Hubert Wolf talks about digital humanities in the "Asking the Pope for Help" project

The “Asking the Pope for Help” project is analyzing the petitions that Jewish people sent to Pope Pius XII and the Church during the Shoah. Besides these petitions, the project is also editing documents in the Vatican archives that relate to the respective “cases”, and will make extensive teaching materials available at a later date. The lecture will use a number of examples to illustrate how the project’s database and web app work, and the DH methods that underpin such a project.

Study on battery recycling shows China is in 1st place

A team headed by business chemist Prof. Stephan von Delft from the University of Münster has concluded that China will be the first country worldwide to become independent of the need to mine the raw materials which are essential for batteries. They have also established that this development could be accelerated in all the regions they looked at – including Europe and the USA.

To prepare the mRNA samples, the researchers add magnetic beads to the vials. The modified mRNAs bind specifically to these beads. A magnet (white block) behind the vials enriches the modified mRNAs. The series of images (one to four) shows how the beads with the mRNA accumulate on the back of the vial within about one minute.<address>© Uni MS - Nadine Kück</address>

Asia Minor Research Centre uncovers city archives in Doliche

Archaeologists from the Asia Minor Research Centre have uncovered the city archives in the ancient city of Doliche in south-eastern Türkiye and recovered more than 2,000 seal impressions used to seal documents. The team led by Prof. Michael Blömer and Prof. Engelbert Winter from the University of Münster made an important discovery that provides information about ancient administrative practice.

Online survey about the website of Münster University

With over seven million visits in 2022 alone, the central website of Münster University is an important information portal. One of the reasons for the Web and Design department and the Center for Information Technology (CIT) to continuously improve the website. An online survey marks the starting point for the planned relaunch of the website.

Walter Heindel and Stefanie Weigel receive Hufeland Prize

For their work on the systematic early detection of breast cancer through mammography screening, Prof. Dr. Walter Heindel and Prof. Dr. Stefanie Weigel have received the Hufeland Foundation's award of 20,000 euros. In the presence of numerous top representatives of the German medical profession, the prestigious prize was awarded on October 12th in Cologne.

In the particles examined, the shape of the cluster depends on how strongly the orientation of the particles influences their propulsion speed.<address>© Copyright: S. Bröker et al. (2023), Physical Review Letters 131, 168203</address>

Unexpected behaviour discovered in active particles

Physicists have now shown that, depending on the extent to which the propulsion speed of active particles is dependent on their orientation, clusters in different shapes arise in many-particle systems. This might be a possible key to the realisation of programmable matter.
