The question of the origins of life still remains an open problem. Various groups at Max Planck Institutes are investigating this genuinely existential question. Some scientists, for example, suspect that the building blocks for organisms have literally fallen from the sky. Other researchers are also focusing on the role played by RNA molecules in the development of life, as well as the problem of the first cells – and experts in the lab are investigating the dynamics of biomembranes.
On the contrary, these patients are classified as a danger to the public.

This issue focuses on energy research, in line with the ‘Future Energy’ theme of the Science Year 2025. We report on how Batene GmbH, a spin-off from the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, is making batteries more powerful and cheaper and could give the battery industry in Germany a boost. The biggest competition in Europe comes from Hungary. The country is massively promoting battery production – with far-reaching consequences. Completely new possibilities in energy supply will arise if the business model of Proxima Fusion, which emerged from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, works out. The company wants to develop a nuclear fusion reactor by 2031 that generates more energy than it consumes.
These fast radio bursts are far enough away that they pose no danger to humanity.

With expected damage claims estimated as high as 90 billion Euros, the nuclear accident in Fukushima represents the largest liability case in Japanese history. Claims for compensation are expected from various categories of victims, including evacuated plant workers and citizens, impacted farmers and fishermen, and representatives of industry and tourism. Notwithstanding the unlimited liability imposed on nuclear operators under Japanese law, lump-sum State payments have been initiated in connection with extra-judicial proceedings.

Some animals produce more offspring than others do. Hormones like prolactin and corticosterone can exercise a crucial influence on the behaviour of birds in the breeding season and therefore on their reproductive success. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Radolfzell and their colleagues at the universities of Princeton and Edinburgh have now demonstrated that hormone levels not only play a key role during the breeding season, but already dictate, long in advance, how many eggs a breeding pair will lay, when they will lay them and how often. An animal’s hormonal constitution is thus of major significance for its reproductive success, and is possibly an important driving force of evolution.
