Perspectives
Research Perspectives 2010+ of the Max Planck Society
The Max Planck Society conducts research at the frontiers of knowledge. For this reason, we always pay particular attention to any research fields that are dynamically developing and present new scientific challenges. The Research Perspectives series was created with a view to providing insight into the fields regarded by the Max Planck Society as particularly innovative and pioneering. This is the third edition of the series, and the 2010+ issue ventures once again beyond familiar horizons. After all, the exploration of the unknown lies in the very nature of basic research.
