Nanotechnology and Biotechnology at the Centre for New Technologies Scientists have begun to explore a new cosmos: a long-neglected world in miniature. This microcosm exists on a scale far below that which is visible with the aid of a light microscope: smaller than a bacterium, but larger than the individual atoms and molecules that were the focus of physics and chemistry in the 20th century. On a scale of nanometers billionths of a metre this cosmos contains an abundance of complex structures. The secret of life is also based on these structures. Only recently has modern laboratory made it possible to collect precise date on this hidden world. Biologists, chemists, physicists and materials researchers are working together to understand and configure matter at this level. Their vision is the selective creation of structures and systems at the nanolevel. Breitsameter, Hauser, Hauser, Kampschulde (eds): 2011 120 Pages, 1 CD

Coffee is one of the most intensively traded raw materials in the world. From farmers in Ethiopia or Vietnam whose livelihood depends on it, to those working on Wall Street who start their day with a coffee to go, to researchers in Costa Rica ñ this fascinating stimulant shapes the everyday lives of people all over the world. In the special exhibition "Cosmos Coffee", the Deutsches Museum approaches this versatile beverage from a scientific as well as a sensual perspective. In this book that accompanies the exhibition, renowned scientists from various disciplines shed light on the multi-faceted nature of "black gold" and its inherent contrasts. Coffee is a highly engineered and monetised natural product that is shipped around the world as a mass commodity some of which is produced by small businesses laboriously and by hand. In some countries, drinking coffee symbolises social status and in different cultures, coffee has even made social revolutionary history. This richly illustrated volume takes you on a pleasurable and surprising journey through "Cosmos Coffee". Melanie Jahreis: 2019 203 pages Hardcover
