Ihr Aussehen hat Lil BUB im Internet Millionen Follower beschert. Jetzt berichten zwei Molekularbiologen aus Deutschland und eine Molekularbiologin aus den USA, dass eine Kombination von zwei seltenen genetischen Veränderungen die einzigartige Erscheinung der berühmten Katze verursacht. Die Ergebnisse des über Crowdfunding finanzierten Projekts „LilBUBome“ sind auf dem Preprint-Server bioRxiv verfügbar.

The evolution of language? There’s an app for that!

https://www.mpg.de/12040574/colour-game-language-app

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History have designed a smartphone game to model the evolution of language. Players take up the challenge of communicating colors to each other using only black and white symbols. By studying how the use of the symbols changes over time, scientists hope to learn more about how real languages evolve.

A blazing nearby super-Earth

During the recent two and a half decades, astronomers have discovered thousands of exoplanets made of gas, ice and rock. Only a few of them are Earth-like. However, probing their atmospheres with the currently available instrumentation is challenging at best. Now, astronomers of the CARMENES consortium have published a new study, led by Trifon Trifonov from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, which reports the discovery of a hot rocky super-Earth orbiting the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 486. Despite its small separation from the parent star, the planet designated Gliese 486b possibly has retained a part of its original atmosphere. Therefore, Gliese 486b is uniquely suited to examine its atmosphere and interior with the next generation of space-borne and ground-based telescopes. The results are published in the journal Science today.

Peering inside the birthplaces of planets orbiting the smallest stars

Scientists have been finding ring-like structures indicating planet formation in the disks surrounding young Sun-like stars for several years. Astronomers led by Nicolas Kurtovic from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, have now detected similar signal in disks of young very low-mass stars that are considerably smaller and less massive than their counterparts. Although these stars represent the vast majority of the stellar population, they only host 10% of the known exoplanets to date, including terrestrial and Jupiter-like planets. While theorists have yet to derive a satisfying model that explains the formation of such giant planets inside the rather low-mass disks of the smallest stars, the new results are the beginning of a systematic investigation to solving this mystery.
