Gravitational waves from the Sun

It’s not just sunshine that comes from our nearest star — according to new research by IFIC, DESY and the Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe at the University of Hamburg, the Sun also emits ultra-weak gravitational waves over an enormous frequency range. These gentle ripples in space and time could one day shed new...

Tracking enzymes in action: new 5D crystallography method captures protein dynamics at physiological temperatures

A research team from Hamburg has developed a novel method that allows for time-resolved structural studies of proteins across a wide temperature range. The team reports the new approach, called 5D serial synchrotron crystallography (5D-SSX), in Nature Communications. It enables the collection of temperature-resolved...
