Dear reader,

in the current issue of hoch³ FORSCHEN – the science quarterly – you´ll find the following topics:

The virtual cancer patient
At the interface between biology and algorithms: Professor Heinz Koeppl and his team develop computer models for personalised medicine.

Veganism and Masculinities
Meat has long been thought to guarantee masculinity. How gender is defined by diet during the “veggie boom” is explained by Professor of Sociology, Tanja Paulitz, and her research associate, Martin Winter.

Storing light with water
In association with Professor Wolfram Jaegermann and Dr. Bernhard Kaiser, materials scientists are exploring the basis for an amazingly simple way to store energy: water splitting.

Blockchains in real-time
Blockchains promise widescale open Internet applications that are organised decentrally. This comes at the price of slow performance for every transaction processed by the system. Cryptography researchers around Professor Sebastian Faust have achieved global awareness with their approach to facilitating real-time transactions using blockchains such as Ethereum.
