Bonn University rowers succeed at EUREGA 2025
The University of Bonn's rowing teams once again proved their endurance and class at this year's EUREGA. At the traditional long-distance regatta on the Rhine - from Neuwied and from the Loreley to Bonn over a distance of 45 and 100 kilometers respectively - the boats from Bonn achieved excellent placings.
Early galaxies contribute to the “afterglow” of the universe
The “afterglow” of the universe is an important piece of evidence for the Big Bang. This background radiation also provides important answers to the question of how the first galaxies were able to form. Researchers at the Universities of Bonn, Prague and Nanjing calculate that the strength of this radiation has probably been overestimated up to now. If the results prove to be accurate, it would call into question the theoretical foundation of the standard model of cosmology. The results have now been published in the journal “Nuclear Physics B.”
Bacterium Produces “Organic Dishwashing Liquid” to Degrade Oil
The marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis feeds on oil, multiplying rapidly in the wake of oil spills, and thereby accelerating the elimination of the pollution, in many cases. It does this by producing an “organic dishwashing liquid” which it uses to attach itself to oil droplets. Researchers from the University of Bonn, RWTH Aachen University, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and research center Forschungszentrum Jülich have now discovered the mechanism by which this “organic dishwashing liquid” is synthesized. Published in the prominent international journal Nature Chemical Biology, the research findings could allow the breeding of more efficient strains of oil-degrading bacteria.
An inexhaustible source of profound questions
Finding the best possible solution to complex problems with the help of mathematics, computer science and economics - that is the goal of Professor László Végh, who has been the University of Bonn's new Hertz Chair for Algorithms and Optimization since August 2024. Together with his transdisciplinary team, he develops efficient algorithms and expands our understanding of the limits of computability. The inaugural symposium on 25 April 2025 provided a broad insight into the various research areas - from game theory to the latest developments in the theory of optimization.
