Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time - as researchers and experts unanimously confirm. But what does this mean in concrete terms for the Harz Mountains?

Dr Friedhart Knolle takes a detailed look at the facts, background and future prospects of this topic, especially in the Harz Mountains and Lower Saxony.

Three years ago, the International Space Station dropped a battery from the ISS. Now the media are reporting that this space debris is hitting the Earth. The fact is that the Earth is surrounded by space debris.

The fight against multi-resistant germsis urgently needed and realistic with bacteriophages (from the Greek: "bacteria eaters", short: phages), the viruses that can only recognise and attack bacteria like in a lock-and-key principle and are harmless to all other living organisms. In the scientific lecture, microbiologist and phage expert Dr Christine Rohde from the Leibniz Institute DSMZ GmbH* in Braunschweig explains the possibilities, but also the limits of phages and phage therapy and where the path should quickly lead.

In the Science Talk, Prof Dr Altenmüller will approach the significance of music from an evolutionary and comparative perspective. He will introduce the audience to music psychological and neurobiological findings on emotions when listening to music and making music and establish a link to the history of human development. Prof. Dr med. Dipl. mus. Eckart Altenmüller
Director of the Institute for Music Physiology and Musicians' Medicine at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media.

Electromagnetic fields surround us everywhere in everyday life. They occur when we use our mobile phones or operate electrical devices. In contrast to X-rays, these fields are not ionising and therefore cannot cause any direct changes to genetic material. Nevertheless, there are also limit values that protect us from health consequences.

We look forward to hearing Dr Alexander Leymann.

Discover the future of infrastructure monitoring! At TU Braunschweig, experts Prof Dr Gerke and Jan Backhaus, M. Sc., are working on moving from traditional inspection methods to predictive monitoring. High-resolution drone images are used to recognise and predict damage to buildings. Find out more at Meet the Scientist at phaeno, where the researchers will present their research projects portAI and BridgeInspekt . Do you have questions about drones? Our scientists have the answers.

The number of vehicles on Germany's roads continues to rise and the transport of goods is also constantly increasing. As a result, the transport sector is not producing fewer emissions, but more and more. How can we still manage to reduce these as far as possible by 2045 and thus meet our climate targets?

Max Schüttenhelm is working at Volkswagen in cooperation with TU Dresden on the composition of renewable fuels and their possible applications.
