How will we live in the future?
Opening of the DRESDEN-concept science exhibition in front of the Dresden Kulturpalast
We are the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG)
We do pioneering basic research. 500 curiosity-driven scientists from over 50 countries ask: How do cells form tissues? Our research programs span multiple scales of magnitude, from molecular assemblies to organelles, cells, tissues, organs, and organisms.
Scientists have recorded the shortest measurement of time in history: 247 zeptoseconds!🥳That's the time it takes for a #photon to cross a hydrogen molecule. *Note: one #zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second😮 cosmosmagazine.com/science/physic… @goetheuni @desy @fhi_mpg_de
