Politics Society Elections & Politics AfD election posters, as pictured above during the 2024 EU election against solar panels and wind turbines, rely on exaggerated claims and remove nuance from climate discussions, say researchers. Photo: CLEW / Wettengel The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) – the second strongest polling party ahead of Germany's snap elections on 23 February – is the only major party to outright reject the scientific consensus behind human-induced climate change.

Spheres represent cells swimming down an electric sea. Credit: Julien Marcetteau for the Barriga Lab/PoLHow cells utilize electric fields to guide their migration during embryonic development. As an embryo develops, cells constantly communicate to organize into tissues and organs. This process requires cells to interpret various environmental signals, which can be chemical or mechanical. However, these signals alone do not fully explain how cells migrate collectively.

Leaftronics A research team at Technical University of Dresden, Germany, has succeeded in developing fully biodegradable printed circuit boards. The approach, known as "Leaftronics", uses the natural structure of leaves to produce electronic substrates and promises a sustainable, efficient and scalable solution to the global e-waste problem. Electronic devices, from toys to smartphones, consist of circuits.

AbstractLittle is known about specific safety aspects in children with significant comorbidities receiving the mRNA vaccine BNT162b2, as approval studies did not address this population. This study’s purpose is to evaluate safety and adverse events in these children compared to healthy children. In this prospective, multicentre, industry-independent cohort study, caregivers whose children received BNT162b2 were asked to participate in an online questionnaire.
