Wie genau unkonventionelle Supraleitung entsteht, zählt zu den zentralen Fragen der modernen Festkörperphysik. Eine neue Studie, die in der Fachzeitschrift Nature erschienen ist, liefert hierzu entscheidende Hinweise.
Ein internationales Forschungsteam konnte erstmals eine direkte mikroskopische Verbindung zwischen einem stark korrelierten Normalzustand und der Supraleitung in sogenannten Moiré-Materialien nachweisen. Langfristig können diese Erkenntnisse dazu beitragen, gezielt neue Quantenmaterialien und Supraleiter für künftige Quantentechnologien zu entwickeln.

GENEVA / BARCELONA — As artificial intelligence and digital transformation reshape the global public sector, academic institutions are facing a critical bottleneck: a lack of specialized curricula to train the next generation of public leaders.

“Our research shows that many public policy programs in the US and Europe are failing to prepare their students for a career in a modern, digital-era public sector,” says Pontus Westerberg, Executive Director of Teaching Public Service in the Digital Age.

Drawing on two decades of experience in building and supporting open digital infrastructure, we provide observations and recommendations to advance the EU’s strategic approach to open source, emphasizing its role in enhancing technological sovereignty, security, and competitiveness.

Description 

O Smart Sampa vem sendo apresentado como uma solução tecnológica para tornar São Paulo mais segura. Mas o que os dados realmente mostram?

A nota técnica “Smart Sampa: Transparência para quem? Transparência de quê?”, elaborada pelo LAPIN, pelo Instituto de Referência Negra Peregum e pela Rede Liberdade, analisa o programa a partir de informações oficiais e de dados obtidos via Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI).

Photocreo Bednarek/AdobestockHow many delivery vehicles does a company really need, and which vehicle configurations make sense throughout the year? This question poses major challenges for corporate logistics departments. Christian Truden (University of Klagenfurt) and Mike Hewitt (Loyola University Chicago) have now developed a new data-driven approach that shows how vehicle fleets can be planned efficiently even under strongly fluctuating demand and pronounced seasonality.

On Day 2 of the 2026 DMRC Summer School, delegates joined workshops on data donation, online safety, socio-technical grounded theory, and intersectional approaches to digital media research.
DMRC Chief Investigators also delivered a back-to-back-to-back seminar with the broad theme of re-thinking media for the platform age.
A major highlight of the day was the research translation roundtable discussion that explored opportunities at institutions, common pitfalls to avoid, and encouraged participants to share their own research translation experiences.

OpenForum Europe (OFE), the Open Source Initiative (OSI), and the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) today announced the official launch of Open Technology Research (OTR) — a strategic partnership designed to strengthen the global open technology research community and advance evidence-based policymaking around open technologies. Open technologies — including software, data, and standards — underpin today’s...

The DMRC’s 2026 Summer School kicked off today at QUT Kelvin Grove campus featuring inspiring and thought-provoking training by world leading researchers.
With over 75 delegates in attendance, today’s sessions explored a range of topics including analyzing large video collections using GenAI, discovering your teaching philosophy, instructions for systematic literature reviews, unpacking social biases in CSS, analyzing sound and music in content, and multimodal research using the image machine.
