No place for bullies in science 2018-07-09T04:00:00Z The bodies were uncovered just a few years ago, the teeth pulled and sent westward to the Max Planck Institute in Germany, where Maria Spyrou was working on a Ph.D. in paleogenetics. Ancient Teeth Unlock Plague Secrets 2018-06-08T04:00:00Z Planck cosmologist Erminia Calabrese of Cardiff University, UK, is pushing for Europe to join LiteBIRD, a proposed Japanese probe that would look for the signature of cosmic inflation while keeping costs down. Big Bang telescope finale marks end of an era in cosmology 2018-07-19T04:00:00Z Whereas earlier CMB studies left room for a fourth neutrino type, the Planck data indicate that only the three known types exist. Reports of sterile neutrino’s resurrection may be greatly exaggerated 2018-06-04T04:00:00Z The finding complements one reported earlier this spring by Wieland Huttner, a neurobiologist at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany. Trio of genes supercharged human brain evolution 2018-05-31T04:00:00Z Recall Max Planck’s position: “I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness.” Coming to Grips with the Implications of Quantum Mechanics 2018-05-29T04:00:00Z If you zoomed in to the Planck scale, an almost inconceivably small size of 10–35 meter, they thought you would see something like a chessboard. What Is Spacetime? 2018-05-24T04:00:00Z Julien Carron, a Planck postdoc at the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK, has already joined one of these projects, the Simons Observatory in Chile. Big Bang telescope finale marks end of an era in cosmology 2018-07-19T04:00:00Z Simon Neubauer, a physical anthropologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, said the finding did support the idea that both brain size and brain organization are important to human evolution. Tiny Brains of Extinct Human Relative Had Complex Features 2018-05-14T04:00:00Z Observations of the cosmic microwave background — the relic radiation from the Big Bang — by the Planck Collaboration17 indicate that there was less star formation in the early Universe than the present authors’ results suggest. Distant galaxy formed stars only 250 million years after the Big Bang 2018-05-15T04:00:00Z Reionization after Planck: the derived growth of the cosmic ionizing emissivity now matches the growth of the galaxy UV luminosity density. The onset of star formation 250 million years after the Big Bang 2018-05-15T04:00:00Z “The atoms of space are not the smallest portions of space,” says Daniele Oriti of the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam, Germany. What Is Spacetime? 2018-05-24T04:00:00Z A map of the Universe’s cosmic microwave background radiation, and its polarization, measured by the Planck satellite.Credit: Big Bang telescope finale marks end of an era in cosmology 2018-07-19T04:00:00Z The tension emerged from independent measurements made by another ESA craft—Planck. Cosmic Conflict: Diverging Data on Universe's Expansion Polarizes Scientists 2018-05-16T04:00:00Z The findings are impressive in some ways and frustrating in others, notes Paul Heggarty, a historical linguist at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany. These Asian hunter-gatherers may have been the first people to domesticate horses 2018-05-09T04:00:00Z “I think it's pretty spectacular,” says Michael Petraglia, a paleoanthropologist at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History who was not involved in the work. 700,000-Year-Old Stone Tools Point to Mysterious Human Relative 2018-05-02T04:00:00Z “It’s really nuts,” said Ms. Wessling, now a graduate student at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Hints of Human Evolution in Chimpanzees That Endure a Savanna’s Heat 2018-04-27T04:00:00Z A transformative era in cosmological science ended this week when the European Space Agency’s Planck telescope released its final maps of the early Universe. Big Bang telescope finale marks end of an era in cosmology 2018-07-19T04:00:00Z There is indeed a “European angle on AI” that values privacy, transparency, and fairness, says Bernhard Schölkopf, a machine learning researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, Germany. With €1.5 billion for artificial intelligence research, Europe pins hopes on ethics 2018-04-25T04:00:00Z Yet the team decided to go ahead with the announcement, buoyed by data from a slide used for a 2013 talk by a scientist affiliated with BICEP2’s chief competitor, the European Space Agency’s Planck satellite. The trouble with the Nobel prize 2018-04-15T04:00:00Z The Planck estimate relies on what is known as the standard model of cosmology. How gravitational waves might help fundamental cosmology 2018-04-10T04:00:00Z "They are essential to your health," says Prof Ruth Ley, the director of the department of microbiome science at the Max Planck Institute, "your body isn't just you". More than half your body is not human 2018-04-09T04:00:00Z Alexander Peltzer, a population geneticist at the Planck Institute and an author on the first Egyptian mummy DNA paper, said that Loreille’s genetic findings fit well with what his team had found. The mystery of the mummy’s head: How the FBI helped crack a 4,000-year-old case 2018-04-06T04:00:00Z "We've been waiting for this for 30 years," says Thomas Udem, an experimental physicist at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, who works on precision measurements of hydrogen. Atoms and antiatoms haven’t crashed Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity—yet 2018-04-04T04:00:00Z New data from the Planck satellite later revealed that dust had led the BICEP2 team to misread the results.
