Diverse and diverging demands on forests in Germany
Diverse and diverging demands on forests in Germany
Research team analyse biodiversity, ecosystems and economics of enriching beech forests with conifers Forests provide biodiversity, ecosystem functions, income and much more. How can these diverse and seemingly diverging demands be met? An international research team led by the University of Göttingen addressed this question by analysing the effects of enriching beech forests in Germany with commercially valuable native (to mountainous regions of Europe) and non-native conifer species, in this case, the Norway spruce and Douglas fir, respectively.

Pollutants in shipping: researchers recommend stricter regulations
Pollutants in shipping: researchers recommend stricter regulations
New study on the toxicity of hydrocarbons The international maritime shipping industry contributes to air pollution, particularly in coastal areas and port cities. The 'International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships' regulates, among other things, air pollution from shipping and sets limits for the sulphur content in fuels.

Leipzig Authoritarianism Study 2024 published
Leipzig Authoritarianism Study 2024 published
In western Germany, approval of xenophobic statements has increased significantly, bringing it closer to attitudes in the east. In the eastern German states, satisfaction with democracy as it is practised in Germany is at its lowest level since 2006. These are the key findings of the Leipzig Authoritarianism Study 2024, which was presented today (13 November) at the Federal Press Conference in Berlin under the title "United in Resentment" by Oliver Decker and Elmar Brähler from the Competence Center for Right-Wing Extremism and Democracy Research at Leipzig University.

How Immune Cells 'Sniff Out' Pathogens
How Immune Cells ’Sniff Out’ Pathogens
Researchers from the University of Bonn are using an innovative method to watch immune receptors go about their business Immune cells are capable of detecting infections just like a sniffer dog, using special sensors known as Toll-like receptors, or TLRs for short. But what signals activate TLRs, and what is the relationship between the scale and nature of this activation and the substance being detected? In a recent study, researchers from the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) used an innovative method to answer these questions.

New milestone in quantum research
New milestone in quantum research
Google Quantum AI and quantum physicists at Freie Universität Berlin publish groundbreaking results on Hamiltonian operators A research team from Freie Universität Berlin and Google Quantum AI has developed an innovative method for the precise determination of Hamiltonian operators. These are essential for understanding and simulating physical systems and play a key role in quantum technology.

Higher survival of hybrid seeds
Higher survival of hybrid seeds
Plant breeders, aiming to develop resilient and high-quality crops, often cross plants from different species to transfer desirable traits. However, they frequently encounter a major obstacle: hybrid seed failure. This reproductive barrier often prevents closely related species from producing viable seeds.

A New Perspective on Aging at the Cellular Level
Research team at Freie Universität Berlin discovers unexpected differences in aging bacterial cells Surprising findings on bacterial aging have emerged from a study carried out by a team of researchers led by the biologist Dr. Ulrich Steiner at Freie Universität Berlin. In a new paper published in Science Advances the team demonstrated that even genetically identical bacterial cells living in the same environment react differently to the aging process and that changes occur at different rates within different regions of the cell.

Nanoparticle Bursts over the Amazon Rainforest
Nanoparticle Bursts over the Amazon Rainforest
News from Atmospheric aerosol particles are essential for the formation of clouds and precipitation, thereby influencing the Earth's energy budget, water cycle, and climate. However, the origin of aerosol particles in pristine air over the Amazon rainforest during the wet season is poorly understood.

Bach, Mozart or rather Jazz
Bach, Mozart or rather Jazz
How pieces of music by different composers and genres develop can be anticipated for different periods of time Compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach are less predictable than those by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. And how a jazz piece develops can be anticipated even less. This is what two physicists from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen discovered when they used over 550 pieces of classical music and jazz to investigate the extent to which a piece of music raises expectations about its future course.

Disruption of visual stability
Motion illusion overrides compensatory mechanism for eye movements The visual perception of optical stimuli demands high performance from the brain. Every second, the eyes absorb more than ten million pieces of information and transmit them to the brain via thousands of nerve fibres. This leads us to perceive the world as stable, even though we are constantly moving our eyes.

Making 'Stressed' Potatoes Climate-Resilient
Making ’Stressed’ Potatoes Climate-Resilient
A research alliance is studying how future potato cultures could be adapted to handle climate change Heat, dry spells and flooding-the whole of nature is under stress, and potatoes are no exception. As a food staple, there is particular interest in getting potatoes fit for the new climate reality. As part of the EU's four-year ADAPT project, an international team led by the University of Vienna and involving the University of Bonn has now investigated how this might be done.

A surprising link between motor systems control and sleep rhythms
A surprising link between motor systems control and sleep rhythms
New work on sleep in a reptile reveals surprising similarities between networks that control motor rhythms and those controlling sleep Sleep is one of the most mysterious, yet ubiquitous components of our biology. It has been described in all major groups of animals, including worms, jellyfish, insects or cephalopods, and in all vertebrates, from fish to humans.

Infection alters sleep
Infection alters sleep
A team of biologists from the University of Münster has investigated whether and how the immune system can influence the behaviour of sticklebacks It's a well-known fact that if you don't get enough sleep, you're more likely to get sick. And it has also been observed that people sleep differently when they're infected.

How 'stressed' potatoes become climate fit
How ’stressed’ potatoes become climate fit
Research network investigates how future potato varieties can be adapted to climate change Heat, drought and flooding - nature is under stress, and so is the potato. As a staple food, there is a particular interest in making potatoes climate-ready. An international team led by the University of Vienna and with the participation of the University of Bonn has now investigated how this can be achieved in the four-year EU project ADAPT.

Islands are key to protecting plant biodiversity
International research team finds that islands are home to around one in three of world's plant species From Tasmania to Madagascar to New Guinea, islands make up just over five per cent of Earth's land. Yet, a study led by Macquarie University, Australia, and Göttingen University, Germany, reveals that islands are home to over 31 per cent of the world's plant species.

The changing climate could increase mobility of toxic metals in soils
The changing climate could increase mobility of toxic metals in soils
The changes scientists expect in the climate could cause the toxic metals naturally occurring in soils to become more mobile, destabilize ecosystems and increasingly enter the human food chain via agriculture. Such scenarios are particularly likely to occur in slightly acidic soils, which make up around two thirds of all soils.

The Lion's Den: Use of Ochre 48,000 Years Ago
The Lion’s Den: Use of Ochre 48,000 Years Ago
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications examines the use of ochre in southern Africa and shows that the earth mineral has been used there as a dye and for ritual purposes for almost 50,000 years. The researchers analyzed 173 samples from 15 Stone Age sites and reconstructed methods of ochre extraction, the use of ochre, and transportation networks, considering local strategies and long-distance exchange.
