3D technologies for human-machine interaction

Making human-machine interaction more efficient and safer with the help of innovative 3D technologies – that was the goal of the “3Dsensation” research alliance. After eight years, the joint project…

More is not always better

A research team from the University of Jena and the Helmholtz Institute Jena sheds light on the best way to generate high-energy proton radiation using laser-plasma interaction. Proton therapy is…

Ocean eddies could explain Antarctic sea-ice paradox

AWI study provides the basis for reliable projections of the impacts of climate change in the Antarctic. Despite global warming and the sea-ice loss in the Arctic, the Antarctic sea-ice…

Looking beneath the surface of the changing oceans

IOW supports successful deployment of new Argo Float sensors. As part of the DArgo2025 project, Germany’s Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) coordinated the successful validation and deployment of new…

Cooling matter from a distance

Researchers from the University of Basel have succeeded in forming a control loop consisting of two quantum systems separated by a distance of one meter. Within this loop, one quantum…
