Giant Dinosaurs
The sauropods were the largest animals that ever lived. Modern-day heavyweights are barely any match for these prehistoric giants. These dinosaurs continue to pose unanswered questions: How did the largest ever land-dwelling beings get to be that size? Using their fossilised bones, researchers are attempting to unlock the secret to the dinosaur’s incredible size.
The City of 5 Million
Worldwide, the number of cities with a population of over five million is steadily increasing. What is life like for the inhabitants of these megacities? How do people cater for their daily needs? Such cities are almost impossible for the state and official authorities to govern. To compensate for this, forms of self-organisation arise to enable life to continue in such tightly packed communities. Taking Delhi, Dhaka and the Pearl River Delta as examples, Frauke Kraas takes a first-hand look at living conditions in megacities.
The Wave Hunters
Does the universe wobble? Following the theoretical prediction of Albert Einstein, researchers are trying to measure gravitational waves. They occur as a result of tiny distortions in spatial geometry. With their research, the wave hunters hope to expand our understanding of space and time. With their experiments, the physicists from Hanover are working at the quantum limit. The problem: the measurements require extremely powerful and precise technologies in order to keep the gravitational waves from disappearing into the background noise of the light particles. To meet this challenge, a new technology is being used: squeezed light. Will they be successful in directly verifying gravitational waves for the first time?
