- mRNA therapeutic successfully combats ovarian cancer in mice. Ovarian cancer is often very aggressive and responds poorly to the therapies currently available. Researchers used mRNA as a therapeutic, and as a result both the tumors in the ovaries and the metastases disappeared almost completely. https://aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de/english/mrna-therapeutic-successfully-combats-ovarian-cancer-in-mice/ 13 comments science

- Biobattery for hydrogen storage. A team of microbiologists has succeeded in using bacteria for the controlled storage and release of hydrogen. This is an important step in the search for carbon-neutral energy sources in the interest of climate protection. https://aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de/englisch/researchers-from-goethe-university-frankfurt-develop-new-biobattery-for-hydrogen-storage/ 32 comments science
- Scientists have identified the photoelectric effect in molecules extensively. But, the length of time between photon absorption and electron emission is very difficult to measure because it is only a matter of attoseconds. To overcome that, a team of researchers has measured it indirectly. https://aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de/englisch/einsteins-photoelectric-effect-the-time-it-takes-for-an-electron-to-be-released/ 3 comments science

- For the first time, researchers have observed the RNA folding structures of the SARS-CoV2 genome with which the virus controls the infection process. This lays the foundation for targeted development of novel drugs for treating COVID-19 and for future occurrences of infection with new corona viruses https://aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de/englisch/folding-of-sars-cov2-genome-reveals-drug-targets-and-preparation-for-sars-cov3/ 7 comments science
