This year, Karel Šmejkal received the MU Rector’s Award for long-term excellence in research in the field of natural sciences and medicine.

82 participants, 25 teachers and 57 students, came from 19 universities in 10 different European countries.

6 webinars: Complexities of Catalyst Analysis; Element. Analysis of Li-ion Battery Materials; Multiparameter Analysis; Interferences & ICPMS; Mixture & NMR; FTIR Spectroscopy & Li-ion Battery Materials.

A research group led by Dr. Edward Curtis has developed two new types of catalytic DNA molecules (deoxyribozymes) that can reveal the presence of target molecules through fluorescence or color.

Urea reacts extremely quickly under the conditions that existed when our planet was newly formed. This new insight furthers our understanding of how life on Earth might have begun.

New approach could inform better public health guidelines.

Study has implications for targeting metabolism in cancer treatment.

EPA, FDA and USDA have developed a plan to update, streamline and clarify their regulations and oversight mechanisms for products of biotechnology.

4 webinars: Yeast Cells & Microplastics (ICP-QQQ); In vivo (e.g. PET/MR), Cellular & Molecular (e.g. MRI/NMR) spectroscopy preclinical studies; Optical Tweezers; Edible Oils - Agilent 5800 ICP-OES.

Feldspar is very common in rocks. As atmospheric dust, this mineral contributes efficiently to cloud formation. Researchers at TU Wien have now discovered what happens during this process.
