Clouds are more difficult to understand than they may seem. Current weather and climate models still simplify many of their complex structures, making clouds one of the biggest uncertainties in climate research. Now, more than 40 researchers — including scientists from the TROPOS Institute in Leipzig — are launching an ambitious measurement campaign using drones, a helicopter and dozens of sensors to study clouds in unprecedented detail. | more
If radioactive substances enter the body, it can quickly become a medical emergency. Yet only very few drugs exist worldwide to treat such contamination. A doctoral researcher from Dresden is developing new compounds designed to remove radioactive elements from the body. He has now been awarded an international scholarship for his work. | more

Radioactive substances such as americium can enter the human body in accidents and accumulate in the kidneys. Researchers at TU Dresden and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf have now for the first time systematically investigated what exactly this does there and how to get rid of the dangerous intruders. Their findings could improve treatment after radiation accidents. | more
Where to put highly radioactive nuclear waste? One of the most pressing questions of our time. Researchers from Dresden, Görlitz, Freiberg and Darmstadt want to use artificial intelligence to calculate how safely radioactive waste can be stored deep in the rock - for a million years. | more
