Security gaps in software enable cybercrime through hacker attacks. A team led by Marcel Böhme at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems has developed Greybox Fuzzing to test the security of programmes.
Summary Software developers need to make sure that their programs are not vulnerable
Catalysts crank up chemical reactions. Without them, the large-scale production of chemicals would be unthinkable. And whoever finds the best catalysts can manufacture more efficiently than anyone else. With astonishing creativity, the scientists headed by Ferdi Schüth, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in Mülheim an der Ruhr, continue to develop effective new alternatives. The key to their success lies in cooperation between specialists in different disciplines.
“But despite that, we are not one hundred percent sure how they function.”
For two years now, the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg has had a new department where researchers study the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. Its young director Laura Kreidberg has made a name for herself with sensational observations and is one of the lucky ones who will be observing with the new James Webb Space Telescope.
Kreidberg was not sure whether this line of research was not a short-lived trend.

She was the first female student to be admitted to a Dutch university, the first to complete a university education and the first female physician in the Netherlands: Aletta Henriette Jacobs (1854-1929) leaves a remarkable legacy as a feminist, suffragette, pacifist, and human rights activist, who campaigned for women’s birth control rights and sexual health.

Well, they actually did it. And the whole world knows about it now, even if the news is tens of thousands of years old. It was, of course, a juicy story for the world’s media: Neanderthals mated with modern humans! But for Svante Pääbo, Department Director at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, this is not the most important aspect of his discovery.
Scientists were not even sure that DNA could be extracted from mummies.
Life expectancy in India, in itself an important indicator of the country’s development, is tapering off: The rapid increase seen in previous years has come to a worrying halt, while the difference between individual regions can be as much as 10 years or more.
conflicting picture: Between 1970 and 2004 life expectancy rose significantly – a sure

In college they called him Stump – as in tree stump – because of his physique and his strong will. Today, former football player Samuel Young is a renowned neuroscientist. Using innovative tools and sophisticated techniques, he would like to find out how nerve cells communicate with one another. The head of a junior research group at the Max Planck Florida Institute is the quintessential researcher. But his career took an unconventional path.
but unfortunately, he didn’t have the same educational opportunities that he made sure
The amounts of carbon dioxide and other trace gases that vegetation and soil exchange with the atmosphere affect the climate in a variety of ways. Markus Reichstein and his colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena are analyzing this complex structure – with the aid of a global network of measuring stations and new data analysis methods.
The researchers aren’t sure how much carbon is bound in the soil, or how long it
