University of Würzburg physicists have succeeded in creating a new type of laser. Its operation principle is completely different from conventional devices, which opens up the possibility of a significantly reduced energy input requirement. The researchers report their work in the current issue of Nature.

In cancer cells, the genome is often in a chaotic, unstable state. Now, a research group from the Würzburg Biocenter describes which enzymes can stabilize DNA in the journal “Nature”.

With learning processes, nerve cells in the brain forge new links and strengthen or weaken existing connections. But what actually happens at the molecular level has remained largely unknown. Now Würzburg researchers have shed light on some fundamental details.
