Why the Webb Telescope Will Rewrite the Cosmic History Books
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.
Participants of #LINO22 – Virtual Lab Simulations
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.
The Chemistry of Antibodies
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.
Participants of #LINO22 – Fundamental Questions
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
A Crack in the Foundations of Particle Physics?
The Standard Model of particle physics is under scrutiny. Will it be confirmed or revised? This article gives an overview about the current discussions.

Starting Careers
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.
Robert H. Grubbs: Green Chemistry and Catalysis
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.
William N. Lipscomb: Structural Studies of Enzyme Action
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”.
Radioactivity and X-rays
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.
Nobel Posters 2021
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.
