The immune system is the most important system an organism relies on for defending itself against pathogens. All organisms have an immune system; however, it remains unclear as to why species and populations within a given species display significant variations in their immune responses. Finding answers to such questions has until now been hampered by the difficulty in recording immune responses in wild animals. With the help of advances in radiotelemetry technology, researchers from Princeton University and the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Radolfzell have now succeeded, for the first time, in documenting population differences in fever in a vertebrate species living in the wild, the North American song sparrow (Melospiza melodia).

populations: the Californian sparrows recorded a body temperature of over two degrees Celsius
hybrids are produced that only grow as a dwarf form at temperatures below 14 degrees Celsius
In the future, physicists will be able to follow a new lead in their search for new materials for electronic components, for example. An international team of researchers headed by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart is the first to accurately observe how the physical properties of a substance – or to be more precise of the metal oxide lanthanum nickel oxide – change when it is used in two-dimensional, instead of three-dimensional form. In fact, a film consisting of two layers of material exhibits completely different electronic and magnetic effects when cooled to very low temperatures than does a film comprising four layers. The ability to control the physical characteristics via the dimension as well opens up new possibilities to identify materials from which the chips of the future could be made.

Im Modell einer Membranen ordnen sich Glycosylphosphatidylinositol, die zu den aus Zucker und Fetten bestehenden Glykolipiden gehören, zu rafts an und bilden dabei eine kristalline Struktur. Die von P. Seeberger und C. Stefaniu am Max-Planck-Institut für Kolloid- und Grenzflächenforschung gewonnenen Erkenntnisse über die Bildung von Domänen in der Zellmembran sind für die Glykobiologie von Bedeutung, da Fehler in dem Prozess Krankheiten wie Alzheimer und BSE hervorrufen können.

The researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics want to fetch the Sun’s fire to Earth. A future fusion power plant is to produce energy by fusing nuclei of the two heavy hydrogen isotopes, viz. deuterium and tritium, to form helium.
