It has long been known that the #CO2 emissions from #aircraft ✈ have an impact on the global #climate. However, the impact of air traffic goes beyond harmful CO2 emissions. In recent years, the focus has shifted to the #condensationtrails of commercial aircraft and the #iceclouds 🥶☁ – #ContrailCirrus – that they can produce under certain conditions. Scientists 👩🔬 are currently looking into how these long-lasting #contrails, which are particularly harmful to the climate, can be avoided or at least reduced. Through the European research infrastructure IAGOS_RI (In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System), Forschungszentrum Jülich is playing a major role in these studies, which have recently been published in a report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Andreas Petzold is head of the “Global Observation” group at the Jülich Institute of #Climate and #Energy Systems – #Troposphere (ICE-3), coordinator of #IAGOS Germany, and a member of the IAGOS executive board. In an interview, the atmospheric researcher 👨🔬 explains what can be done to address the climate-impacting contrails 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEME_yc4 IAGOS has been running for almost 30 years with the long-term support of the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), monitoring changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere. As part of its research work, conventional commercial aircraft are equipped with compact measuring instruments. During regular flights, they measure the concentration of important trace gases such as ozone, water vapour, greenhouse gases, and nitrogen oxides. Ten aircraft from eight airlines are currently fitted with IAGOS equipment. #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalResearch #SustainableAviation #AirTraffic #AtmosphericScience #FZJuelich /mb

The QSolid project was launched in January 2022 with the aim of building a high-quality #quantumcomputer "Made in Germany" based on superconducting #quantumchips. After 30 months, the large-scale project, led by Frank Wilhelm-Mauch, has reached the mid-term. In the first half of the project, the team of over 160 people from 25 partner institutions was able to develop #keytechnologies for an initial 10-#qubit prototype of the final demonstrator. This created the basis for the implementation, further development and scaling of the system in the remaining course of the project until December 2026. #QSolid focuses on #quantumbits, or #qubits for short, of very high quality with a low error rate. The susceptibility of qubits to errors is currently considered one of the greatest challenges in #quantum computer development. The project envisages a system that contains various quantum processors based on next-generation superconducting circuits with a reduced error rate. More: https://lnkd.in/g38UghSJ /mb

#QuantumSensor for the Atomic World: An international research team from Germany's Forschungszentrum Jülich and Korea's IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) developed a #quantumsensor 🧬 capable of detecting minute magnetic fields at the atomic length scale. This pioneering work realizes a long-held dream of scientists: an MRI-like tool for #quantummaterials 🧪. The diameter of an atom is a million times smaller than the thickest human hair 👁️. This makes it extremely challenging to visualize and precisely measure physical quantities like electric and magnetic fields emerging from atoms. To sense such weak fields from a single atom, the observing tool must be highly sensitive and as small as the atoms themselves 🔬. A quantum sensor is a technology that uses quantum mechanical phenomena such as the spin of an electron ⚛️ or the entanglement of quantum states 🔗 for precise measurements. Several types of quantum sensors have been developed over the past years. While many quantum sensors are able to sense electric and magnetic fields, it was believed that atomic-scale spatial resolution cannot be mastered simultaneously.

On July 23rd, Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft President Otmar Wiestler visited one of our major French cooperation partners Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA) in Paris-Saclay. He was joined by Bernd Rech, Katrin Amunts, Jansens Pieter J. and Johannes Orphal. The delegation visited CEA’s world-class brain neuroimaging center Neurospin, which already closely cooperates with Forschungszentrum Jülich within the EBRAINS project and the Joint Virtual Lab AIDAS. Furthermore, the leadership of Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft and Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives exchanged information on current developments and discussed research priorities within #energy #research. It was agreed to further explore #cooperation opportunities in fields such as #photovoltaic, #battery research and #AI. We look forward to strengthening our strategic #partnership with Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives and would like to thank our hosts for the hospitality!

#AI Language Models: Big Promises, but Logical Flaws? 🤖🤔 #ArtificialIntelligence has the potential to make our work and lives easier, but only if the output is accurate. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Researchers 👩🔬 from the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), the University of Bristol, and the LAION AI laboratory demonstrate that even the best large language models (#LLM) fail dramatically when faced with logical questions. The study, published on arXiv, shows that while the tested models can draw basic conclusions, they cannot reliably access this ability.
