Microscopes give us a window into that tiny cosmos, and talented photographers and videographers from around the world have used the tools for centuries to document it in stunning detail. But the equipment and techniques to take microscope photos get better with each passing year.

When people get into committed relationships, no one ever truly expects their partner to be dishonest with them. Whether you've been together for three months, three years, or 30 years, developing the feeling that someone is being dishonest can be incredibly uncomfortable. 

Patricia Vercillo — private investigator and VP of Operations at The Smith Investigation Agency and Smith Training Centre — told INSIDER, however, that you shouldn't let those things get you down.

Das Bundeswirtschaftsministerium will einem Medienbericht zufolge die Unternehmen jährlich um 20 Milliarden Euro entlasten. Das gehe aus einem „Steuerpolitischen 10-Punkte-Aktionsprogramm“ hervor, berichtete das „Handelsblatt“ am Donnerstag. Kernelement sei eine vollständige Abschaffung des Solidaritätszuschlags. Dadurch solle „auch für Unternehmen die internationale Attraktivität des Standortes Deutschland verbessert werden“. Darauf angesprochen sagte Minister Peter Altmaier auf einer Pressekonferenz...

Mit einem KI-Tool wollte Amazon eigentlich den Einstellungsprozess neuer Mitarbeiter vereinfachen. Berichten der Nachrichtenagentur „Reuters“ zufolge ging dieser Plan jedoch nach hinten los, als das Unternehmen entdeckte, dass das System Frauen diskriminierte.

Bei der Deutschen Bank ist viel in Bewegung. Im Sommer wurde bekanntgegeben, dass der bis dahin amtierende Bank-Chef John Cryan nach rund drei Jahren den Platz räumen muss. Am 8. April hat Christian Sewing die Geschäfte des Geldhauses übernommen. Mit ihm soll es für die Deutsche Bank jetzt schneller in eine zukunftsfähige Richtung gehen, hofft der Aufsichtsrat. 

Der US-Präsident Donald Trump hat am Dienstag Zweifel bezüglich der Glaubwürdigkeit eines Berichts der Vereinten Nationen (UN) geäußert. Die UN warnt, dass der Menschheit nur noch zwölf Jahre bleiben, um den Klimawandel einzudämmen. Trump sagte, der Bericht sei genauso glaubwürdig wie Berichte darüber, dass es um das Klima „fabelhaft“ stünde.

Milliarden von Galaxien driften durch das Universum — und jede von ihnen enthält genauso viele Milliarden Sterne. Auch wenn die meisten dieser Planeten wahrscheinlich nicht bewohnbar sind, könnten zahllose wasserreiche Monde diese leblosen Welten umkreisen. 

Dass sich im Laufe der Zeit immer wieder Eisschollen von den Gletschern der Antarktis lösen, ist an sich nichts Ungewöhnliches — erst vor etwa einem Jahr löste sich ein Eisberg in Größe von etwa 267 Quadratkilometern von einem Gletscher. Dabei handelt es sich jedoch gerade einmal um das fünftgrößte Stück, das sich in diesem Jahrhundert bereits gelöst hat. Doch das ist nicht alles — wie Wissenschaftler befürchten, könnte das Ereignis bald durch ein viel Größeres übertroffen werden.

Die Deutsche Schutzvereinigung für Wertpapierbesitz (DSW) veröffentlicht jedes Jahr die Tabelle der zehn wichtigsten Aufsichtsräte. Nun ist auch die Aufsichtsratsstudie für 2018 erschienen und es hat sich einiges getan. Ein Aufsichtsrat, der jahrelang unter den ersten drei Plätzen zu finden war, und damit als der Mächtigste galt, ist dieses Jahr nicht mehr auf der Liste zu finden: Ulrich Lehner, ehemaliger Aufsichtsrats-Chef bei Thyssenkrupp, trat im Juli diesen Jahres mit dem damaligen Chef Heinrich Hiesinger nach einem Streit zurück.
