Startschuss für ein ehrgeiziges Projekt der Astroforschung: Bis 2031 entsteht aktuell ein neues Observatorium zur Detektion von Gammastrahlen – mit je einem Standort auf der Nord- und der Südhalbkugel der Erde. Maßgeblich daran beteiligt ist ein deutscher Verbund aus zwei Max-Planck-Instituten, einem Helmholtz-Zentrum sowie sieben deutschen Universitäten, darunter die Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU).

As governments around the world move to limit children’s exposure to technology and social media, 52 U.S. state attorneys general have reached a settlement with Meta, potentially reshaping how social media platforms protect teenagers from the harmful effects of digital technology.

While the DPDP Act relies on consent as the primary mechanism for user control, meaningful control is often elusive when it comes to health data. Health data is increasingly relational and often implicates multiple members of a family or group, making individual consent-based frameworks inadequate to fully protect privacy.

Fijalkowski hat den sogenannten Quantenanomalen Hall-Effekt auf neuem Präzisionsniveau untersucht und gezeigt, dass sich mithilfe dieses Quanteneffekts ein elektrischer Widerstand auch ohne äußeres Magnetfeld sehr exakt bestimmen lässt. Das könnte dazu beitragen, elektrische Einheiten wie Ohm, Volt und Ampere noch zuverlässiger und direkter über Naturkonstanten zu ermitteln. Der Helmholtz-Preis wurde den drei Wissenschaftlern am 25. August 2026 in Berlin verliehen.
Wenn Quantenpräzision zum Maßstab wird

To train AI models that perform well in real-world applications, you need high-quality data—and as much of it as possible. In principle, AI can be used in all industries, fields, and environments; people are experimenting with it, testing it, and sometimes discarding it. In some fields, such as medicine or disaster response, there are high hopes for AI, yet it is precisely in these areas where training data is often scarce—and, most importantly, where serious errors must be avoided.

For anyone who is sick and looking for an answer to the question of what their symptoms mean, a diagnosis can be helpful. That sounds easier than it is, because it’s not always possible to clearly link symptoms to a specific disease. Individual factors or pre-existing conditions can influence the course of a disease to such an extent that diagnosis becomes difficult. And sometimes the condition is a rare disease, one of the characteristics of which is that there is comparatively little empirical data available about it.
