University of Cologne Geoscientists Track Down The Asteroid That Sealed The Fate Of The Dinosaurs
Geoscientists from the University of Cologne have led an international study to determine the origin of the huge piece of rock that hit the Earth around 66 million years ago and permanently changed the climate. The scientists analyzed samples of the rock layer that marks the boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods. This period also saw the last major mass extinction event on Earth, in which around 70 percent of all animal species became extinct. The results of the study published in Science Indicate that the asteroid formed outside Jupiter’s orbit during the early development of our solar system.

University of Cologne researchers Improve Lung Cancer Diagnosis With AI
A team of researchers from the University of Cologne’s Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne, led by Dr Yuri Tolkach and Professor Dr Reinhard Büttner, has created a digital pathology platform based on artificial intelligence. The platform uses new algorithms developed by the team and enables fully automated analysis of tissue sections from lung cancer patients. The platform makes it possible to analyze digitized tissue samples on the computer for lung tumors more quickly and accurately than before. The study ‘Next generation lung cancer pathology: development and validation of diagnostic and prognostic algorithms’ has been published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine.
