Fatih Akin heads the newest wave of prize-winning filmmakers in Germany with his productions,
which often rely upon chronotopes such as rootlessness and homecoming to increase …

The decades-long struggle to define German multicultural society takes place in relationship
to state and popular assumptions about the nature of German and Western secularism. …

Cells are integral to all forms of life due to their compartmentalization by the plasma membrane.
However, living organisms are immensely complex. Thus there is a need for simplified …

We present the STM investigation of four different oligopyridines at the liquid/highly oriented
pyrolytic graphite interface. The heteroaromatic compounds are constitutional isomers …

A large German research consortium mainly within the Max Planck Society (“MaxSynBio”)
was formed to investigate living systems from a fundamental perspective. The research …

In a miniemulsion polymerization, droplets are transformed to polymer particles keeping the
particle size and composition during polymerization. To avoid changes due to coalescence …

The origin of life is shrouded in mystery, with few surviving clues, obscured by evolutionary
competition. Previous reviews have touched on the complementary approaches of top‐down …

Among several nanoparticle properties, shape is important for their interaction with cells and,
therefore, relevant for uptake studies and applications. In order to further investigate such …

Understanding the complex behavior and dynamics of cellular membranes is integral to
gain insight into cellular division and fusion processes. Bottom‐up synthetic cells are as a …

We report on a surfactant-free synthesis of Pickering-stabilized submicrometer-sized capsules
in inverse miniemulsion. Functionalized silica nanoparticles are able to stabilize water-in-…
