Counting lights for science
Researchers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum are looking for interested people who want to participate in their project as Citizen Scientists. Most of us turn off the light in our rooms before we go to bed, but what about the lights outside of our houses? That's a question that researchers at Ruhr University Bochum are examining this September and October, and they're asking the public to help.

Satellite security lags decades behind the state of the art
Researchers have tested the software of three satellites. And they found many standard security mechanisms missing. Thousands of satellites are currently orbiting the Earth, and there will be many more in the future. Researchers from Ruhr University Bochum and the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security in Saarbrücken have assessed the security of these systems from an IT perspective.

Using the tools of chemistry to search for life in space
Phosphorus is one of the building blocks of life and has never been discovered beyond Earth. Scientists from Germany, Japan and the USA have now proven that phosphorus salts can be found in an ocean under the ice of Saturn's moon Enceladus and have published their findings in the journal Nature. Among them is Bernd Abel from the Institute of Technical Chemistry at the University of Leipzig.
