Editorial

Editorial
Scientific progress knows no boundaries – and it speaks English, even here in Germany and at our university. As English is the lingua franca of science, “Faszination Forschung” will be published only English from now on. We will not be translating the articles into German so we have even more space to bring you hot-off-the-press news from the world of research.

Titelgeschichten / Cover stories
