Researchers determine how rates of photosynthesis and ecosystem respiration depend on the climate in order to obtain a better assessment of the consequences of climate change.
Anemometers measure the wind speed ten times per second over leaf canopies and grasslands

New scientific images and data from the Euclid space telescope unravel the mystery of the faint glow in the Perseus galaxy cluster. The images also demonstrate how researchers can use Euclid to unlock the secrets of the cosmos, search for alien planets, study dark matter and explore the evolution of the universe.

Scientists from the Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle have discovered the basis for the next generation of memory devices. In a ferroelectric material, they have, for the first time, been able to observe directly how dipoles, which store the information in this material, continuously rotate and therefore may be organised in circular structures. The report was published in the journal Science. The findings were obtained using a type of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy with especially sharp contrast, developed by the Jülich scientists. Arranging the dipoles in a circular structure could allow for significantly denser data storage than previously possible, while still ensuring fast writing and reading processes.

Researchers and engineers from the Max Planck Institutes for Astronomy in Heidelberg and for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching near Munich. They are part of the Euclid consortium, which consists of research institutions in 17 countries. And they helped to develop and build the two instruments of the telescope, the optical camera (VIS, Visible Instrument) and the near-infrared camera (NISP, Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer). Another team from the two Max Planck Institutes, together with colleagues from other institutions, now ensures the operation of the telescope and the logistics and quality of the transmitted data.
