Popular Science: Beware False Claims (28.07.2009, by Sharon Begley)

Popular Fields Less Accurate (25.07.2009, by Robin Hanson)

In Science, Popularity Means Inaccuracy (27.07.2009)

Virtuelles Stoffwechselnetz (28.09.2005, von Christoph Meier)
Das Stoffwechselnetz einer Zelle zeichnet sich durch einige wenige stark verbundene Knoten aus. ETH-Forscher zeigen an einem Computermodell, wie eine solche Struktur entstehen kann.
Der Mehrzelligkeit auf der Spur (05.04.2001, von Christoph Meier)
Anhand von Computermodellen ist es ETH-Forschern gelungen, Bedingungen zu finden, welche die Entstehung von Nahrungs-abhängigen Mehrzellern begünstigt haben könnten. Die Energiegewinnung spielt dabei eine zentrale Rolle.
