Paper of the Month

Papers in scientific journals are a crucial output of our research. They are the most important communication channel to share scientific findings and discoveries with the scientific community and to encourage a discussion thereof. Thus, papers are a substantial part of our competence as a research institute. With the series “Paper of the month” we want to call attention of a broader audience to our results.
