Hello and welcome to the NanoLSI podcast. Thank you for joining us today. In this episode we feature the latest research by Tareg Omer Mohammed, You-Rong Lin, and Clemens M. Franz at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), at Kanazawa University.The research described in this podcast was published in the Journal of Cell Science in January 2024.Kanazawa University NanoLSI websitehttps://nanolsi.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/en/A novel role for S100A11 in focal adhesion regulationResearchers at Kanazawa University report in the Journal of Cell Science on a novel role of the small Ca2+ion-binding protein S100A11 [S one hundred A eleven] in focal adhesion disassembly.S100A11 is a small Ca2+ion-activatable protein with an established role in different cellular processes involving actin cytoskeleton remodeling, such as cell migration, membrane protrusion formation, and plasma membrane repair. It also displays F-actin binding activity and localizes to actin stress fibers, but its precise role in regulating these structures remained unclear.In their study, Tareg Omer Mohammed, You-Rong Lin, and Clemens M. Franz together with colleagues from the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, in Japan, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, in Germany, report a novel localization of S100A11 to disassembling focal adhesions at the end of contractile stress fibers in HeLa and U2OS cells. Specifically, S100A11 transiently appears at the onset of focal adhesion disassembly, reliably marking the targeted adhesion sites for subsequent disassembly. Interestingly, S100A11 leaves focal adhesion sites before the completion of disassembly, indicating that S100A11 plays a specific role in the initiation of adhesion site disassembly, rather than the disassembly process itself.So what are focal adhesions anyway and what can we learn from them?Focal adhesions are integrin-containing cell/matrix adhesion sites enabling cells to adhere to the cellular environment and to apply cellular contraction forces during extracellular matrix remodeling. Directed cell migration requires the coordinated assembly of new adhesion sites at the front, and disassembly at the rear of the cell, and better understanding mechanisms regulating focal adhesion turnover is, therefore, an important goal in cell migration and invasion research. The newly discovered role of S100A11 in focal adhesion disassembly extends insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying focal adhesion site disassembly.The authors furthermore delineate a force-dependent recruitment mechanism for S100A11 to adhesion sites involving non-muscle myosin II-driven stress fiber contraction, activation of mechanosensitive, Ca2+ ion-permeable Piezo1 channels, and intracellular Ca2+ ion influx at mechanically stressed focal adhesions. In turn, locally elevated Ca2+ ion levels activates and recruits S100A11 to the adhesion sites targeted for disassembly. So how did they work this out?The force-dependent recruitment of S100A11 to stressed focal adhesions was confirmed using a micropipette pulling assay able to apply pulling forces onto individual focal adhesion sites. Even when myosin II-dependent intracellular contractility was inhibited, external pulling forces still recruited S100A11 to stretched focal adhesion sites, corroborating the mechanosensitive recruitment mechanism of S100A11. However, extracellular Ca2+ ion and Piezo1 function was still indispensable, indicating that myosin II-dependent contraction forces act upstream of Piezo1-mediated Ca2+ ion influx, in turn leading to S100A11 activation and focal adhesion recruitment.Lastly, the authors show impaired focal adhesion translocation and disassembly ratNanoLSI Podcast website

This week we look at Rewilding from the social perspective. Most of the challenges currently facing nature can be linked to human activity and more specific human prioritizations of one type of land use over another. So when we come  to look at solutions to biodiversity loss (Rewilding being one of the most well known) its essential that we understand the role of people in making these solutions work.. It's hoped that  Nature Recovery projects supported by local communities are likely to be more durable, inclusive and ultimately more sustainable. We explore this fascinating topic with three experts: Dr. Calum Brown is a land system scientist interested in how land management affects ecosystems and societies. He uses a range of methods to investigate how people's use of land might change in the future, and the potential for nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss. Calum has worked in research and conservation in Scotland, the US, Slovakia and Germany, most recently as a Senior Researcher in Land Use Change & Climate at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.  He was raised and educated in the Highlands and holds a Masters from the University of the Highlands and Islands and a PhD (funded by a Microsoft Research Scholarship) from the University of St Andrews. Josh Davis is  a researcher at  the Countryside and Community Research Institute. His research focuses on shifts in skills and behaviour in the transition from agriculture to nature-based recovery across England. H examines the underlying motivations, incentives, and barriers to local practitioners (farmers, land managers and agricultural advisers) involved in promoting landscape-scale, nature-based recovery.Dr. Caitlin Hafferty is a researcher at the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery at the University of Oxford. Caitlin is an expert in participatory, democratic and inclusive decision-making, particularly in planning and environmental decision-making. She campions the contributions of the social sciences to understanding sustainability transformations, and currently work on the social dimensions of nature recovery and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) initiatives in the UK.Links for further readingShort brief on Recipes for Engagementhttps://www.naturerecovery.ox.ac.uk/events/event/unlocking-the-power-of-engagement-for-nature-recovery-and-nature-based-solutions-join-our-webinar/https://www.highlandsrewilding.co.uk/communityhttps://www.highlandsrewilding.co.uk/s/Highlands-Rewilding-Engagement-Roadmap.pdfhttps://www.nattergal.co.uk/boothby-wildlandThe Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery is interested in promoting a wide variety of views and opinions on nature recovery from researchers and practitioners.

In dieser Folge geht es darum, wie Sebastian und Gudrun Mathematik an Hochschulen unterrichten und welche Rollen das Medium Podcast und konkret unser Podcast Modellansatz dabei spielen. Die Fragen stellte unsere Hörerin Franziska Blendin, die in der Folge 233 im Jahr 2020 über Ihr Fernstudium Bachelor Maschinenbau berichtet hatte. Sie hatte uns vorab gefragt: "Was versprecht ihr euch von dem Podcast - was ist euer Fazit nach den Jahren den ihr ihn schon macht und wie gestaltet ihr warum Lehre? Was macht euch Spaß, was sind Herausforderungen, was frustriert euch? Warum und wie gestaltet ihr Lehre für Studierende außerhalb der Mathematik, also beispielsweise Maschinenbau?" Es ist ein bisschen lustig, dass die erste Folge Modellansatz, in der Sebastian und Gudrun sich spontan ein Thema zum reden suchten ausgerechnet ein Gespräch über eine neu konzipierte Vorlesung war und der Podcast diese Vorlesung bis heute in unterschiedlichen Rollen begleitet, obwohl das nicht zum ursprünglichen Plan gehörte, wie wir uns einen Podcast über Mathematik vorgestellt hatten. Einerseits haben viele kein Verständnis dafür, was alles mit Mathe gemacht werden kann, andererseits erleben wir intern andauernd so viele spannenden Vorträge und Personen. Eigentlich bringen wir die beiden Sachen in unserem Podcast nur zusammen. Das Medium Podcast ist dabei durch das Gespräch sehr niederschwellig: Es ist so sehr leicht mit den Gesprächen in die Themen einzusteigen und auch auf viel weiteren Ebenen sich darüber zu unterhalten. Wir sind überzeugt, dass wir mit Text oder Video nie so viele und so umfangreiche Austauschsformen einfangen können, mal ganz abgesehen davon, dass die Formate dann an sich für uns zu einer viel größeren Herausforderung in Form und Darstellung geworden wären. Wir hoffen, dass sich irgendwann auch mal eine Person dazu bekennt, wegen unseres Podcasts ein Mathe- oder Informatikstudium zu erwägen, aber bisher ist das tolle Feedback an sich ja schon eine ganz ausgezeichnete Bestätigung, dass diese Gespräche und Themen nicht nur uns interessieren. Viele der Gespräche haben sich auch schon vielfach für uns gelohnt: Sebastian hat aus vielen Gesprächen Inspirationen für Vorlesungen oder andere Umsetzungen gewonnen. Ein Fazit ist auf jeden Fall, dass das Ganze noch lange nicht auserzählt ist, aber wir auch nicht außerhalb unserer Umgebung leben. In der Pandemie sind einerseits Gespräche am Tisch gegenüber, wie wir sie gerne führen, schwierig geworden, und gleichzeitig ist die Lehre so viel aufwendiger geworden, dass kaum Zeit verblieb. Aufnahmen, waren zuletzt hauptsächlich "interne" Podcasts für Vorlesungen, damit die Studierenden daheim und unterwegs sich mit den Inhalten auseinandersetzen können. Gudrun hat damit auch Themen vorbereitet, die sie anschließend in die Zeitschrift Mitteilungen der Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung als Artikel geschrieben hat. Das betrifft insbesondere die Folgen zu Allyship und zum Mentoring in der Mathematik. In der Vermittlung von Mathematik im Studium gibt es kaum Themen, die nicht irgendwo spannend und interessant sind. Um die Themen zu verstehen oder wie dort die Lösungen oder Verfahren gefunden wurden, muss die Theorie behandelt und in weiten Teilen verstanden werden. Da aber "Rosinenpickerei" nichts bringt (also nur die nötigsten Teile von Theorie zu erzählen), geht es darum, ein sinnvolles Mittelmaß zu finden. Also auf der einen Seite ein gutes Fundament aufzubauen zu einem Thema, aber gleichzeitig noch Zeit für Einblicke in spannende und interessante Teile zu haben. Es ist in der Vorbereitung auf der einen Seite total schön, wenn dann eine Anwendung perfekt in die Theorie passt, beispielsweise entwirft Sebastian gerade ein Skript zu formalen Sprachen und Grammatiken, und dann kann man das Komprimierverfahren LZW als eine dynamische Grammatik sehen. Oder es geht um theoretische und "langweilige" Zustandsmaschinen und dann gibt es das Beispiel, dass die Raspberry Pi Foundation gerade dazu einen eigenen Chip (RP2040) mit solchen Komponenten veröffentlicht, oder mit dem Newton-Verfahren wurde die schnelle Quadratwurzel für das Computerspiel Quake erst möglich. Ob das dann auch so toll in der Vorlesung herüberkommt, ist nochmal ein eigenes Thema, aber wenn es klappt, so ist das natürlich großartig. Umgekehrt frustriert es dann schon, wenn die Grundlagen nicht bei möglichst vielen ankommen- nicht jede Person muss sich ja bis ins letzte für ein Thema begeistern, aber am Ende sollte der Großteil die wichtigen Hauptsachen mitnehmen. Leider gibt es immer ein paar Leute, wo das dann trotz vieler Angebote leider nicht so gut klappt, und das frustriert natürlich. Dann muss geschaut werden, woran es liegen könnte. Aktuell hilft das Nörgeln und Nerven, wenn nicht regelmäßig die angebotenen Übungsaufgaben abgegeben werden, wohl mit am Besten. Warum werden mathematische Themen im Ingenieurstudium relevant: Das hängt ganz davon ab, welche Kurse wir haben, und was gebraucht wird... Sebastian unterrichtet jetzt gerade Informatik-Studierende und in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften, früher außer MACH/CIW/BIW/MAGE... auch mal Mathe-Lehrende. Das "Wie" ist dann jeweils auf die Gruppe zugeschnitten: Zunächst gibt es ja unterschiedliche Voraussetzungen: Curriculum, Haupt- & Nebenfächer, etc.. Dann gibt es eine Liste von Fertigkeiten, die vermittelt werden sollen und können, und dann besonders in den Vorlesungen außerhalb des Mathematik-Studiums die lästige Beschränkung des Umfangs der Veranstaltung, und wieviel Eigenarbeit erwartet werden kann. Grundsätzlich möchten wir auch bei den Nicht-Hauptfächlern so viel davon erzählen, was dahinter steht- statt "ist halt so"- und was heute damit gemacht werden kann. Diese Motivation macht vielen das Lernen leichter. Es muss aber auch immer viel selbst gemacht werden, dh. viele Aufgaben und prototypische Problemlösungen, denn Mathe lernt sich nicht durchs zuhören alleine. (leider... ;) Damit geht das Puzzle-Spiel los: Welche Grundlagen müssen aufgebaut werden, und was kann wie in der gegebenen Zeit sinnvoll behandelt werden... Und natürlich immer mit dem Blick darauf, ob es Anküpfungspunkte in die Studienrichtungen der Studierenden gibt. Literatur und weiterführende Informationen F.

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Sophia Chen interviews Xuchen Wang of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany about his work on photonic time crystals. While conventional crystals are composed of repeating unit cells in space, such as eight carbon atoms arranged in a cube to form a diamond, a photonic time crystal has a structure that repeats in time. Theoretical predictions of photonic time crystals referred to designs consisting of three-dimensional metamaterials whose properties are difficult to manipulate in the laboratory. Wang and his collaborators have adapted the three-dimensional time crystal design to a two-dimensional metasurface. They arranged copper structures on the surface, using conventional printed circuit board technology. The structures look like a forest of mushrooms where the researchers placed a variable capacitor, known as a varactor, between each mushroom. To create the device, the researchers apply changing external voltages to the varactor, modulating the material's electromagnetic properties in time. Wang then confirmed experimentally that this device amplified microwave signals that he sent across its surface. This work was published in a recent issue of Science Advances.

The nanotwinned copper foil has an essentially pure, single orientation and dense twin boundaries. Bresser's research group found that lithium deposits more densely and much more homogenously on this nanotwinned copper foil than on commercial foils. This work was published in a recent issue of ACS Applied Energy Materials.

Differential Privacy has become a widely used tool to protect privacy in data science applications.  In this talk, I will present two use cases for differential privacy: a) in collection of key-value statistics and b) as a protection against membership inference attacks.  Key-value statistics are commonly used to gather information about the use of software products.  Yet, the collector may be untrusted, and the data of each user should be protected.  There exist a number of differentially private collection methods that perturb the data at the client's site.  However, these are very inaccurate.  In theory it would also be possible to collect these statistics using secure computations.  However, that is too inefficient to even test.  We show that a new combination of differentially privacy and secure computation achieves both high accuracy and high efficiency.  In the second application, we investigate the theoretical protection of differential privacy against membership inference attacks on neural network models.  There exist proofs of theoretical upper bounds that scale with the privacy parameter.  We show theoretically and empirically that those bounds do not hold against existing membership inference attacks in a natural deployment.  We show that when using existing data sets from different sources on the Internet (instead of the same data set as in lab experiments) and unmodified existing, even no longer state-of-the-art membership inference attacks, the bound does not hold.  We provide a theoretical explanation using a model that removes an unrealistic assumption about the training that, namely that it is iid.

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Laura Leay interviews Peter Gumbsch, who is affiliated with both the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials in Germany about gear-based mechanical metamaterials. The researchers offer a paradigm shift in design where—instead of choosing a material for a given application and compromising on materials properties—engineers can consider an adaptable metamaterial to build shape-morphing structures that can withstand any environment. Each gear is analogous to an atom except that whereas the properties of the bonds between atoms cannot be changed, the properties of the coupling between the gears can. This work was published in a recent issue of Nature Materials (doi:10.1038/s41563-022-01269-3).

Si chiama Reveal-Storage ed è un progetto internazionale che metterà alla prova uno scenario al quale abbiamo dedicato parecchia attenzione, qui a Smart City, nell'ultimo anno: l'utilizzo dell'alluminio metallico, prodotto con energia rinnovabile, come vettore energetico. Al pari di una bombola di idrogeno, una cisterna di carburante o una catasta legna, l'alluminio infatti può essere bruciato producendo ingenti quantità di energia, e Reveal ne sperimenterà l'uso come combustibile nel riscaldamento domestico.Si tratta di una prospettiva tra le più promettenti, emerse negli ultimi anni, per dare risposta all'enorme bisogno di stoccaggio energetico richiesto da un modello di sviluppo basato sulle energie rinnovabili. Ma è una soluzione ancora oggi poco conosciuta, perfino dal mondo accademico, sebbene l'avviamento del programma Reveal dimostri come l'unione europea ne abbia compreso il potenziale.

This week, Rory is joined by Dr. Nick Garabedian, Group Leader of 'Linked Tribological Data', at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany! To start off this fascinating and insightful conversation, Nick gives us a high level overview of the field of Tribology, and tells us how Karlsruhe Institute of Technology complements and facilitates his work, enabling him and many other researchers to carry out dedicated work in Applied Materials Science. Nick shares how he first got involved with FAIR data, and how his work developed as he began incorporating ontologies in order to bridge the gap between vocabularies, electronic lab notebooks and machine learning models. Rory and Nick discuss how this initial project then developed into a formal project funded by the Helmholz MetaData Collaboration. Nick also talks about some of the challenges the team faces when working with ontologies. Both Nick and Rory will be at the Helmholz Metadata Collaboration Conference 2022! Sign up for a chance to meet them and learn more about Nick's work. Nick talks about the solution they have developed and began testing, as well as its capabilities and potential applications. With a focus on solutions that are easy for wet-lab researchers to utilize with minimum barriers, Nick goes on to share how his work aims to bridge the divide between computationalists and experimentalists. Join us for the full conversation!

Chatbots sind nicht mehr wegzudenken aus unserem Serviceleben, sei es auf einer Webseite in Textform oder als Voicebot in einer Hotline. Das erkennt man auch an der Vielzahl von Studien zu Chatbots. Laut einer Studie des Karlsruhe Institute of Technology können 63,5 % aller Bots einem Geschlecht zugeordnet werden. 77 % davon sind weiblich. In einer Studie von Userlike waren nur 9 % der Teilnehmer der Meinung, dass ein Unternehmen keinen Chatbot nutzen sollte. Über 80 % der Teilnehmenden hatten in der Vergangenheit bereits Kontakt mit einem Chatbot. 60 % der Befragten gaben an, dass sie lieber in einer Warteschlange warten, um einen menschlichen Servicemitarbeiter zu erreichen. Wie menschlich sollte ein Chatbot sein? Woran liegt es, wenn die Akzeptanz fehlt?  Und warum ist es nicht egal, in welchem Land die Plattform betrieben wird? Über solche Fragen diskutieren Nina und Frank diesmal im KI Heute Podcast und stellen Beispiele wie Woebot oder Ask Benji vor.  Als Gäste erwarten sie Antonius Ostermann, CTO & Head of Conversational Services, und Markus Zeggel, Software-Engineer von Web Computing GmbH.Link zum Fundstück der Wochedialog bits - intuitive Conversational-AI-Plattform zum Erstellen von ChatbotsOPITZ CONSULTING ■■■ Digitale Service Manufaktur

South African energy and chemicals group Sasol has teamed up with Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) to lead a consortium of German and South African partners that will research and optimise the catalysts required to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on a commercial scale through Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz presided over the launch of the research project dubbed ‘CARE-O-SENE', or Catalyst Research for Sustainable Kerosene, at a function hosted at Sasol's Sandton head office this week. The project will be funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and Sasol and the other consortium partners are the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the University of Cape Town's department of chemical engineering and Ineratec. Separately, Sasol is partnering with Linde, Enertrag and Navitas in a bid to produce SAF, using green hydrogen and sustainable carbon dioxide sources, under Germany's H2Global platform. Sasol has indicated that it is initially aiming to produce 15 000 t/y of SAF at its Secunda operation, in Mpumalanga, before scaling up yearly production to 2.5-million tons. CARE-O-SENE will run for three years with the goal of developing the catalysts – used to speed up chemical reactions, increase yield and improve fuel quality – required for large-scale commercialisation of ‘green kerosene' production by 2025. Sasol reports that the new FT catalysts are expected to increase the fuel yield of the process to over 80%. Speaking at the CARE-O-SENE launch, Sasol CEO Fleetwood Grobler said the group's expertise in FT technology and catalysts made it an ideal partner to help Germany and the world decarbonise the aviation sector and make it sustainable over the long term. HZB Scientific MD Professor Dr Bernd Rech added that the research would enable accelerated innovation in a crucial field of green energy. “This can only be achieved in a global partnership by deeply integrating fundamental research and technology development on an industry-relevant scale,” Rech said.

On this episode, Sabine VdL interviews Dr Dietmar Kottmann, a Partner of Oliver Wyman in Munich and a member of the insurance, and the digital practices. Dietmar has more than 20 years of management and strategic consulting experience. During this time, he has led numerous projects on strategy, IT, operational strategy, organisation, and digitisation. He leads insurance in the DACH region and is the lead author of the “InsurTech radar” series. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the most negative examples I had in my consulting career was in the .com days. We did a large ecommerce strategy project for one of the large travel players and the core strategy we recommended for them, we know today with hindsight that it was the right strategy because it was later executed by a startup, but the client was unable to execute it. Even though, intellectually it was spot on, we were unable to set up the client for success. That keeps me awake at night. Consulting is not R&D, or what you do at university, it’s generating real impact for your clients. Oliver Wyman – more or less – has three kinds of clients 1) financial sponsors who want to invest in (digital) insurance businesses, 2) customers who want to build something new in the InsurTech space, 3) helping our incumbent clients transform and become more successful in the digital world. This last one is our bread and butter. There are always three kinds of innovation: 1) efficiency innovations – reducing waste, 20 sustaining innovations – making the product better every year with features, coverages, engagement models, 3) market creating innovations – where you think about how the market is changing and where you position yourself for future success. When you think about a problem you have to start with someone whose life and existence you might want to improve – a company or individual. What progress are they seeking – functional, emotional, social? All three must be considered to help the customer. That is the most fun part of the business, really thinking about what we’re doing in a fundamental way and going much, much deeper and being much more interesting and playing to my curiosity than “how can I advance the next generation of my product”. BEST MOMENTS ‘I started my career on the nerd side of the universe, playing with computers and programming on a Sinclair Zx81. Since then I looked for a career that allowed me to combine my passion with technology and computer science with effecting something in the real world: Strategy Consulting.’ ‘There’s one big theme in my life: Curiosity, like a child. That’s the big driver that gives me energy and drives me forward so I don’t repeat things and am open to new things and new developments.’ ‘Thinking about impact from day one, and embedding that impact into how you run your consulting project, I think that makes a difference.’ ‘When you look at what makes InsurTech business successful, it’s one of two kinds of business: 1) those who are looking are actually working on an inefficiency in a market and launch something that improves that by a large factor, 2) platform business models, a technology driven business model that rents market access to customers like Amazon.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Prior to joining Oliver Wyman, Dietmar worked at the Boston Consulting Group in Munich and New York, where he led various major strategy, IT and operations projects across an array of industries. Before working in management consulting, Dietmar held a number of technology roles in IT project management, system integration, sales, and education. Dietmar graduated from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) with a diploma and a PhD in computer science with honours and from the University of Hagen with a diploma in business administration.

Timestamps: 1:33 - From India to Germany and Switzerland 10:57 - Why build a startup 22:00 - Solving sleep disorders 36:36 - Marketing to B2B and B2C simultaneously 40:33 - Vertical and horizontal expansion About Soumya Dash: Soumya Dash is the co-founder and CEO of Sleepiz, a startup which produces remote sleep monitoring devices. Originally from India, he grew up constantly relocating to different regions of this country due to his father's job, and this allowed him to develop an incredible degree of adaptability. This adaptability was then put to good use when he chose to do his masters at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology as a fully funded scholar. During his masters he visited Switzerland as an Erasmus student. Soumya's time there made such an impression on him that when the time came to choose were he would do his PhD, he turned down an offer from Stanford to study at ETH. It was during the last years of his PhD that he started Sleepiz, which leverages the power of sleep insights with a device that is simply placed next to the bed. The device operates in a non-contact fashion and measures movements originating from heart contractions and breathing patterns, as well as body motions with medical grade accuracy. This is quite simply the first time we're able to measure cardiopulmonar activity without actually touching the body. Sleepiz is catered towards respiratory illnesses, namely sleep apnea. Most people who suffer from sleep apnea do not get diagnosed, which is concerning considering that this condition makes it likely that at some point in their lives these people will suffer a fatal stroke. However, even if people do make an effort to be diagnosed, it is a cumbersome process involving a night at a sleep clinic with a bunch of wires strapped onto you. Sleepiz has come to change all of that. Memorable Quotes: "I lived in many different places throughout my whole life. This has made me capable of seamlessly fitting into any environment." "I don't think I'm the type of person that takes no for an answer, at face value." "We're risk takers but not stupid ones. We needed to ask ourselves: is the impact worth all the pain?"

Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main course of air pollution in cities. The transport sector has not seen the same gradual decline in emissions, as other sectors. Emissions just started decreasing in 2007 and still remain higher than in 1990. Hence, let's have a look at this sector to actually understand it a bit better and its current state. For this episode, we're joined by the Coordinator of Business Unit Energy Economy at Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Priv.-Doz. Dr. Patrick Plötz. He has studied Physics in Greifswald, St. Petersburg and Göttingen and did his thesis in Theoretical Physics on correlated electrons in one-dimensional systems.

Gudrun spricht in dieser Folge mit Pauline Brumm von der TU Darmstadt über Benetzung im Tiefdruck. Sie ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Druckmaschinen und Druckverfahren und promoviert im SFB 1194 zur Mechanischen Zwangsbenetzung von Oberflächen durch gravierte Tiefdruckzylinder im Teilprojekt C01. Es handelt sich um eine Weiterführung des Gesprächs mit Dr. Mathis Fricke im Modellansatz-Podcast Folge 242 über Dynamische Benetzung. Herr Fricke hatte über die Arbeit im SFB 1194 aus Sicht der Mathematik berichtet, Frau Brumm liefert in dieser Folge nun einen Beitrag aus Sicht der Anwendung. Sie hat Maschinenbau im Bachelor und Master an der TU Darmstadt studiert und sich auf Drucktechnik spezialisiert. Drucken wird seit hunderten von Jahren praktiziert und angewendet, jedoch gibt es bisher noch keine umfassende Modellbildung für viele Druckprozesse. Das bedeutet, dass ein Großteil des Wissens empirisch geprägt ist. Firmen stützen sich auf die Erfahrung von gelernten Drucktechnikern, jedoch ist diese Erfahrung nur selten öffentlich zugänglich und es gibt wenige Forschungsinstitute weltweit zum Thema Drucktechnik. Um innovative Anwendungen zu entwickeln, zum Beispiel aus dem Bereich der gedruckten Elektronik, bedarf es jedoch einer detaillierten Modellvorstellung des Druckprozesses, um klassische Druckverfahren aus dem grafischen Druck (Zeitungsdruck, Verpackungsdruck etc.) für den sogenannten „funktionalen Druck“ nutzbar zu machen. Die Schwierigkeit liegt darin, dass an den funktionalen Druck ganz andere Anforderungen gestellt werden, zum Beispiel müssen die gedruckten, häufig ultradünnen Schichten geschlossen, fehlerfrei und von konstanter Schichtdicke sein. Ein häufiger Druckfehler ist das sogenannte „Viscous Fingering“, eine hochdynamische Grenzflächeninstabilität bei der Fluidübertragung, die sich in Form von faszinierenden, verästelten, fingerartigen Strukturen in der gedruckten Schicht bemerkbar macht. Sie sehen so ähnlich aus wie die Arme eines Flussdeltas aus Vogelperspektive oder die Wurzeln von Bäumen. In ihrer Forschung untersucht Frau Brumm diese verästelten Strukturen im Tiefdruck, um sie besser zu verstehen und um den Druckfehler in Zukunft zu verhindern oder für spezielle Anwendungen nutzbar zu machen. Beim Tiefdruck wird die Farbe über gravierte Näpfchen in einem Druckzylinder übertragen. Die Näpfchen liegen vertieft und sind nur wenige zehn Mikrometer groß. Beim Kontakt mit dem zu bedruckenden Substrat (Papier, Folie, Glas…) wird die Druckfarbe unter hohem Druck und hoher Geschwindigkeit aus den Näpfchen herausgesaugt. Es kommt zur Zwangsbenetzung des Substrats. Mit Stokes-Gleichungen kann man Parametermodelle herleiten, welche das Skalierungsverhalten der verästelten, gedruckten Strukturen beschreiben. Zum Beispiel skaliert der dominante Abstand der gedruckten Strukturen mit der Druckgeschwindigkeit hoch minus ein Halb laut Sauer et al. (2015), welches dem 60 Jahre alten Skalengesetz von Saffman und Taylor (1958) entspricht. Mit Experimenten können diese Modelle bestätigt oder widerlegt werden. Die Planung von Experimenten geschieht zielgerichtet. Im Vorfeld muss überlegt werden, welche Parameter im Experiment variiert werden sollen und wie viele Messpunkte benötigt werden, um statistisch abgesicherte Aussagen treffen zu können. Meistens ist die Herausforderung, die Vielzahl der Parameterkombinationen auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren und dennoch die gewünschten Aussagen treffen zu können. Die gedruckten Proben werden hochauflösend mit einem Flachbettscanner digitalisiert und danach werden Bildverarbeitungsmethoden in den ingenieurstypischen Programmiersprachen Matlab oder Python angewendet. Beispielsweise wird eine Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) benutzt, um den dominanten Abstand der gedruckten Strukturen zu ermitteln. Die Automatisierung des Experiments und vor allem der anschließenden Auswertung ist ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt. Um zehntausende von gedruckten Mustern zu analysieren, wurde ein hochautomatisierter computergestützter Workflow entwickelt. Seit kurzem wird von Frau Brumm auch Künstliche Intelligenz, genauer gesagt Deep Learning, zur Klassifizierung der gedruckten Muster verwendet. Dies ist notwendig, um die Skalierbarkeit hin zu industriellen Prozessen zu ermöglichen, indem umfangreiche Versuchsreihen an industriellen Maschinen durchgeführt und automatisiert ausgewertet werden. Diese werden anschließend mit kleineren Versuchsreihen an speziell entwickelten Labormaschinen verglichen, bei denen teilweise auch Modellfluide anstelle von realen Druckfarben verwendet werden. Bei Laborexperimenten werden in Teilprojekt C01 im SFB 1194 auch Hochgeschwindigkeitsvideos der hochdynamischen Grenzflächeninstabilität aufgenommen, die noch tiefere Einblicke in die Strömungsdynamik bieten und die industriellen Experimente ergänzen und erklären sollen. Der Maschinenbau ist sehr breit gefächert und das Studium muss dementsprechend auch breite Kenntnisse vermitteln. Beispielsweise werden umfangreiche Methoden aus der Mathematik gelehrt, damit ein/e Maschinenbau-Absolvent/in für die diversen Anwendungsaufgaben gerüstet ist. In der modernen Forschung ist die Fähigkeit zur interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit und zur Wissenschaftskommunikation sehr entscheidend. Maschinenbauer/innen im SFB 1194 arbeiten beispielsweise mit Mathematikern/innen, Physikern/innen und Informatikern/innen zusammen, um eine größere Forschungsfrage zu beantworten. In dieser Podcast-Folge wird auch an junge Frauen appelliert, ein MINT-Studium auszuprobieren, um mehr Diversität im Studium, Forschung und Industrie zu erreichen, um am Ende noch innovativere Lösungen zu schaffen, die der Welt einen Nutzen bringen.

1956 ist entschieden: In Karlsruhe soll der erste atomare Forschungsreaktor der Bundesrepublik entstehen. Physik-Nobelpreisträger Werner Heisenberg hatte sich für München stark gemacht, denn er ist mit seiner Forschungsgruppe aus Göttingen dorthin gezogen. Doch Kanzler Konrad Adenauer entscheidet zugunsten von Karlsruhe. Eine Rolle spielen dabei auch sicherheitspolitische Erwägungen. München liegt Adenauer zu nahe an der aus Moskau kontrollierten Tschechoslowakei. Zur Vertragsunterzeichnung schickt der Kanzler seinen Atomminister Franz Josef Strauß nach Karlsruhe. Wir hören zunächst den Bericht vom Festakt, anschließend eine Umfrage, die die Stimmung der Karlsruher widerspiegelt. Die Bauarbeiten in Karlsruhe beginnen zunächst am Rhein bei Maxau. Doch nach einem Jahr ist klar: Das ist wegen der Hochwassergefährdung dann doch zu unsicher. Das Kernforschungszentrum entsteht schließlich weiter vom Fluss entfernt, bei Leopoldshafen. Der Reaktor geht wegen dieser und anderer Verzögerungen erst 1961 in Betrieb und wird deshalb nicht der erste Reaktor in der Bundesrepublik – das wird der in Garching, zu dessen Inbetriebnahme wir im SWR2 Archivradio eine eigene Aufnahme haben. Das Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe wird später in Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe umbenannt und fusioniert 2009 mit der Universität zum heutigen Karlsruhe Institute of Technology KIT.

Continuiamo a parlare della possibilità di utilizzare alcuni metalli estremamente diffusi come riserva di energia. Infatti, come abbiamo visto nella puntata precedente, ci sono metalli altamente reattivi che, nelle giuste condizioni, bruciano intensamente: come il litio, il sodio e il magnesio. O come l'alluminio, grazie al quale si potrebbero costituire riserve di energia di lungo periodo quali quelle richieste da un sistema basato su rinnovabili.Come ben sappiamo l'alluminio non prende fuoco facilmente, e questo è un bene perché ciò consente di stoccarlo in grandi quantità senza rischi per la sicurezza. Ma a contatto con vapor d'acqua a 600 gradi brucia generando moltissimo calore; mentre inserito nel giusto processo elettrochimico potrebbe produrre altrettanta elettricità.Senza contare, infine, l'opportunità che simile sistema di stoccaggio offrirebbe di riportare la produzione di alluminio nei confini nazionali dell'Italia e di altri paesi. Ospite Stefano Passerini, direttore dell'Helmholtz Institute Ulm, presso il Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Cosa pensereste se vi dicessi che il futuro "barile di petrolio" potrebbe essere una sbarra di alluminio?Anche se siamo abituati a pensare ai metalli come a materiali da fabbricazione, molti metalli sono fortemente reattivi; per esempio, ci sono metalli che bruciano intensamente come il litio, il sodio o il magnesio e, nelle giuste condizioni, l'alluminio.A patto di saperli "bruciare" nel modo giusto (magari in qualcosa che, più che a una fornace, assomigli a una batteria o a una cella a combustibile) questi metalli si possono quindi considerare combustibili a zero emissioni, e potrebbero essere utilizzati per costituire riserve di energia di lungo periodo senza le difficoltà di stoccaggio che presentano altri candidati a questo ruolo, incluso l'idrogeno.

How does the beauty of the landscape, i.e. scenicness, play into the deployment of wind power? And how can we measure scenicness? Those questions are addressed by Professor Russell McKenna and his co-authors in the study Quantifying the trade-off between cost-efficiency and public acceptance for onshore wind (working paper) and journal paper Scenicness assessment of onshore wind sites with geotagged photographs and impacts on approval and cost-efficiency. Inspired by the Economist article Computer analysis of what is scenic may help town planners, the researchers applied the scenicness dataset ScenicOrNot to evaluate wind deployment in landscapes.   During the interview, we discuss Pablo Hevia-Koch's PhD thesis on acceptance costs. The Peer Review section discusses the study How much wind power potential does Europe have? Examining European wind power potential with an enhanced socio-technical atlas. And the comment to this from McKenna et al.: On the socio-technical potential for onshore wind in Europe: A response to Enevoldsen et al.  Also, the response by Enevoldsen et al.    The study was authored by Russell McKenna of University of Aberdeen, previously Technical University of Denmark. Jann Weinand of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Ismir Mulalić of Copenhagen Business School, Stefan Petrović of Danish Energy Agency, previously Technical University of Denmark, Kai Mainzer of greenventory, and Tobias Preis and Helen Susannah Moat, both of Warwick Business School and The Alan Turing Institute.

The system uses changes in resonance of a quartz crystal and a machine learning algorithm to distinguish between various mints with high specificity. (6:15) - Wastewater Energy Harvesting:Microbial fuel cells have been around for quite some time and their purpose is simple: turn the organic waste into bioelectricity. Professor Zhen He at Washington University in St. Louis decided to build on this platform and developed a fuel cell that can generate electricity while filtering water.(12:35) - Farm Monitoring From Space:Droughts can be disastrous for farmers and drought insurance is a tool that can help alleviate some of that burden; however, it is often riddled with bureaucracy and having to wait until your crops fail before a payout. Newly published research from ETH Zurich suggests that monitoring crops via satellites and creating insurance policies that payout automatically in response to real-time changes of drought parameters could be the future of agriculture.
