Trying to controvert a seemingly incontrovertible law is a hard job. And Stefan Hell discovered just how hard when he attempted to thwart the resolution limit of optical microscopes.

Studying the formation of planets close to their host stars by observations has been extremely challenging so far. As part of an international collaboration, scientists of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, have employed a new instrument called MATISSE which has now uncovered evidence for a vortex at the inner rim of a planet-forming disk around a young star. It appears to move on an orbit around its star similar to Mercury’s orbit around the Sun. Astronomers think such vortices are sites where small particles converge and grow to form planets’ building blocks. MPIA contributed considerably to building MATISSE, an infrared imager for ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer.

With the Digital Markets Act, the EU Commission wants to limit the market power of tech giants such as Google, Apple, Facebook/Meta, Amazon or Microsoft and protect competition in the European market. In an interview, Heiko Richter, Senior Research Fellow for Digitalization and Competition Law at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition explains the goals of the planned regulation, which is currently being negotiated.

When several hundred thousand refugees came to Germany within a very short space of time five years ago, the local authority administrations responsible were put to the test. While the situation presented a challenge to the state, together with its social security systems and administration, it was by no means overwhelming. Instead, the local administrative system proved its ability to deal with the crisis in 2015/16. However, asylum seekers were also excluded when they arrived in the local communities. This is the conclusion of a study by the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity in Göttingen, in which three communities in Lower Saxony were studied.
“Like nearly everywhere else, the refugees themselves experienced exclusion there
