New material for extracting carbon dioxide from air and exhaust gases
Quantum chemical calculations by HU enable the development of porous materials distinct by a high adsorption capacity for CO₂:
Climate experts agree: To tackle the climate crisis, we will not only need to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions but also directly filter the harmful gas from air and exhaust gases. To this end, scientists are…

Studying together what belongs together
The new BA-level study course IMP at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin combines three core scientific subjects: computer science, mathematics, and physics:
When Laura Michaelis sought to enroll at Humboldt University in 2016, she was initially uncertain. She was interested in the natural sciences but didn't want to commit to just one discipline. This was before the…
Romantic relationships are more important for men than for women
Analysis of more than 50 studies reveals unexpected gender differences:
Most of us probably assume that romantic relationships are more important for women than for men. In any case, romantic relationships are a much more popular topic in women's magazines than in magazines aimed at men.…

Supercharging talent
How the Technology Park in Adlershof supports the next generation of STEM professionals:
According to a study, around one-fifth of young people aged ten to 16 have a ‘fear of mathematics.’ This applies equally to most STEM subjects. Why? And what can we do about it? For Tobias Bohnhardt, these findings…
Long-term psychological study on parenthood and well-being
Kids or no kids – men and women are equally satisfied across almost the entire lifespan:
Having children makes people happy, especially women – this is a common societal belief. But how do mental health, well-being and feelings of loneliness change in parents compared to women and men without children…

Almost 100 scientists, young researchers and founders came together to the Adlershof Research Forum on 11.11.2024 at Erwin Schrödinger Centre to discuss current developments and challenges facing the science location…

Feeling ever younger
Researchers of Berlin’s Humboldt-Universität show: People today feel younger than the generations before them:
A glance in the mirror tells us that felt age must not match our chronological age. A 37-year-old suffering from sciatica might exclaim: “I feel like I’m 80!” But how old do 70-year-olds feel whizzing by on racing…
