The power of chance
Life is constantly evolving, and yet "progress" is not the right word for this process of organismal change, says evolutionary geneticist Jochen Wolf. A chasm of more than three-and-a-half billion years separates the beginnings of life from today's abundant biological diversity. Virtually all environments on Earth - even the supposedly most inhospitable ones such as Antarctica or the ocean depths - are inhabited by living organisms.

Behind the Scenes of Science
Just as Alice from Wonderland discovers new things in her second adventure "Through the Looking Glass", international scientists want to give an insight into the world behind research results and publications. The new online exhibition "Life: Through the Looking Glass" shows what their work looks like in research laboratories, what they work on and what questions they ask themselves in the process.

’Future scenarios have to be replaced with flexible planning processes’
The impact of climate change is constantly becoming more evident, and the war in Ukraine is making it even more urgent that we find new solutions for our energy supply. In an interview, two experts explain how these solutions might look. At the Research Center for Energy and Information (ZEI) Prof. Thomas Hamacher investigates how the energy revolution ("Energiewende") can be accelerated.

German Research Foundation has approved a new research unit dedicated to soil ecology
Team led by Friederike Lang is researching the functioning and vulnerability of the forest floor In contrast to arable soils, forest soils are not mechanically mixed. As a result leaf and needle litter, brushwood and seeds accumulate on the surface and form a unique zone of transition between the fresh biomass and the mineral soil, which is called the forest floor.

Pilot plant for renewable hydrogen
A pilot plant for the production of hydrogen from biogas is to be built in Bavaria. It is based on a new technology that is expected to drastically reduce the energy required for the production of hydrogen compared to conventional technologies. This will be achieved by integrating resistive heating into the chemical reactor.
