Knowledge transfer vs. possessiveness: How the 'Gollum effect' hinders research and careers
Data and findings are not always shared openly in science. Sometimes, researchers hoard those data and provide little to no access to colleagues from their field. These were the results of a survey of 563 researchers from 64 countries conducted by scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig. The so-called "Gollum effect" hampers collaborations and harms the careers of less established researchers, claims the team.

How bacteria swim without food, and why it matters for the climate
Marine bacteria control how much CO2 is stored in the oceans, by swimming after and degrading sinking particles that would otherwise remain stored in the ocean for millennia. Researchers have discovered that some bacteria can swim for several days without food while searching for these particles, losing body weight in the process. Understanding how marine bacteria do this may lead to a better prediction of marine carbon storage capacity and climate mitigation.

Friction variation creates Tête de Moine's signature cheese flowers
Tête de Moine, a semi-hard Swiss cheese that often finds its way onto charcuterie boards and salads, not only brings a rich, nutty and creamy flavor, but also adds a dramatic flare to the presentation. Instead of slicing, this cheese is shaved into delicate rosettes using a tool called a Girolle whose rotating blade gently scrapes thin layers of cheese into ruffled curls. These pretty cheese flowers are known to enhance the flavor and texture due to their high surface-to-volume ratio.

Yes, astronomy-mind friends, this is a gamma ray burst, almost like the very cosmic explosions we see in deep space produced when stars go supernova — except right here on Earth. And thankfully, a lot less deadly. For the first time, a team of researchers in Japan have witnessed one of these earthly gamma ray blasts, known as [...]

Try more than double its current size big, according to new research from Caltech — boasting enough volume to fit 2,000 Earths inside it with room to spare. Over time, the bloated world cooled off, contracting to the humbler size it is today. The findings, published in a new study in [...]

Launched on May 17, the rocket took off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.

Pioneering the Nuclear Glue Frontier
A team of physicists has embarked on a journey where few others have gone: into the glue that binds atomic nuclei. The resultant measurement, which was extracted from experimental data taken at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, is the first of its kind and will help physicists image particles called gluons. The paper revealing the results was published May 22 and featured as an editor's suggestion in Physical Review Letters.

Excellence Strategy: University of Halle Receives Funding for a Cluster of Excellence for the First Time
The Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) is one of the winners of the Excellence Strategy. MLU applied for the Cluster of Excellence "Center for Chiral Electronics" (CCE) together with the Freie Universitat Berlin, the University of Regensburg and the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle. The Cluster of Excellence will receive up to 64.5 million euros in funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) and will start in January 2026. It will initially run for seven years. Research will focus on new concepts for high-performance and energy-efficient electronics.
