Promotional banner for "Dresdner Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften" (Dresden Long Night of Sciences) taking place on June 20, 2025, from 5 PM to midnight. The left side features white text on a black background with colorful, artistic imagery of a human head

Join us on June 20 for Dresden Science Night!

The image is divided into two sections. On the left, there is a black-and-white microscopic photograph showing a round, dark central shape with two thin, elongated structures extending outward. A small inset in the top right corner provides a magnified view of one of these structures, revealing its curved shape. A black scale bar is present in the bottom right corner of the photograph. On the right side of the image, there is a detailed illustration of a bundle of long, tube-like structures arranged in a cylindrical shape. Some of these tubes are highlighted in red. The bundle is bent, and a curved arrow is drawn around it, indicating a twisting or rotating movement. The tubes appear to be arranged in a repeating pattern. At the top left corner of the image, there is a green and blue banner with the word "News" written in white text. The banner has a geometric, octagonal design.

B CUBE Graduate Awarded 2024 Georg Helm Prize for Outstanding PhD Thesis

A schematic diagram comparing microtubule structures and molecular transport in a "Wild Type Cell" and a "Modified Cell." The top section illustrates a wild-type cell with a detyrosinated B-tubule and a tyrosinated A-tubule, showing directional molecular transport with black arrows. The bottom section represents a modified cell where both A- and B-tubules are tyrosinated, leading to disrupted transport, represented by a red explosion-like shape. Dashed arrows and motion symbols indicate changes in movement.

Exploring Life at Its Simplest: Scientists Create a "Minimal Cell Membrane" with Just Two Lipids

A scientific visualization. In the center of a white background, an oval pattern is formed by small, colored dots. The dots follow a rainbow-like color gradient around the oval. Surrounding the oval are bundles of curved, overlapping lines in the colors that correspond to the color in the circle - including blue, purple, red, orange, yellow, and green tones. Below the circle, a curved arrow indicates movement from left to right. Next to the arrow is the Greek letter "φ". In the bottom left corner is a color wheel with the same rainbow colors as the large oval. The color wheel is labeled "π" on the left and "0" on the right.
