Exhibition “inVISIBLE” presents biomedical images and art

Presenting 24 images of cells, tissues and organisms, scientists at the Multiscale Imaging Centre of the University of Münster offer insights into their research. Additionally, a twelve-metre-high wall installation sheds light on biomedical imaging from an artistic perspective. The exhibition opening, featuring tours with scientists, will take place on 2 February (Sunday). On 4 and 11 February, light projections on the artwork can be experienced.

Humboldt postdocs strengthen the model theory research group

As a Henriette Herz Scout, Prof. Dr. Franziska Jahnke can recommend postdocs from abroad for a Humboldt Research Fellowship. Now the investigator at the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster has taken this opportunity to bring Dr. Mariana Vicaria and Dr. Floris Vermeulen to Münster. In this interview, they talk about their reasons to come to Münster, their research projects, and their start.

How does your research contribute to the energy transition? Three examples

“What contribution does your research make to the energy transition?” We asked three scientists from the University of Münster. Chemists Johannes Eike Erchinger and Dr. Anna Isabella Gerlitz and geographer Dr. Christian Krajewski provide insights that shed some light on energy research at the University of Münster.

A smooth transition

What do museum professionals think should be in every job description in the cultural sector? “Steady nerves and a lot of patience,” agree Dr Helge Nieswandt and Dr Torben Schreiber. Helge Nieswandt, curator of the Archaeological Museum since 2002, passed the baton to Torben Schreiber.

Behavioural biologists on the public perception of animal research

In this interview, Prof. Helene Richter and Prof. Melanie Dammhahn outline the problems which researchers face, explain why experiments on animals are necessary, and describe what a more nuanced assessment of research with and on animals could look like.

Portrait of physicist Ursula Wurstbauer

Ursula Wurstbauer is Professor of Nanoelectronics at the Institute of Physics. Together with her working group, she wants to understand the fundamental properties of materials.

University aims to strengthen nominating culture

With the slogan “Ausgezeichnet! Have you already nominated a colleague this semester?” the Safir research funding support, in conjunction with the Rectorate, aims to motivate as many researchers as possible to nominate colleagues – or themselves – for research prizes and awards. We have collected the most important questions and answers relating to the new campaign.

New insights into the transformation dynamics of antimony

At the Institute of Materials Physics, materials are investigated that can transform their internal structure in the shortest possible time and thereby significantly change their optical properties. A team led by Prof. Dr. Martin Salinga showed which phases the chemical element antimony undergoes during its transformation.

Introduction to this year’s dossier: How we deal with energy will decide our future

The energy sector is responsible for around three-quarters of all greenhouse gases detrimental to the climate. CO2 emissions need to be drastically reduced if climate change is to be tackled; but the global demand for primary energy could rise by one-third by 2040. The dossier “Energy for the future” is dedicated to the diverse energy research at the University of Münster.

Energy for the future

Heating, cell phones, PCs, transportation, food production, consumer goods: Everything needs energy. How can we use our resources more efficiently? Researchers at the University of Münster are coming up with numerous environmentally friendly solutions. In a new six-month dossier, the Communication and Public Relations department will be highlighting some of the most promising approaches in hopes of generating positive energy for a challenge facing all of society.

Studying for exams like a pro

When the tension rises among students and the fight for library carrels begins, it is a sure sign that the exam period has arrived! For many, it is a challenging time. But what helps against physical and mental stress? Amrit Malhotra and Sebastian Gräfe from the Student Advice and Counselling Centre and two students provide tips for the exam phase.

New insights into the immune response of plants

A team headed by biologist Prof Jörg Kudla has identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.

Membrane tension regulates cellular repair

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer “wounds” in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again. Researchers at the University of Münster have now identified the processes that enable the precise closure of such membrane injuries. Their findings were recently published in the journal “Advanced Science”.
