This is a picture in a home the two children are studying. This is a study table there are three laptops and the boy is looking into the laptop and the girl is doing some work. On the top of the table there is book also and a cup of tea in a cup and there are two candles with a flame and the background there is a window and there is a table also and this is a refrigerator on the top of the refrigerator they stick some notes in paper and this a floor.

From cellular breakthroughs to children’s sci-fi: This week’s top science and literature milestones

Scientific breakthroughs and literary debuts abound this week. Researchers at the University of Vienna have discovered new triggers for mitophagy, while Michael Bonitz, a renowned professor at Kiel University, launches a science-fiction series for children.

At the Max Perutz Labs, scientists have shed new light on mitophagy, a crucial cellular self-cleaning process. They found that WIPI proteins bind to mitophagy receptors NIX and BNIP3, challenging current understanding of mitophagy signaling pathways.

Meanwhile, Michael Bonitz, known for his prolific academic output, is venturing into children's literature. His new series, 'The Green Planet', begins with 'Adventures in Space'. The book combines scientific curiosity with imaginative space adventures, aimed at readers aged 10 and up. Einstein’s theory of relativity features prominently in the first installment.

In other news, Laura König-Mattern has been recognized with the 2025 German Study Award. Her work focuses on developing computational methods to identify optimal solvents for separation processes in biorefineries, driving sustainability in the chemical industry.

At Montanuniversität Leoben, Christian Mitterer and his team have developed a rapid test system. Similar to a breathalyzer, it detects viruses, bacteria, and fungal spores with remarkable sensitivity, promising swift and accurate diagnostics.

These advancements in science and literature are set to impact various fields, from cellular research to sustainable chemistry and children's education. The University of Vienna's discovery could lead to new insights in mitophagy, while Michael Bonitz's series may spark young readers' interest in science. Laura König-Mattern's award-winning work and Christian Mitterer's innovative test system both contribute to a more sustainable and healthier future.
