What are the consequences of rising CO₂ concentrations in the atmosphere for wheat? On World Food Day, 16 October, a study involving the Forschungszentrum Jülich shows that the composition of key proteins is changing—and with it, baking quality.

Together with their partners, Forschungszentrum Jülich and the DACStorE project are sharing their scientific expertise on CO₂ capture at the COP31 World Climate Conference in Antalya. The focus is on the conditions under which direct air capture (DAC) can contribute to climate protection in East Africa and local value creation.

Why do our grids show a brief spike in electricity demand every minute? A team led by Dirk Witthaut from Forschungszentrum Jülich has now demonstrated that this is due to regular power checks carried out by large-scale battery storage systems. These findings could help to make our electricity supply more robust, as the team reports in an article published in Nature Energy.

For nearly five years, 26 research institutions, companies and start-ups have joined forces in QSolid to develop a quantum computer using cutting-edge German technology. Now, Germany’s largest national consortium project of its kind to date, coordinated by Forschungszentrum Jülich, takes stock.
