Painting with molecules

Dortmund-based biochemists are able to draw patterns in cells. All that is needed to paint with “molecular ink” is a laser and light sensitive molecules.

Matthijs Groenewolt (BASF), Markus Mechtel (Covestro), and Thomas Heußer (Audi) developed the first bio-based clearcoat for cars.

Bio-based coating for cars

A pan-German collaboration of Audi, BASF, and Covestro developed a new bio-based car coating. Thus reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions during production.

Wenn Nährstoffmangel besteht, können besonders effiziente Pflanzen ihre Wurzelarchitektur ändern und längere, seitlich ausscherende Wurzeln ausbilden. So haben sie einen größeren Radius, um die Nährstoffe aufzunehmen.
When nutrients are scarce, particularly efficient plants can alter their root architecture.

How plants search for nutrients

Researchers led by the Technical University of Munich have discovered how plants compensate for fluctuations in nutrients: they form lateral roots, thereby expanding their search radius.
