Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology have developed a model capable of calculating the impact of long-term glacier changes on the climate.
future, and if so, what part of the Earth system might be involved, such as the Amazon
The desert ant’s use of its own built-in GPS – consisting of a sun-compass-based path integration system and visual landmarks – in locating its nest is a known phenomenon. Researchers recently ascertained, however, that this system also includes a sense of smell. Even more surprising is the discovery that these animals learn to distinguish between different odors in the nest environment, and use these like a map. Markus Knaden and his team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena set out to search for clues in ant country.

The Max Planck Society established one of the first technology transfer institutions in Germany; formerly named Garching Instrumente, this company is now known as Max Planck Innovation GmbH. Over the last 50 years, the company has supervised more than 4,500 inventions and concluded 2,500 license agreements. Almost 80 percent of the roughly 160 spin-offs supervised by Max Planck Innovation are still in business today; seven of them have even made it to the stock exchange.
The corporate technology groups Bosch and Amazon are also investing heavily in this
New findings from researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland help to explain how toxic and allergy-causing substances in our air are formed. The scientists have for the first time detected long lived reactive oxygen intermediates on the surface of aerosol particles. These forms of oxygen survive here for more than 100 seconds and in that time react with other air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides. Chemically speaking, the dust particles are oxidized and nitrated. This is what makes soot particles more toxic and increases the potential of pollen to cause allergies.
