Our model reproduces the basic theoretical expectations regarding the collisional damping of indestructible particles in discs. In discs in which particle mass can be changed by cratering and catastrophic disruption, the critical projectile-to-target mass ratio determines how efficient collisional damping is.

Hydrogen-rich superconductors are promising candidates to achieve room-temperature superconductivity. However, the extreme pressures needed to stabilize these structures significantly limit their practical applications. An effective strategy to reduce the external pressure is to add a light element M that binds with H to form MHx units, acting as a chemical precompressor.

Extrasolar debris disks are detected by observing dust, which is thought to be released during planetesimal collisions. This implies that planetesimals are dynamically excited (“stirred”), such that collisions are sufficiently common and violent. The most frequently considered stirring mechanisms are self-stirring by disk self-gravity, and planet-stirring via secular interactions.

The ordered areas of proteins are readily studied. Consequently, a great deal is known about the role of these areas in the biological function of the respective proteins. However, an international research team led by biochemist Prof. Dr. Ute Hellmich has shown that disordered areas are also pivotal.
