UNESCO has declared 2025 the “International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.” Quantum physics has existed for around one hundred years, and since then, it has provided the theoretical foundation for numerous technologies. Quantum computing is regarded as one of the most important future fields of digital technology and is expected to bring abstract scientific concepts into application in a spectacular way. This requires a complex network of funding programs, international collaborations, and interdisciplinary lighthouse projects, as well as the creative curiosity of scientists.

What is the topic of the “Podcast about Data Sharing” – and what is our goal? We talk about this in the first episode. We shed light on some of what lies behind buzzwords like sharing economy, data silo, platform economy, or open science.

Tumorzellen tragen spezifische Genmutationen, die das Wachstum und die Ausbreitung von Krebs aktiv vorantreiben. Wenn Mutationen in bestimmten Genen vorliegen, sind Standardbehandlungen wie Chemotherapie oder Bestrahlung oft deutlich weniger wirksam und erfordern stattdessen gezieltere therapeutische Ansätze. Eines dieser Gene trägt den Namen KEAP1.
Es gibt viele Berichte von Piloten oder Pilotinnen, die während des Flugs unbekannte Flugobjekte oder merkwürdige Leucht- oder Wetterphänomene in der Atmosphäre gesichtet haben. Für derartige Erscheinungen verwendet die Wissenschaft den Oberbegriff Unidentifizierte Anomale Phänomene (UAP) – eine Definition, die weiter greift als der früher übliche Ausdruck UFO (Unbekanntes Flugobjekt).
