This period is marked by the considerable groundwork that had to be undertaken in the construction of the research infrastructure, and by the gradual build-up of its staff. In early 2017, the Research Pro - gram reached the projected size of the research group, and, together with the General Admin- istration and the Archives of the Max Planck Society (AMPG), in 2016 laid the necessary foun- dation to access, administer, and use the digital sources. As can be seen in the following pages, the Research Program is engaged in and enriched by a number of interconnected research ac- tivities with regards to content, concepts, and methods. At the same time, we have accepted the challenge to produce a readable and comprehensive history of the MPG. This is therefore an op- portune time to consider what has been already achieved, and to ponder the next steps that will lead the program to its conclusion. Of course, this report represents work in progress, and is de- liberately selective. However, we have written it with an eye toward the course and projected outcome of the whole program. The research report presents in its first chapter the scope, working methods, and aims of the re- search program, followed by an outline of first research findings and results. It then introduc- es the focus areas that we have selected to analyze and portray the history of the MPG. These are, in order of their presentation, governance and finance, social history, gender, and the poli- tics of the past (Vergangenheitspolitik), in both national and international perspectives. Next, in the third chapter, the research clusters are described. The fields chosen and worked on exten- sively so far are astrophysics, materials research, green biology, law, and history. The focus of the fourth chapter is on the research infrastructure, that is, the digitization project and the da- tabases involved. In chapter five the building arrangements for the project are illustrated. The research report concludes with a number of appendices with additional materials, for example, on the workshops held. At this point, the Research Program would like to thank the President of the MPG, Prof. Dr. Martin Stratmann, the members of our Council, Prof. Dr. Angela Friederici, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schön, and Maximilian Prugger, for their foresight and support. We are grateful for the coun- sel of our advisory board members. Additional thanks go to the MPG’s General Administration, the Archives, and the staff of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG). Many members of the MPG have generously given their advice and time, and though it is not possible to name everyone here, we wish to thank all of them as well. The contributions of our indefatigable staff members and student assistants are visible throughout the pages to follow. Without them, this program, and this report, would not exist. 9 1. Scope, Working Methods, Aims, and First Results The goal of the research program is a history of the Max Planck Society (MPG) from its founda- tion in 1948 to the end of the presidency of Hubert Markl in 2002 and the establishment of new institutes in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) up until 2005. We are aiming for a comprehensive history of the MPG as a research organization in multiple contexts. We ana- lyze this history on the background of the relevant scientific fields and in the context of the MPG’s relationships with economy, politics, society, and culture. In this way, the research pro- gram will contribute to a better understanding of the crucial role of the sciences for the devel - opment of modern societies and tread new paths in bringing together the history of science with contemporary history. 1.1 Publications and Digital Resources The most important outcome of the research program will be a comprehensive volume in three parts (approximately 1,000 pages including appendices), which will appear in both English and German. Its intended audience is a broader, interested public both within and outside of the MPG. In the first part of this comprehensive work, the structural history of the MPG is studied in its social, economic, and political contexts and in chronological order. Often, close interde - pendences are shown between science and politics. For example, the beginnings of Big Science in its characteristic interplay of both political and economic goals impacted the MPG and its or- ganizational structure with the foundation of the Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP) in 1960. Oth- er examples, albeit of a different kind, are the start of diplomatic relations of the Federal Repub - lic of Germany (FRG) with Israel,

  • Del Progetto Einstein@Home, Scoprono Una Nuova Pulsar Nei Dati Del Radio Telescopio Di Arecibo
    Gente comune, ‘’scienziati’’ del progetto Einstein@Home, scoprono una nuova pulsar nei dati del radio telescopio di Arecibo. I computer inattivi sono un po’ come il parco giochi degli astronomi: tre persone comuni, un tedesco ed una coppia in America, hanno scoperto una pulsar nascosta nei dati raccolti dall’osservatorio di Arecibo. Questa e’ la prima scoperta dello spazio profondo da parte di Einstein@Home, un progetto che utilizza il tempo di calcolo donato da 250 000 volontari in 192 differenti paesi. I volontari mettono a disposizione i propri computer quando non li stanno usando (Science Express, Aug. 12, 2010.). I volontari i cui computer hanno fatto la scoperta sono Chris ed Helen Colvin, di Ames, nell’Iowa, USA, e Daniel Gebhardt dell’universita’ di Mainz , dipartimento di informatica musicale, Germania. I loro computer, assieme agli altri 500 000 sparsi in tutto il mondo, analizzano dati per Einstein@Home (in media ogni volontario contribuisce con due computer). La nuova pulsar, chiamata PSR J2007+2722, e’ una stella di neutroni che ruota su se’ stessa 41 volte al secondo. La pulsar si trova nella Via Lattea nella costellazione Vulpecula a circa 17 000 anni luce dalla Terra. A differenza delle altre pulsar che ruotano velocemente e stabilmente come lei, J2007+2722 se ne sta tutta sola nello spazio senza nessun’altra stella compagna ad orbitarle attorno. Gli astronomi ritengono che J2007+2722 sia particolarmente interessante perche’ e’ probabilmente una pulsar riciclata che ha perso durante la propria evoluzione la stella compagna. Questa ipotesi, seppure la piu’ interessante, rimane tuttavia una ipotesi e altri scenari sono possibili, per esempio che J2007+2722 sia una pulsar giovane nata con un campo magnetico piu’ basso del normale.

  • Der Mythos Der Deutschen Atombombe
    Langsame oder schnelle Neutronen? Der Mythos der deutschen Atombombe Prof. Dr. Manfred Popp Karlsruher Institut für Technologie Ringvorlesung zum Gedächtnis an Lise Meitner Freie Universität Berlin 29. Oktober 2018 In diesem Beitrag geht es zwar um Arbeiten zur Kernphysik in Deutschland während des 2.Weltkrieges, an denen Lise Meitner wegen ihrer Emigration 1938 nicht teilnahm. Es geht aber um das Thema Kernspaltung, zu dessen Verständnis sie wesentliches beigetragen hat, um die Arbeit vieler, gut vertrauter, ehemaliger Kollegen und letztlich um das Schicksal der deutschen Physik unter den Nationalsozialisten, die ihre geistige Heimat gewesen war. Da sie nach dem Abwurf der Bombe auf Hiroshima auch als „Mutter der Atombombe“ diffamiert wurde, ist es ihr gewiss nicht gleichgültig gewesen, wie ihr langjähriger Partner und Freund Otto Hahn und seine Kollegen während des Krieges mit dem Problem der möglichen Atombombe umgegangen sind. 1. Stand der Geschichtsschreibung Die Geschichtsschreibung über das deutsche Uranprojekt 1939-1945 ist eine Domäne amerikanischer und britischer Historiker. Für die deutschen Geschichtsforscher hatte eines der wenigen im Ergebnis harmlosen Kapitel der Geschichte des 3. Reiches keine Priorität. Unter den alliierten Historikern hat sich Mark Walker seit seiner Dissertation1 durchgesetzt. Sein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Kaiser Wilhelm-Gesellschaft im 3. Reich beginnt mit den Worten: „The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics is best known as the place where Werner Heisenberg worked on nuclear weapons for Hitler.“2 Im Jahr 2016 habe ich zum ersten Mal belegt, dass diese Schlussfolgerung auf Fehlinterpretationen der Dokumente und auf dem Ignorieren physikalischer Fakten beruht.3 Seit Walker gilt: Nicht an fehlenden Kenntnissen sei die deutsche Atombombe gescheitert, sondern nur an den ökonomischen Engpässen der deutschen Kriegswirtschaft: „An eine Bombenentwicklung wäre [...] auch bei voller Unterstützung des Regimes nicht zu denken gewesen.
