Time Flies!

Seconds and minutes always tick along at the same speed on a clock. Nevertheless, our perception of how quickly time passes depends on the situation. With the help of AI, Jülich researchers have now found the first trace of a neural pattern in the brain that is responsible for how we experience time.

Thinking about recycling from the get-go

Roll-up displays and photovoltaic films for façades – organic electronics have a great deal of potential. However, recycling concepts should be in place before the new technology becomes a mass product, recommends materials researcher Christoph Brabec.

How Forests Breathe

Heat, drought, and pests cause stress in plants. The composition of their “breath” is changing – which also has an impact on air quality and climate. Eva Pfannerstill is investigating these changes with a new measuring method.

Capturing CO2

To limit global warming, we need to emit less carbon dioxide (CO2) in future and also remove large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. This is the only way to prevent temperatures from rising by more than two degrees Celsius. Researchers involved in the DACStorE project are working on a technology to help achieve this aim.

The Accelerator

More efficient, faster, and sustainable: catalysis is Regina Palkovits’ passion as well as being an important aspect of "catalaix", a project being provided with € 106 million in funding. But accelerating processes is also a crucial part of the chemist’s life.

Spotlight on JUPITER

Europe’s first exascale computer is set to be launched at Jülich, JUPITER. The versatile supercomputer will be one of the world’s most powerful AI machines and opens up new possibilities for simulating complex systems. Its applications range from the quantum cosmos to issues relating to the energy transition.

As we see it

The new showpiece on the Jülich campus is bright and colourful. The test stand will be used to develop more efficient and cost-effective electrolyzers for hydrogen production. The most important colour shimmers in the background: green. After all, the hydrogen in question is also green. Green means that it is generated using electricity from renewable sources only. The electrolyzers being tested are particularly suited to this task thanks to a special polymer membrane. What makes the project unique is that the electrolyzers in the test stand do not run on a laboratory scale but on an industrial scale. The facility is part of the DERIEL project, which is part of the national H2Giga flagship project.
