Maps of conflict often appear objective. But who decides what is shown on them? A new online atlas from the Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography in Leipzig presents conflicts in Eastern Europe from different perspectives and reveals how such maps are created. | more
When breast cancer affects the bone, it begins behind the scenes. Until now, this process could hardly be observed. Researcher Jana Sievers-Liebschner from the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden and her colleagues have developed a gel model that mimics bone tissue in a deceptively realistic way. This makes it possible for the first time to observe how cancer cells penetrate the bone - and what can stop them. | more

The smartphone, the solar cell, the electric car battery - each of these everyday objects is the result of years of materials research. In Dresden, two Leibniz Institutes want to radically shorten this process with artificial intelligence. Their joint project aims to predict which materials and combinations will work before the first experiment even starts. | more
Ground measuring stations only show part of the air pollution. An international study with Leipzig's participation proves this: At an altitude of 100 meters, particulate matter pollution can be 60 percent higher. Drones with inexpensive sensors help to close this knowledge gap and improve predictions. | more
Every Instagram post leaves a digital trail. Researchers from Dresden have analyzed 66 million social media posts and created a map that shows where Germans go to relax and where tourists go. The results help to better protect natural areas and bring planning closer to people's needs. | more

Chronic wounds often do not heal because excessive inflammation blocks the healing process. The Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden has now spun off its tenth company. ResCure GmbH plans to launch an innovative wound dressing on the market in 2027 that neutralizes inflammatory messengers. In laboratory tests, wound healing was accelerated by up to 50 percent. A clinical trial is already underway. | more
In future, nanoparticles will be used to distribute drugs in the body in a targeted manner. But how does the blood react to these tiny helpers? A study from Dresden shows that both the mass and number of particles are crucial. | more
Die meisten Führungskräfte wissen, was gute Führung ausmacht. Sie kennen Kommunikationstechniken, besuchen Seminare und haben zahlreiche Managementbücher gelesen. Und doch geraten viele im Alltag immer wieder in Situationen, die sie verunsichern: schwierige Mitarbeitergespräche, Konflikte im Team, weitreichende Entscheidungen oder der Spagat zwischen wirtschaftlichem Druck und menschlicher Verantwortung. | more
