Physical Chemistry II

We put the spotlight on the solvent, water, and discovered a previously unknown direct correlation between the changes in the water around the carbon nanotube and its function as a biosensor.

Immediately after the generation of an electron in solution by means of an intense laser beam, we observed a delocalised electron and additionally a water quake or a tsunami.

Using THz calorimetry, we can map the formation of the protein-rich droplets, which may lead to neurodegenerative diseases, on a molecular level. Not only the proteins themselves but also the water play a crucial role.

Our joint experimental-theoretical study showed that HCl dissociation at "stardust conditions" is highly sensitive to the sequence in which molecular aggregation takes place. Sequence matters!
