Chemists from the University of Jena prevent dendrite formation in lithium metal batteries The energy density of traditional lithium-ion batteries is approaching a saturation point that cannot meet the demands of the future - for example in electric vehicles. Lithium metal batteries can provide double the energy per unit weight when compared to lithium-ion batteries.
Educational scientists at the University of Jena study the use of VR headsets in teacher training Educational scientists at Friedrich Schiller University Jena are working on a new project studying how virtual reality can enrich teacher training - and thus also enhance teaching in schools.
MHH neuroradiologist develops international guidelines for MRI imaging Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system in younger adults.
In view of current social developments and global challenges - for example, climate change and world health - education for sustainable development (ESD) is becoming increasingly important.
Research team from the Universities of Kassel, Göttingen and Kurdistan investigate this form of local nature conservation How much do traditional practices contribute to the protection of local biodiversity?
Göttingen University sports sociologist analyses false statements from professional cyclists How do top athletes talk about doping when they themselves are using performance-enhancing drugs?
Study examines the influence of rumenic acid on heart muscle fibers. Stand: 10.06.2021 Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in Germany. Important triggers for this are stress, lack of exercise and an unhealthy diet. Now a research team led by Dietmar Manstein, Director of the Institute of Biophysical Chemistry at Hannover Medical School (MHH), has discovered another reason why people with heart problems should avoid butter, cream cake or roast lamb: They contain rumenic acid, a trans fatty acid found in cow's milk products and the meat of ruminants.

Researchers record adaptability of 158 butterfly species to urbanisation Rapidly expanding urban habitats are likely to endanger a large number of butterfly species in the long term. This is reported by scientists from the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Friedrich Schiller University Jena in the scientific journal Global Change Biology .

Team of the RESIST Cluster of Excellence researches: Certain immune cells develop early in life and remain throughout life Stand: 28.05.2021 Some things are particularly deeply rooted: for example, certain white blood cells of the adult immune system are already formed around the eighth week of pregnancy.
People remember faces better from personal meetings than through still or moving media images The human brain remembers faces better after a personal meeting than by looking at photos or videos, according to findings by neuroscientists at Friedrich Schiller University Jena. In the current issue of the "Journal of Neuroscience", the research team led by Prof. Gyula Kovács and Dr Géza Gergely Ambrus have published EEG data which show that the familiarity of a face is anchored measurably more strongly in the brain of the observer if the face is seen in person.
With the end of the "petroleum age" - i.e. replacing oil with sustainable bio-resources - renewable raw materials are becoming increasingly important for commerce and industry. They can help find solutions to global environmental problems which contribute to health issues, climate change and species becoming extinct.
