A team led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization has realised a mixed state (chimera state) of order and disorder with metronomes on two swings which are coupled by springs. The metronomes on one swing then oscillate synchronously; those on the other do not.

Bacteria can live on almost anything – some even on oil. Friedrich Widdel, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, is studying microbes that break down oil hydrocarbons without oxygen, deep down in the sediment. Could they be useful in oil spills?
Sure enough, slowly but surely, hydrogen sulfide formed

On 12 February 2022, Charles Darwin would have been 213 years old. In honour of the British naturalist, the international Darwin Day will be celebrated worldwide tomorrow. One person who recently sailed in Darwin’s footsteps is Eduardo Sampaio from the MPI of Animal Behavior in Constance. He spent ten days on board the Captain Darwin in the waters off Cape Verde – almost 200 years after Charles Darwin visited the islands off the West African coast.
But we weren’t sure if they would catch the reflection
