In Insulin’s Footsteps: Engineering Fluorescent Proteins in Bacteria
Diabetes, known since ancient Egypt as the "sweet disease," was once treated with starvation — limiting patients to just 240 calories a day (roughly half the size of a Snickers bar). In 1921, insulin was discovered in dog pancreases, sparking a revolution in insulin production from pigs and cows.

Algae: A Matter of Life and Death – a Molecular Journey from the Bottom of a Lake to the Top of the Atmosphere
Phytoplankton are tiny organisms floating in lakes, rivers, and oceans, yet they are responsible for producing over half of the oxygen we breathe. While forests often get all the credit, these microscopic life forms are quietly shaping the planet. They form the base of aquatic food webs, help regulate the

World of Interferometry: a Lens for Both the Cosmic and the Quantum
Ever wondered how we can measure something a thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair? Interferometry is the answer—a brilliant technique that uses the interference of light to detect incredibly tiny distances. Its applications span a vast range of scales—from detecting gravitational waves caused by

Painting the Planet to Cool Down – How Albedo Matters
Understanding how our planet maintains its temperature is essential for facing the challenges of climate change. A key factor in this balance is albedo – the fraction of sunlight that Earth reflects back into space. This concept affects everything from melting polar ice to the design of white rooftops in urban
