Buildings, streets and shops are not the only things that change over time, people do too. Their sense of identity changes as much as their urban perceptions and dreams.
Cities need electricity – but not continuously while it’s being generated by wind or sun. Engineers study ways of storing excess capacity in a sustainable manner.
RUB is becoming ever more popular among researchers from overseas. What the figures show in the ranking is confirmed by two researchers from the USA in an interview.
Wind power stations are partially controlled via mobile phone networks. This carries risks.
There is not much room in cells. The molecules are tightly packed. Does this influence their function? And do experiments have to take this influence into account?
Computer simulations and experiments with cells have yielded promising results.
Only a small number of highly respected researchers receive this honour.
