That which motivates a football team to committed teamwork could also benefit climate change. The members of a group act in a particularly selfless manner and for the benefit of the group, especially when their community is in competition with others. They are then more likely to accept disadvantages themselves in order to punish members of their group who behave selfishly. A research group headed by the economics researcher Lauri Sääksvuori at the Max Planck Institute of Economics in Jena has gained this insight by conducting investigations involving game theory. This could result in a way of spurring people on to save energy.

Fine dew drops on spider webs, blades of grass, and even insects can lend these breath-taking beauty. Examining them very closely, one recognises that the drops themselves form astonishingly regular and aesthetic patterns. For the first time, Jürgen Vollmer and Tobias Lapp, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organisation in Göttingen have comprehensively investigated what laws these drops obey when they originate and grow in size. Elaborate computer simulations and experiments show that in particular the beginning of this growth phase proceeds differently than previously thought: the smallest droplets grow notably faster compared to their larger siblings. This new knowledge is especially important for irrigation technology and refrigeration.
