Tobias Buck links machine learning with computer simulations to gain new insights into the origin of galaxies A new research group in the field of computational astrophysics is starting its work at Heidelberg University in August 2022.

Discourses on humans and machines, 1920s-2020s: humanistic challenges in management and culture in light of new technology From steam engines to the assembly line to robots and artificial intelligenc

German Research Foundation funds projects at the University of Bonn to the tune of millions of euros Artificial intelligence (AI) is getting a boost: the German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a total of eight new AI research units with a total of 31.4 million euros.

From next-gen intelligent systems and smart networks to robot-human interactions: at the second Hightech Summit under the auspices of the munich_i trade fair, scientists and industry experts offered a glimpse at how a future based on robotics and AI could look. Along with researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and such renowned institutions as Imperial College London and Delft University, participants included robotics trailblazers from Boston Dynamics and Berkshire Grey as well as representatives of SAP, Google and Roche.

Wilfred G. van der Wiel, Professor of Nanoelectronics and Director of the Centre for Brain-Inspired Nano Systems (BRAINS) at the University of Twente, is considered to be a pioneer in the field of Material Learning. He has a second professorship at the Institute of Physics at the University of Münster.

Two simple antennas can protect computer hardware against physical manipulation Radio waves could protect computers, as well as card readers, from attacks on their hardware. As a team from the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy in Bochum and the Ruhr University in Bochum has shown, the signal from one antenna in a device generates a characteristic electromagnetic pattern that is received by a second antenna.

The application period for the 2022/23 winter semester at the University of Stuttgart has started. Students can apply for more than 160 Bachelor's and Master's degree programs.

With grants of as much as five million euros, Humboldt Professorships are the best-endowed research prize in Germany.

An interdisciplinary and pan-university team under the aegis of the Department of Informatics at Universität Hamburg will develop intelligent assistance systems designed to facilitate remote diagnosis.

German Heart Centre Munich and TUM Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence collaborate The objective of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) lighthouse project "Digitaler Herz-OP" ("Digital Heart Surgery") is to enable more precise and lower-impact treatment of heart disease.

In order to support people in therapy or in everyday life in the future, machines will have to be capable of feeling and gently touching their human counterparts.

Researchers from the University of Stuttgart and other institutions are collaborating on an applied research project designed to make automated road traffic safer for vulnerable road users.

Research team led by the University of Göttingen designs customized training courses Cyber-attacks to hospitals pose an increasing threat to data security and healthcare in German hospitals.

Funded by an ERC Starting Grant, Prof. Michael Pradel from the Institute of Software Engineering at the University of Stuttgart is exploring how artificial intelligence can make software more reliable.

Dermatologists typically classify skin lesions based on multiple data sources. Algorithms that fuse the information together can support this classification. An international research team has now developed an algorithm that classifies skin lesions more accurately than previous algorithms by using an improved data fusion process.
