Since 1951, the Lindau
Nobel Laureate Meetings
have enabled scientific
exchange between generations, disciplines
and cultures.
Jayeeta Saha, participant of #LINO70 and #LINO22, completed her PhD within the last year. In this post she presents her research about hydrogen production and gives some tips on sessions in the mediatheque from the 70th Lindau Meeting.
#LINO22 participant Conor Crawford introduces us to the so called “glyco verse” where sugar molecules play the central role.
The James Webb Space Telescope is expected to shed light on the formation and evolution of galaxies, expose distant habitable worlds and much, much more.
Lučka Bibič participated in #LINO70 and is exited to experience the Lindau Meeting onsite this summer. She is an expert for science communication and gamification.
Fifty years ago, 1972, Gerald M. Edelman and Rodney R. Porter were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discoveries concerning the chemical structure of antibodies”. Antibodies play a integral role, in medicine, for example during the corona pandemic.
Robert Mayer deals with questions around the origin of life. As #LINO70 was a great experience for him,he is looking forward to participating onsite this year
The Standard Model of particle physics is under scrutiny. Will it be confirmed or revised? This article gives an overview about the current discussions.
Lindau Alumnus Perparim Limani is integral part of a team that is developing a new approach to treat cancer.
The Prize of the Sveriges Riksbank in Economic Sciences will be awarded to three professors who have spent their careers carrying out experiments in real life.
One sense is shared by all living organisms: Touch. David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian share the Nobel Prize in Medicine/Physiology 2021 for their discoveries of receptors for touch and temperature.
Benjamin List and David MacMillan receive the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of a powerful and sustainable method that has revolutionised the way to synthesise many important compounds.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 will be awarded to three scientists who have been predicting climate change for a long time.
The use of open source hardware, the publication of data on physical objects, is expanding. Lindau Alumnus Lukas Winter is very involved in this issue.
Three ideas from Physics to produce energy in a climate-friendly way.
What are the most promising strategies to stop climate change?
Reinhard Genzel was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 “for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the centre of our galaxy”. Explore his fascinating work lab and learn more about the research techniques and special instruments applied to detect distant supermassive objects in space like Sagittarius A*.
Nobel Laureates J. Georg Bednorz, Serge Haroche, Sir Konstantin S. Novoselov as well as medical scientists Amy Shepherd and Lillian Tugume focus on academic and non-academic career paths for scientists, and show what alternative paths are available.
In this lecture, Nobel Laureate Robert H. Grubbs gives examples of how sustainable catalytic processes can be used for the cost-effective extraction of petroleum carbon and other energy sources, as well as for curbing emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
In this lecture “Structural Studies of Enzyme Action” (1980), William N. Lipscomb elucidates the structures of large and complex enzymes and analyzes their regulatory mode of action. In his words “enzymes are not just inert templates on which the reaction occurs (…), enzymes do chemistry”.
The Topic Cluster “Radioactivity and X-rays” introduces the scientific research of radioactive radiation and shows its fields of application for energy generation, in medicine as well as the use of radioactive radiation as a means of warfare.
How do physical models prove climate change? Why can we perceive temperatures and touch? What does it mean when organic molecules accelerate chemical reactions? The new Nobel Poster Series presents the groundbreaking discoveries that were awarded the Nobel Prize in 2021.
