Eva Weig and her team are building mechanical quantum sensors large enough to be seen under an electron microscope. One day, they could become fundamental components of a new quantum technology.
How can automated driving in severe weather be made more safe? Doctoral candidate Mohamed Mofeed Chaar is using machine learning to achieve the vision of accident-free road traffic.
How do artificial neural networks and the algorithms derived from them reach correct decisions? And how can this be understood? Gitta Kutyniok, a mathematician, explores the mystery of artificial intelligence.
OpenWebSearch.EU – a consortium of 14 research partners under the coordination of the University of Passau – is once again calling for third-party project proposals to help building an open and independent Web Index (OWI) based on European values. Researchers, innovators and data centres are invited to submit their ideas until 4th April. Successful candidates can request funding between 50,000 and 150,000 EUR.
Bayreuth scientists are investigating the structure and long-term behaviour of galaxies using mathematical models based on Einstein's theory of relativity. Their innovative approach uses a deep neural network to quickly predict the stability of galaxy models. This artificial intelligence-based method enables efficient verification or falsification of astrophysical hypotheses in seconds.
A research group at the University of Würzburg develops fundamental methods for analyzing music with the help of machine learning. The project is led by Professor Christof Weiß at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS).
Young people in Germany are less proficient in mathematics, reading and science as compared to 2018. This is revealed in the new PISA study. Around one third of the 15-year-olds tested achieved only a very low level of proficiency in at least one of the three subjects. The results confirmed a downward trend already in evidence in the preceding PISA studies. The mathematics and reading scores of German students are only at OECD average levels. They remain above that level only in natural sciences.
Sensors in electronic devices work with high-frequency signals. For maximum accuracy in the measurements, the parametric amplification effect is used. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are investigating how this effect can significantly expand the functionality of sensors. Possible applications include improved location positioning with microelectromechanical sensors like those used in smartphones.
Due to the special way they function, quantum computers will be capable of breaking current encryption methods. A competition initiated by the US federal agency NIST aims to change this. It is seeking algorithms that will successfully resist cyber attacks from quantum computers. However, it has become evident that it will be far from simple to develop suitable cryptographic schemes. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have submitted two proposals to the NIST competition. They feel optimistic about their results.
If you uncover a piece of soil in your garden with a spade, you will see a seemingly unspectacular crumbly structure when looking at the piece with your naked eye. "But the soil is subject to constant change – with immediate consequences for issues of food security or climate change", explains Prof. Dr. Nadja Ray. She holds the Chair of Geomatics and Geomathematics at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU).
