We’re halfway through the Göttinger Literaturherbst! 📚 5 of 10 evenings in the Scientific Lecture Series are already in the books. Here are a few impressions from the first half. 📸 What’s still to come 👇(tickets still available, but limited!)

Two of the 2026 #Medicine #NobelPrize winners, Peter Hegemann & Georg Nagel, made their prize‑winning discoveries during their time at Max Planck Institutes: our warmest congratulations! 🎉(and yes, we’re feeling just a tiny bit 'nobel' today, too!😉) @mpibiochem.bsky.social @mpibp.bsky.social

ℹ️ Science background info: Once up and running, our new mass spectrometer will enable faster, highly sensitive proteomics analyses including work with very small sample amounts and, potentially, single-cell samples. So stay tuned for cutting edge research news from our institute!

Made it! 🎉 Our new Orbitrap Astral Zoom is safely inside and ready for its new home in the Core Facility for Mass Spectrometry, led by Henning Urlaub. A big thank you to our building services, the freight forwarding and crane services for making this special delivery happen!

Even the balcony was specially shored up to safely support the 900 kg load.

Special delivery: We couldn’t get our new 900 kg piece of high-tech equipment through the front door – so our new mass spectrometer arrived by crane!

Researchers have developed a kind of “flight simulator” for sperm. No joke! This method allows observing physiological reactions & motor behavior of cells in real time.
