Electrons are an elementary component of our world: they surround the core of all atoms, are essential to the formation of molecules, and primarily determine the properties of solids and liquids. They are also the charge carriers of electrical current, without which our high-tech environment with smartphones, computers and even the traditional light bulb would not be conceivable.

Research team from Kiel University develops more precise method for studying evolutionary lineage

One year of Danish-German research project InnoCan in Kiel

Dragonflies are well known for their impressive flying skills. They manage manoeuvres that other insects are not capable of. The wings of these insects can be moved separately and deformed, enabling quick changes of flight direction. The wing deformability has now been investigated in more detail. A team led by Hamed Rajabi and Professor Stanislav Gorb, from the Zoological Institute at Kiel University (CAU) has now taken a closer look at the characteristics of the individual wing components.

Freezing increases the production of bile acids and thus changes the intestinal environment. Under these different metabolic conditions, some bacteria in the gut obviously thrive better than at warm temperatures, while other bacterial species multiply less well. This was discovered by a team from the Cluster of Excellence "Inflammation at Interfaces", in conjunction with Hamburg scientists, using mice as model organisms.
