Rush rescue programme has achieved mixed results
Article Abstract:
There have been significant challenges associated with reorganizing scientific research in the former East Germany. The Wissenschaftsrat, the German science council, had only one year in which to visit all of the around 60 institutes of the Academy of Sciences and make recommendations about each one's future. Some research institutes were able to move in new directions, while others have found it harder to become established. Collaboration between the new institutes and universities has become a key feature in east Germany.

Pressing for better results
Article Abstract:
Z. Hiroi and his associates have created a provocative and novel candidate for high-temperature superconductivity by assembling a very simple, two-metal copper oxide using high pressure and temperature. It has a transition temperature of 70 or 100 kelvin depending on crystal structure, and challenges some assumptions about the rules for superconductivity in hole-doped copper-oxide compounds. The manufacture process is feasible for mass production.

Germany's rectors call for pay by results
Article Abstract:
Germany's university heads have proposed academic's salaries should be performance- based, claiming this would promote competition between academics and universities. However, the Germany Association of Universities believes this proposal goes against the professors' interests. The concept is supported by Edelgard Bulmahn, the new Social Democrat minister for education and research.
