Just how well prepared Europe is to meet these demographic challenges differs from one region to another. This is shown by the Berlin Institute’s study, which analysed a total of 290 regions. The highly developed regions of Switzerland, …

A study led by scientists of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science in Hamburg presents evidence of the coexistence of superconductivity and “charge-density-waves” in compounds of the poorly-studied family of bismuthates. This observation opens up new perspectives for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity, a topic which is at the core of condensed matter research since more than 30 years. The paper by Nicoletti et al has been published …

… trend continue? Longevity optimists are convinced that there are already people alive today who may very well grow 150 years old. However, there exist marked differences with regard to life expectancy across different regions and social strata. In its new study, the Berlin Institute shows how global differences in life expectancy come about. Society and politics are called upon to take action in various fields of action in order to compensate for health inequality. --- We are getting older. At around 1900, mean life expectancy of the global population …

… has essentially remained stable since its creation. "We have called this assumption into question, showing that at the beginning of the universe dark matter may have been unstable," explained Dr. Michael Baker from the Theoretical High Energy Physics (THEP) group at the JGU Institute of Physics. This instability also indicates the existence of a new mechanism that explains the observed quantity of dark matter in the cosmos. The stability of dark matter is usually explained by a symmetry principle. However, in their paper, Dr. Michael Baker and Prof. …

… reactions, the +II state may form, but definitive evidence has not been provided to date. The corresponding proof has just been advanced by researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in a recent publication. A team of chemists led by Professor Katja Heinze at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry of JGU has been able to isolate and analyze gold in the very rare oxidation state +II. This provides the missing links in the homologous series of the coinage metal ions copper(+II), silver(+II), gold(+II), and in the …

The Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry Tells All --- Plants are smart enough to grow toward the light, they recognize their main shoot and know when to form lateral roots. All these different plant responses and many others depend on the phytohormone auxin. This involvement of a single signal substance in many signaling paths requires various levels of regulation by which the phytohormone induces different physiological processes. For about 20 years, plant researchers from all over the world have been working to unravel the phenomenon. Scientists …

Düsseldorf, 07.08.2017 – Researchers in a team headed by Professor Thomas Kurz at the Institute of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry of Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have successfully tested an optimised lead compound in animal experiments that acts against plasmodia, i.e. malaria parasites. Lead compounds are molecules which form the starting point for the development of a new drug. The results have already been published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. --- Malaria is a disease caused by blood parasites from the plasmodia …

Veeramah expects that the sequencing of additional ancient Eurasian …

… 40 nanometres – from which it is therefore just a small step to the X-ray range. “Large-scale equipment, that is to say particle accelerators such as the German Elektronen-Synchotron in Hamburg, are usually necessary for generating XUV radiation,” says Silvio Fuchs of the Institute of Optics and Quantum Electronics of the Jena University. “This makes such a research method very complex and costly, and only available to a few researchers.” The physicists from Jena have already demonstrated this method at large research facilities, but they have …

Six Max Planck Institutes explore social and legal exclusion as a result of migration Social scientists have long been interested in the subject of social integration and inclusion. However, there has been much less attention given to the ways that legal provisions, social behaviours, and economic conditions can lead to exclusion.

… the foal. „When a foal is born in winter, it is thus likely that the seasonal reduction in energy metabolism affects the foetus“, explains principal investigator Christine Aurich. To test their hypothesis, the scientists studied 27 broodmares and their foals at the Graf Lehndorff Institute, a joint research unit of Vetmeduni Vienna and the Brandenburg State Stud at Neustadt (Dosse), Germany. Mares and foals were allocated to three groups by the date of foaling. Foalings occurred between February and early March in Group 1, from early March until …

Male infertility can be caused by mutations in the DNA of mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells. By increasing the total DNA amount in mitochondria, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne restored testis function and semen quality in infertile mice. --- Worldwide approximately nine percent of women and men are involuntarily childless. In 40 to 50 percent of the cases this is due to male infertility. This infertility can be caused by different reasons, one of them are mutations in the mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondria …

Now a team of scientists around Dr. Christian Groß from the Quantum Many-Body Systems Division (director Professor Immanuel Bloch) at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics has demonstrated that in one-dimensional quantum magnets the magnetic order is preserved even when they are doped with holes – a direct manifestation of spin-charge (density) separation. The quantum crystals were prepared by chains of ultracold atoms in …

… August 2017. The US Corn Belt and European maize owe their existence to a historic change: the ability of this plant, originally from the tropics, to flower early enough to avoid winter. Research led by Cornell University in New York and the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Developmental Biology in Tuebingen, Germany reveals that indigenous people in the American southwest started the process of adapting maize to temperate growing seasons 4000 years ago and refined it ove r the following 2000 years. --- From this point onwards, it grew well enough …
