Successful reproduction
22.07.2019 · Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research
Cheetahs in zoos often do not reproduce in the desired manner. Researchers have now found a key to the issue: the age of the mothers at the first pregnancy.
Pollen in the air
22.07.2019 · Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research
Pollen not only cause allergies, but also have an influence on the climate. Using laser beams researchers now aim to find out more about the properties of these tiny particles.
Drug design
16.07.2019 · Leibniz-Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich
In addition to taste perception, bitter receptors also fulfill other physiological functions, for example, in the human immune system. A new substance should help to explore these.
Tropical discovery
15.07.2019 · Museum für Naturkunde
Researchers discovered the oldest completely preserved lily. The 115 million year old Cratolirion is one of the earliest known monocotyledonous plants.
Climate mitigation
09.07.2019 · Kiel Institute for the World Economy
If Europe wants to succeed with the Paris Climate Agreement, it has to extend the European Emissions Trading Scheme to all sectors and greenhouse gases.
Magnetic origami
09.07.2019 · Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden
Inspired by folding art: a new method uses external magnetic fields for the targeted production of three-dimensional micro devices with outstanding performance and high yield.
Historical clouds
05.07.2019 · Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research
Leibniz scientists have investigated ice cores, which can provide insights on the type of cloud cover in the Arctic over the last 500 years and thus close large gaps in knowledge in climate research.
High-speed connectivity
03.07.2019 · Innovations for High Performance Microelectronics
5G mobile networks are taking shape and will soon be available to everyone. Leibniz Scientists coordinate a project on large scale testing in different sites across Europe.
Recognizing movement patterns
27.06.2019 · German Primate Center - Leibniz Institute für Primate Research
The research project "Deep Movement Diagnostics" receives around 1.2 million euros for the development of three-dimensional reconstructions of movement patterns.
Population decline
21.06.2019 · ifo Institute - Leibniz Institute for Economic Research
A new study shows that the population of Eastern Germany has fallen back to a level last seen in 1905 and that the impact of the German division is thoroughly underestimated.
