Ancient genomes of thirteen Neanderthals provide an unprecedented snapshot of their community and social organization. For the first time, scientists have managed to sequence multiple…
For the first time, researchers compared schizophrenia and frontotemporal dementia, two conditions that affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Rarely do researchers…
Red has a signaling and warning effect. How is this color specificity reflected in the brain? Scientists at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute for Neuroscience have…
EP-WXT Pathfinder has released its first results. EP-WXT Pathfinder, an experimental prototype of a module that will ultimately be part of the wide-field X-ray telescope…
Dragons and Brain Evolution These days, dragons are keeping Game of Thrones fans on their toes. But according to recent research conducted by Max Planck scientists…
A one-hour stroll in nature decreases stress-related brain activity, according to new research. Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing mental…
Scientists uncover a greater neuron production in the frontal lobe during brain development in modern humans than Neanderthals due to the change of a single…
Scientists have successfully created photon pairs at several different frequencies using resonant metasurfaces. Tomás Santiago-Cruz and Maria Chekhova from the Max Planck Institute for the…
Brief exposure to rapamycin has the same anti-aging effects as lifelong treatment. Imagine being able to take a medicine that prevents the decline that comes…
Effects are comparable to those of going to actual art galleries or even being in nature. Visits to art galleries and museums can have a…
Theoretical physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have demonstrated how the coupling between intense lasers, the motion…
Astronomers determine the time when all the neutral hydrogen gas between galaxies produced by the Big Bang became fully ionized. A group of astronomers has…
Researchers from Jena show how the poison nut tree forms strychnine. A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena…
Scientists investigated the diet of megalodon, the largest shark to have ever lived, using zinc isotopes. In a new study, researchers compared how high up…
A team of scientists at CERN led by MPQ physicist Masaki Hori discovered that a hybrid antimatter-matter atom behaves in an unexpected way when immersed…
Physicists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich in collaboration with Stanford University have for the first time used laser light…
Late in 2018, the gravitational wave observatory, LIGO, announced that they had detected the most distant and massive source of ripples of spacetime ever monitored:…
Researchers discover that a spot of molecular glue and a timely twist help a bacterial enzyme convert carbon dioxide into carbon compounds 20 times faster…
