For the very first time, researchers have created a complete catalogue of genes and traits of the eggplant. Their findings pave the way for more robust, climate-adapted, and high-quality varieties that secure long-term crop yields and preserve diversity in agriculture. Jülich scientists were involved in the study along with teams from six other countries.

The international APARC report on the Hunga volcanic eruption in 2022 provides new insights into the extent to which individual extreme events can change the global atmosphere – and why such processes must be taken into account in climate assessments and political decisions. The project was coordinated by the APARC International Project Office based at Forschungszentrum Jülich.

An innovative neutron source, designed by Jülich scientists, has been shortlisted for the German federal funding programme for large-scale research infrastructures.

Computer chips generate a lot of heat and require a lot of energy for cooling. Electronics that operate at very low temperatures could reduce power consumption by up to 80 %. Prof. Qing-Tai Zhao explains how in this interview.

Prof. Svenja Caspers studies the many factors that influence individual brain development. Her research focuses on how the brain ages – a process that varies enormously from person to person. A topic in the new issue of effzett.
