Friday Science Bites

Join Alex and Gréta in today's episode to learn how printing on glass surfaces like cooking stove tops is possible thanks to the unique composition of tiny droplets.

Discover with Niko and Leon how super-resolution microscopy and cryo-fixation are helping scientists capture the dynamics of life at the nanoscale.

What if fighting brain cancer means growing brain organoids in a dish and shooting them with a particle accelerator? Greta and Esther are giving an insight into brain tumor models.

How can we print larger organs and what do doughnuts and gummy bears have to do with it? In this episode, Caro and Jamina Gerhardus chat about bioprinting and how it is used to mimic organ functions

What is albedo, how does it effect us and how can it be measured from space? Today, Jose Luis and Leon are giving and insight into remote sensing data with satellites.

Leon and Anjuli Franz have a discussion around the societal implications of malicious privacy violations. Learn about the interdependence of privacy and how Doxing threatens key democratic functions.

João Carvalho joins Caro to talk about reinforcement learning: his work focusses on teaching manipulation skills to robots through machine learning approaches.

Lisa Abendroth is joining Gréta to talk about chromosomes. This time in Vibiro cholerae, and ones that are shaped like circles - find out more with us.

Nicolò Cogno and Leon have a discussion around radiation therapy and heavy ions. Learn about the GSI particle accelarator, one of the largest in Europe and about computer models of the lung.

Caro and Lisa-Marie Maurer are discovering the colorful world of RNA-Aptamers.

Mengguang Li shares his work on drones in large groups. What exactly do we mean by that? Join Leon and find out more about decentralized robotic systems.

Gréta and Timon Hummel talk about the difficulties of detecting CO2 from space via satellites. Join us to learn more about spectrometers and the difficulties of measuring anthropogen gases.

Leon and  Charles (Yuxin Liu) are going to talk about how small molecular drug-discovery works and why it is particularly relevant for us. 

In this episode Caro is finding out more about sex-chromosomes and their epigenetics, their hereditary properties with Maruthi Kumar Pabba. Find out why we call them the X and Y chromosomes. 

Today Gréta is discussing synthetic biological circuits and how researchers are building up an artificial environment for gene expression with Alina Kuzembayeva. 

Join us for a short chat on what Friday Science Bites is all about, who we are and what to expect from upcoming episodes.
