🔎 130,000 years of climate history in 2,700 meters of core samples – that's the Eifel Laminated Sediment Archive (ELSA) at #MainzUniversity. The unique geoarchive has been built and expanded by geoscientist Professor Frank Sirocko over the last 25 years. Even though he will soon be taking his well-earned retirement, drilling projects in the Eifel will continue ...

Tiny projections on the surface of human cells can determine whether we stay healthy or develop a genetic disorder. Cell biologist Helen May-Simera is an expert on these hair-like structures called #cilia. Her research explores the impact these tiny components can have. Her work bridges fundamental molecular science with clinical relevance, direct patient engagement, and international teaching 👉 https://www.magazine.uni-mainz.de/the-big-impact-of-tiny-cell-structures/

How can fresh #water be obtained from #seawater without conventional #desalination? Professor Sebastian Seiffert and his team at #MainzUniversity have developed a promising approach: HydroDeSal uses a hydrogel that reacts to changes in temperature. It draws water from the sea when its cooler and releases drinking water when temperatures rise. The application is now to be made ready for the market.
