Polyelectrolyte Solutions: The least understood form of condensed matter

by Ralph H. Colby, The Pennsylvania State University, USA

Polyelectrolytes are polymer chains with covalently bonded ions and oppositely charge counterions. The combination of electrostatic interactions and conformational entropy of polymer chains led Nobel Laureate de Gennes to term this class of materials as the least understood form of condensed matter. Yet polyelectrolytes are essential for life, as DNA and RNA are both polyelectrolytes. Continue reading “iRTG lecture series by Ralph Colby (October 28/30, 2019) | part 2 and 3”

Recruit an intern from North America, Great Britain or Ireland | RISE 2020

Would you like to recruit an intern from North America, Great Britain or Ireland as support for your experimental work? Offer an internship as part of your doctoral thesis.

RISE Germany recruits Bachelor students from North American, British and Irish universities for a research stay. The DAAD supports the research internships taking place in the summer months with scholarships, financed by funds from the Federal Foreign Office and through institutional cooperation. 300 internships are arranged annually.

Offer an internship in your project. Please submit your proposal from September 1 – October 15, 2019.
