For 205 days in 2011, Jens Titze, Professor of Electrolyte and Circulatory Research at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, and his team strictly controlled the diet for the Mars500 test subjects during their virtual flight to Mars. Sometimes the selected food contained a lot of salt, sometimes very little. The unexpected result of the longest sodium metabolism study to date was that the assumption that the human body would excrete the salt within 24 hours was incorrect. Instead, the human body stores salt for much longer before releasing it – an important discovery for medical research and patient care.]]>Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:50:00 +0100feed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.dlr.de/dlr/presse/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10172/213_read-5990/Data Safe for Researchhttp://www.kit.edu/visit/pi_2013_12446.phpHelmholtz - All Press ReleasesTue, 08 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0100feed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.kit.edu/visit/pi_2013_12446.phpSeismic Fabric Coming on the Markethttp://www.kit.edu/visit/pi_2013_12443.phpHelmholtz - All Press Releases
In the case of earthquakes, only seconds may remain for a safe escape from buildings. Debris falling down and obstructing the escape routes may even aggravate the situation. A product developed at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) extends the time for saving lifes by reinforcing walls and keeping off the debris. An innovative building material manufacturer now has launched the mature innovation on the market.]]>Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0100feed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.kit.edu/visit/pi_2013_12443.phpSuperconductors for Efficient Wind Power Plantshttp://www.kit.edu/visit/12436_12442.phpHelmholtz - All Press Releases
An efficient, robust, and compact wind power plant with a 10 MW superconducting generator is being developed by partners from industry and science within the recently established EU project SUPRAPOWER. Superconduction enables considerable savings of energy and raw materials. Within SUPRAPOWER, researchers at KIT’s Institute for Technical Physics (ITEP) develop a rotating cryostat cooling the superconducting coils down to minus 253°C - a temperature crucial for electric current flow without resistance.]]>Fri, 04 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0100feed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.kit.edu/visit/12436_12442.phpA Shield Against Cancerhttp://www.dkfz.de/en/presse/pressemitteilungen/2013/dkfz-pm-13-01-A-Shield-Against-Cancer.phpHelmholtz - All Press Releases

Dr. Andrei Varykhalov and his colleagues in the group of Prof. Dr. Oliver Rader investigated at BESSY II the electronic properties of nickel coated with graphene and achieved an astonishing result. They could show that the conduction electrons of the graphene behave rather as light than as particles. Physicists had originally expected such behavior only for freestanding graphene layers which show a perfect honeycomb structure and not for graphene on nickel which disturbs the perfect hexagonal symmetry. Their results are supported by calculations of two theoretical groups using novel concepts. Their report was published yesterday evening in the open access journal, Phys. Rev. X, the new top...]]>Fri, 21 Dec 2012 10:00:00 +0100feed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/pubbin/news_seite?nid=13643;sprache=en;typoid=3228DLR researches maritime flight missions using unmanned aircraft systemshttp://www.dlr.de/dlr/presse/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10172/213_read-5925/Helmholtz - All Press ReleasesThu, 20 Dec 2012 08:00:00 +0100feed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.dlr.de/dlr/presse/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10172/213_read-5925/Field of cancer research continues to expand: new Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf Institute of Radiation Oncology openshttp://www.hzdr.de/db/Cms?pNid=99&pOid=38346Helmholtz - All Press ReleasesThu, 20 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0100HZDRfeed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.hzdr.de/db/Cms?pNid=99&pOid=38346Field of cancer research continues to expand: new Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf Institute of Radiooncology openshttp://www.hzdr.de/db/Cms?pNid=99&pOid=38346Helmholtz - All Press ReleasesThu, 20 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0100HZDRfeed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.hzdr.de/db/Cms?pNid=99&pOid=38346Death in the egg: as embryos, shore crabs have nothing to protect themselves against climate changehttp://www.awi.de/en/news/press_releases/detail/item/death_in_the_egg/?cHash=6e98259ab49edba336bb03a9efc25426Helmholtz - All Press ReleasesWed, 19 Dec 2012 12:26:05 +0100feed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.awi.de/en/news/press_releases/detail/item/death_in_the_egg/?cHash=6e98259ab49edba336bb03a9efc25426Interuniversity Options for Geoscience Studentshttp://www.fz-juelich.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilungen/UK/EN/2012/12-12-19geoverbund.htmlHelmholtz - All Press ReleasesWed, 19 Dec 2012 10:00:00 +0100feed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.fz-juelich.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilungen/UK/EN/2012/12-12-19geoverbund.htmlPreventive Detention for Oxidizing Agentshttp://www.dkfz.de/en/presse/pressemitteilungen/2012/dkfz-pm-12-66-Preventive-Detention-for-Oxidizing-Agents.phpHelmholtz - All Press Releases
Oxidative stress is believed to cause a number of diseases. Up to now, it has been common practice to measure oxidative stress levels by determining the oxidation state of a small molecule called glutathione in cell extracts. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) have been the first to discover that cells under stress deposit their oxidized glutathione in a cellular waste repository. This protects cells from oxidative stress – and questions the validity of the conventional measuring method.]]>Mon, 17 Dec 2012 11:27:00 +0100feed_themeonline@helmholtz.de (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)http://www.dkfz.de/en/presse/pressemitteilungen/2012/dkfz-pm-12-66-Preventive-Detention-for-Oxidizing-Agents.php
