Mathematicians show that sound can be used to locate flat surfaces One drone, four microphones and a loudspeaker: nothing more is needed to determine the position of walls and other flat surfaces within a room.

As different as the term “dynamic? is used and understood in science, so diverse are the research areas of the University of Münster, in which dynamic even plays a central role in the title.

Hours of contemplation, approaching a solution in small steps, and a healthy scepticism towards computer-generated results.

From mobile phone photo to static calculations - Cracks in the ankles of Michelangelo's David statue, damaged columns in the cistern of the Hagia Tekla Basilica: Are these ancient structures in danger of collapsing? Researchers at Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a new process that makes it possible to assess the mechanical condition of structures based on photographs.

Something everyone learns in Physics lessons at school is that light is refracted and reflected at the interface between air and water.

After ten years, Prof. Raimar Wulkenhaar from the University of Münster's Mathematical Institute and his colleague Dr. Erik Panzer from the University of Oxford have solved a mathematical equation which was considered to be unsolvable.
