (IOM, Leipzig) in collaboration with the Institute of Spintronics and Quantum Information of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland), the Quantum Chemistry Group of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Spain), and colleagues from the University of Leipzig discovers unique electron-transport compounds with bio-inspired crosstalk. Read more…
The Wiegand lab recently contributed a chapter with the title “Solid-state NMR spectroscopy and dynamic nuclear polarization” to the book “Integrated Structural Biology”, which has just been accepted for publication at RCS. Several aspects of solid-state NMR and DNP, including recent advances and applications to integrated structural biology are discussed. Read more…
HYP*MOL member Christoph Tegenkamp spoke on “Electronic transport along chiral nanostructures” at the CISSORs seminar (March 15 2023), which is held regularly by the CISS Effect community initiated by the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot. Our highly esteemed colleague Yossi Paltiel is one of the essential minds behind this Read more…
Our 15th Status Report Meeting took place on Zoom, hopefully for the last time online!
In January 2023, an extraordinarily comprehensive review article on hyperpolarized magnetic resonance was published in Chemical Reviews by Igor Koptyug. Among the 13 international authors is HYP*MOL member Jörg Matysik. One may expect that this review with more than 1000 references will be the central access source to the topic Read more…
The conference, held at the Universität Leipzig, will provide a forum for fruitful scientific exchange, a valuable tool for competence building and knowledge transfer between the different methods of hyperpolarization. The program will consist of invited lectures and contributed papers. The conference language will be English.
