Faster, clearer, deeper 3D imaging
Light sheet microscopy produces impressive 3D images of tissue and entire organs. A thin layer of light, the light sheet, moves through the sample and generates a 3D image layer by layer. However, larger samples create problems for conventional microscopes: the process is slow and the images blurred. This led researchers to develop a technologically innovative light sheet fluorescence microscopy platform that improves imaging and opens up new opportunities for research and medicine. more…

Hybrid excitons: combining the best of both worlds
Faster, more efficient, and more versatile – these are the expectations for the technology that will produce our energy and handle information in the future. But how can these expectations be met? A major breakthrough in physics has now been made by researchers who combined two highly promising types of material – organic semiconductors and two-dimensional semiconductors. Their findings hold promise for developing new technology such as the next generation of solar cells. more…
Wildfires reshape forest soils for decades
Wildfires may disappear from the landscape within weeks, but their hidden effects on the soil can persist for decades. An international research team led by the University of Göttingen, together with partners in Tübingen, Berlin and Chile, has shown that different ecosystems experience different outcomes in terms of soil recovery and resilience. more…
