Chaos ensued on German roads this week after Google Maps wrongly informed drivers that highways throughout the country were closed during a busy holiday. Many of the apparently closed roads were located near large German cities and metropolitan areas, including Berlin, Düsseldorf and Dortmund. As reported by a locally based journalist for The Guardian , drivers opening Google’s navigation app would see a swarm of red dots used to indicate no-go areas, which resulted in people looking for altern

Pruney fingers and toes after a long time in the pool or the bathtub are one of those things we all expect but couldn’t explain scientifically until recently. In 2023, Binghamton University biomedical engineer Guy German and colleagues found that this happens because the blood vessels in our digits contract when we spend too much time in water. Then a kid asked a brilliant question that triggered a whole new research project. “A student asked, ‘Yeah, but do the wrinkles always form in the same

The Awful German Language Mark Twain from A Tramp Abroad A little learning makes the whole world kin. --Proverbs xxxii, 7. I went often to look at the collection of curiosities in Heidelberg Castle, and one day I surprised the keeper of it with my German. I spoke entirely in that language. He was greatly interested; and after I had talked a while he said my German was very rare, possibly a "unique"; and wanted to add it to his museum. If he had known what it had cost me to acquire my art,

In Königsberg on 8 September 1930, David Hilbert addressed the yearly meeting of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Physicians (Gesellschaft der Deutschen Naturforscher und Ärzte). Generally regarded as the world’s leading mathematician, Hilbert was born and educated in Königsberg and spent the early years of his career there. Retiring at age sixty-eight from his professorship at Göttingen, he was being honored by his home city. Hilbert forcefully delineated a basic tenet of his resear

When Germany deployed magnetic mines early in the war, Britain countered with aircraft that could explode them by mimicking a ship’s magnetic signature. On September 3, 1939, two days after Germany invaded Poland, the German submarines U-13, U-14 and U-17 started laying three fields of magnetic-influence mines on the sea floor just off Britain’s east coast. Within days, four ships totaling 14,575 gross registered tons were sunk and another 10,391 GRT of shipping was damaged. Although mines were

Why it matters: A new "grand coalition" is set to debut in the Bundestag, Germany's federal parliament.

New research says a discounted public transport subscription in Germany has drastically lowered CO2 emissions in the country. The cost of the subscription is €58 a month, but some are saying it should be cheaper. A low-cost subscription ticket for public transport in Germany, known as the "Deutschlandticket," is greatly beneficial for the environment, according to new research. A study funded by the German government recorded an annual CO2 savings of 4.2 million to 6.5 million tons due to the

The hyper-courtly Sir Thomas Wyatt wrote a verse satire in the mid-1530s that begins: ‘My mother’s maids, when they did sew and spin,/They sang sometime a song of the field mouse.’ Wyatt goes on to relate the song, which is pretty much the story of the town mouse and the country mouse as told by Horace in his Satires with some added shivers of late Henrician courtly horror. Did Wyatt’s mother’s maids read Horace? Were they reciting a folk tale they had received by oral transmission? Or (more pr
