Machines in dialogue

https://www.mpg.de/10359299/cyber-physical-systems

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.
,“ explains Majumdar: „We throw away certain pieces of information, but we make sure

One species, many origins

https://www.mpg.de/13917010/one-species-many-origins

A group of researchers argue that our evolutionary past must be understood as the outcome of dynamic changes in connectivity, or gene flow, between early humans scattered across Africa. Viewing past human populations as a succession of discrete branches on an evolutionary tree may be misleading, they said, because it reduces the human story to a series of “splitting times” which may be illusory.
Sure, non-Africans today have some ancestry from Neanderthals, and some have appreciable

Chemistry Nobel Prize 2021 for Benjamin List

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.
I’m sure others have tried it and know why it didn’t work…“

Immune functions traded in for reproductive success

Max Planck researchers are the first to investigate the phenomenon of sexual parasitism in deep-sea anglerfish. They show that this very rare mode of reproduction is associated with the loss of adaptive immunity. In the course of evolution, however, the animals have reorganized their immune systems and survive only with the help of their innate immunity.
To make sure that all pathogens are efficiently recognized, the MHC molecules are
