TUM researchers derive practical tips for airing rooms to prevent pollen allergies

One in five persons in Germany suffers from a pollen allergy. During pollen season, the question of how to air rooms without triggering allergies constantly arises. A team at the Professorship of Ecoclimatology at the Technical University of Munich systematically investigated pollen concentrations in office spaces and derived practical tips for airing rooms from the data.

Using magnets to improve memory

The ability to remember sounds, and manipulate them in our minds, is incredibly important to our daily lives -- without it we would not be able to understand a sentence, or do simple arithmetic. New research is shedding light on how sound memory works in the brain, and is even demonstrating a means to improve it.
