Sound can now be structured in three dimensions. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University of Stuttgart have found a way of generating acoustic holograms, which could improve ultrasound diagnostics and material testing. The holograms can also be used to move and manipulate particles.

Cyber-physical systems are in strong demand for their ability to increase road traffic safety and optimize electricity consumption from renewable sources. They link vehicles to sensors that monitor traffic and order the car to brake if a dangerous situation arises, for example. Or they distribute electricity from multiple power plants to consumers as efficiently as possible. Rupak Majumdar, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Kaiserslautern, develops mathematical methods for ensuring the reliability of these networked systems.

Benjamin List, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research, is honoured with the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, together with David MacMillan from Princeton University, for their work on asymmetric catalysis. They have established for the first time that small organic molecules are suitable as mediators of chemical reactions. Previously, science assumed that only enzymes and metals, including often toxic heavy metals or expensive and rare precious metals, could accelerate chemical reactions and steer them in a desired direction. The small organic molecules that Benjamin List and Davin McMillan introduced as catalysts are particularly suitable for asymmetric synthesis. In this process, only one of two enantiomers is produced – these are molecules that are like the left and right hand, which emans they cannot be spatially aligned. Such molecules are involved in all biological processes and also play an important role as medical agents.

Ludovic Vallier, who recently moved to Berlin, will set up a lab at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics (MPIMG) in September 2022. Here, he plans to focus on basic research into the stem cell biology of the liver, closely collaborating with the researchers of the MPIMG. Vallier joined the Berlin Institute of Health at the Charité (BIH) as Einstein Professor and Group Leader earlier this year.
Sure, only a small portion of these will progress to
Whenever you visit a website, send an email, or do your online banking in the future, in many cases algorithms developed with the participation of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy in Bochum and the Ruhr University Bochum will be used to encrypt your data. The American National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has now announced which cryptographic methods it will standardize to protect communications from future quantum computer cyberattacks. Peter Schwabe, Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy, was involved in the development of three of the selected procedures. Most online services use the methods standardized by the NIST.
As Schwabe admits: „We know for sure that this has
