Award for MaxPlanckResearch

A total of 194 publications from seven countries participated in the first international corporate media award, a competition reflecting trends in the area of corporate media. MaxPlanckResearch was presented with an Award of Excellence: "What particularly impressed us was the manner in which the magazine utilise images. Images were optimally used to illustrate abstract contents. In addition, images showing scientists within the context of their research work were intelligently selected and integrated into the page layout. MaxPlanckForschung provides an excellent overview of the broad spectrum of the Max Planck Society's research subjects." (Excerpt from the jury's appraisal).

Viewpoint

Where the World Seeks Redress

For the past decade, individuals, too, can be summoned to
The Hague – chosen after World War I as the seat of the
International Court of Justice – to be called to account for
international crimes.

Physics & Astronomy

Tinkering in Uncharted Technological Territory

Many of the instruments and devices physicists need for their research must first be designed – and their manufacture often requires fiddly precision work.

Dust in Space

Stars are created from dust and they create dust
– astrophysicists use every instrument and theory
to investigate the many and varied facets of this cycle.

Biology & Medicine

Cell Evolution in Fast Motion

How were plant cells, and thus higher forms of life on Earth, able to evolve from bacteria? Ralph Bock, Director at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Golm, has been exploring this question for many years.

Material & Technology

Ulrike Krewer

When direct methanol fuel cells can fi nally be used as energy sources for a wide range of applications, we will probably have Ulrike Krewer to thank for it.

Culture & Society

Toward a Life of Longing?

Researchers conducted the first-ever study of how life longings arise, how they effect us and what their purpose is – and they fathomed a complex and deeply human emotion.
