Everything about STEM

Will quantum effects soon make our lives faster and better – or are many of the promises still just science fiction?How can we even begin to imagine quantum phenomena, given that the behavior of the tiniest particles involved is so difficult to grasp? Physics professor Artur Widera explains the fundamental laws and significance of the quantum world.

Heat, drought, and even unexpected frosts during an unusually warm spring – the effects of climate change are increasingly taking a toll on agriculture. Researchers and plant breeders around the world are analyzing ways to counter these challenges. One approach: genetically modifying crops so that they can withstand drought, high temperatures, and other changing environmental conditions.
