Outrage about art attacks - But what about global warming?

 Over the last months, there have been news reports on young climate activists attacking well known art works like the Mona-Lisa or Van Gogh’s Sunflowers all over Europe. (Aublanc, 2022; Dellatto, 2022; Skinner, 2022; York, 2022) At first glance, this might seem bizarre: Why attack art?

Just out: ‘European Dreams of the Cloud’ by Andreas Baur

‘Recently, several private and political cloud initiatives emerged in Europe. This paper demonstrates how the sociotechnical imaginaries of three European cloud projects reveal a performative coupling of innovation and political ideas of control, territoriality and sovereignty. I ascertain three elements of the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries (innovation, boundary making and material properties) guiding the empirical analysis.

Meilenstein für lichtgesteuerte Elektronik

Mit dem ersten Nachweis von Quasiteilchen – sogenannten Exzitonen – in einem topologischen Isolator ist einem internationalen Wissenschaftsteam rund um das Würzburg-Dresdner Exzellenzcluster ct.qmat ein Durchbruch in der Quantenforschung gelungen. Diese Entdeckung schafft die Grundlage für eine neue Generation von lichtgesteuerten Computerchips und Quantentechnologien. Möglich wurde dies durch geschicktes Materialdesign aus Würzburg – dem Geburtsort topologischer Isolatoren. Die Forschungsergebnisse wurden in der Zeitschrift Nature Communications veröffentlicht.
