Researchers make the proton pump of the respiratory chain work in an artificial polymer membrane
(The bar corresponds to 100 nanometers).
With an extremely precise measurement of the magnetic moment of a proton in a Penning trap, a team headed by K. Blaum of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics could contribute to finding an asymmetry between matter and antimatter, which causes a surplus of matter in the universe.
“If one thinks of the proton as a small bar magnet,
Astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have directly measured the distance to a star-forming region on the opposite side of our Milky Way Galaxy from the Sun, using the Very Long Baseline Array. Their achievement reaches deep into the Milky Way’s terra incognita and nearly doubles the previous record for distance measurement within our Galaxy.

An international team, including several researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, has mapped the active galaxy OJ 287 with an angular resolution of 12 microarcseconds in the radio range. This is currently the highest resolution that can be achieved with astronomical observations. This was made possible by the technique of interferometry with very long baselines. The signals from twelve radio telescopes – one on board the Russian Spektr-R satellite – were combined. The resulting virtual telescope had a diameter of 193,000 kilometres.

Katalysatoren kurbeln chemische Reaktionen an. Ohne sie wäre die Produktion von Chemikalien im großen Stil undenkbar. Und wer den besten Katalysator findet, kann seine Produkte am effizientesten herstellen. Mit erstaunlicher Kreativität entwickeln Wissenschaftler um Ferdi Schüth, Direktor am Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr, immer neue dieser wirksamen Schrittmacher. Ein Schlüssel zum Erfolg ist die Zusammenarbeit verschiedener Spezialisten.
