pplpodMax Planck: The Architect of Quantum PhysicsThis biographical entry chronicles the life and monumental achievements of Max Planck, the German physicist revered as the pioneer of quantum theory. It details his educational path from Munich to Berlin, where he transformed our understanding of thermodynamics and black-body radiation by discovering the energy quantum. His scientific breakthroughs earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 and led to the naming of the Planck constant, a fundamental pillar of modern science. Beyond his research, the text explores his leadership roles in major scientific societies and his complex experiences navigating political turmoil and personal tragedies during both World Wars...

Wem gehört Deutschland? Der heimaten Podcast aus dem Haus der Kulturen der WeltEpisode 8: Wem gehört Deutschland also wirklich?, mit Max Czollek und Linus Westheuser
In der achten und letzten Episode des Podcasts Wem gehört Deutschland? spricht Max Czollek mit Linus Westheuser über Eigentumsverhältnisse. Westheuser ist promovierter Soziologe, trockener Lyriker und ab 1. Januar Senior Researcher am Max Planck Institut für Sozialwissenschaft in Göttingen. Wie hängt eine zunehmend elitenorientierte Politik mit der Migrantisierung politischer Debatten zusammen? Was hat ein steigendes Gefühl der Unsicherheit und Dysfunktionalität staatlicher Institutionen mit dem Rückbau von „Sozialeigentum“ (Robert Castel) zu tun? Auf welche Weise verbindet sich diese Perspektive mit Fragen der Antidiskriminierung, die zuvor im Podcast verhandelt wurden? Und wie müsste eine progressive Po...

Brilliant Scholars And Their ContributioMax Planck – Founder of Quantum TheoryThis episode explores the life and legacy of Max Planck, the German physicist whose discovery of quantum theory transformed science forever. Born in 1858, Planck initially believed that physics had nearly reached completion, but his work on blackbody radiation revealed a paradox that classical physics couldn't explain. In 1900, he proposed that energy is emitted in tiny, discrete packets—later called quanta—each proportional to its frequency, introducing Planck's constant. This revolutionary idea resolved the "ultraviolet catastrophe" and laid the foundation for quantum mechanics, influencing future giants like Einstein, Bohr, and Heisenberg. Planck's insight revealed that the microscopic world obey...

Wir blicken zurück auf die Theorien der Antike, streifen skurrile Vorstellungen von Samen und Homunculi und erleben, wie technologische Fortschritte unser Verständnis der Fortpflanzung revolutionierten. Ich erzähle, warum es über zweitausend Jahre dauerte, bis wir wirklich verstanden, wie Kinder entstehen – und warum manche Irrtümer erstaunlich lange überlebten.

Spanning nearly four centuries – from 280 to 589 AD to be exact – China fragmented into more than two dozen kingdoms at its peak. Social structures were installed and destroyed, competing canons of thought compiled, and multiple sects took shape. And yet, the Period of Division also witnessed an unprecedented flourishing of culture, innovation, and creativity. Together with historians Noa Hegesh and Keith Knapp, host Stephanie Hood journeys into this understudied era of Chinese history. How could art and culture thrive unde...

Offen und ehrlich spricht Recruitment Officer Annika Hampel über die Herausforderungen, mit denen sich Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler in deutschen Forschungseinrichtungen auseinandersetzen müssen – befristete Verträge, starke Hierarchien, enormer Leistungsdruck. Auch weiß sie zu berichten, dass potenzielle Bewerberinnen und Bewerber aus dem Ausland sich von Berichten über die überbordende Bürokratie, die schwere deutsche Sprache und die vermeintlich fehlende Gastfreundschaft abschrecken lassen. Warum sie dennoch aus voller Überzeugung und mit gutem Gewissen wissenschaftliche Talente aus der ganzen Welt ans Freiburger Max-Planck-Institut holt, berichtet sie in der neuen Folge unseres Podcasts.

Max Planck Florida’s Neurotransmissions Podcast78. Could Sleep be Nature's Time-out? | Giorgio F. GilestroSleep is a highly conserved behavior among the animal kingdom, appearing as distant as jellyfish and elephants. It is generally believed that sleep serves a crucially important yet mysterious “core function” that is shared among all animals and that drives its evolution, but the evidence behind this hypothesis is lacking.

Max Planck Florida’s Neurotransmissions Podcast31: Peering into the Fly Brain with Dr. Vivek JayaramanSometimes studying smaller, simpler problems can give us valuable insights into larger, more complex ones. On this episode of Max Planck Florida's Neurotransmissions podcast, Joe and Dan Wilson, former IMPRS student and current postdoc at Harvard, sit down with Janelia Group Leader Dr. Vivek Jayaraman to discuss his circuitous path from aerospace engineering to neuroscience. Learn how the simplest of circuits, the crab stomatogastric ganglion, inspired him to delve deeper into neural networks, and led him to study the fruit fly.

PhD Career Stories#045: Max Planck Alumni Association group discussionOur guests today are the Max Planck Alumni Irene, Maria, Sneha and Arnold, whom we met at the 2nd Max Planck Symposium for Alumni and Early Career Researchers in Berlin in early September last year. In one of the breaks, we got the chance to sit down with these inspiring people to discuss the importance of keeping in contact with peers through your alumni association. We also talk about how events such as the Max Planck Symposium for Alumni and Early Career Researchers can broaden your horizon on possible career opportunities after a PhD and also help...

Conversations Beyond Science and Religion - Philip ComellaConversations Beyond Science And Religion – Sir James Jean & Max PlanckThe world needs a vision and for a vision we will need a Mind. As the physicist, Sir James Jeans, said almost a century ago, “today there is a wide measure of agreement, which on the physical side of science approaches almost to unanimity, that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great machine.”
And then, as Max Planck, the founder of quantum theory, said, “mind is the matrix of all reality.” Quantum theory shows the physical world is made not of things...

Max Planck Florida’s Neurotransmissions Podcast#16: Metabolic Mayhem: Energy Homeostasis with Dr. Jens BruningEverything we do requires energy, so it's not surprising that our brains are wired to regulate how we acquire and use that energy for survival. In this episode, Joe is joined by Dr. Jens Bruning, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research in Cologne, Germany, to discuss how the brain regulates feeding behavior and energy use in the body. Dr. Bruning also describes the surprising ways in which our evolutionary history conflicts with our current lifestyles in a way that contributes to modern day health problems. After hearing this, you won't think about food the same way again!

Max Planck Florida’s Neurotransmissions Podcast#6: Biology and Sexism - Equality for Women in Scientific CareersWomen are awarded over half of all doctorate degrees in the life sciences, but account for a small fraction of high-ranking academic positions. To investigate this phenomenon, Joe and Misha explore the various barriers and experiences unique to women in science with Dr. Leslie Vosshall of The Rockefeller University, Dr. Na Ji of Janelia Research Campus, and Ellie Hozhabri at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience.

Ciencia y genios - Cienciaes.comMax Planck y el enigma del cuerpo negro.Nuestra visión del mundo ha ido cambiando con el tiempo. Los avances en el conocimiento de la luz, su naturaleza, la forma de propagación, la descomposición de la luz blanca en sus colores básicos o su pertenencia a un conjunto más amplio de radiaciones electromagnéticas marcaron nuevas formas de visión del Universo. Cuando todo ello parecía cuadrar en un marco coherente, el científico Max Planck dinamitó el conocimiento con una revelación sorprendente: La luz, o la energía en general, no es continua, se mueve en pequeños paquetes a los que llamó...
