Scientists from more than 70 countries gathered at the 2011 Meeting of Nobel Laureates in Lindau this summer to discuss the world’s greatest health challenges and how to tackle them. The young researchers followed in these films are working on malaria, cancer, viruses and more. They are also learning how to be scientists; how to write grant applications, how to collaborate with other research groups, and how to find the right career path

A joint cooperation between three research groups at nanoGUNE reports an innovative method to focus infrared light with tapered transmission lines to nanometer-size dimensions. This device could trigger the development of novel chemical and biological sensing tools, including ultra-small infrared spectrometers and lab-on-a-chip integrated biosensors.
