Prof. Svenja Caspers studies the many factors that influence individual brain development. Her research focuses on how the brain ages – a process that varies enormously from person to person. A topic in the new issue of effzett.

Whether it’s a field or a climate chamber, virtual representations of agricultural systems are being created on computers at Jülich. These digital twins not only optimize yields, but also promote climate protection.

How do people move when space becomes limited? And what influence do age and exhaustion have in this? These questions are being investigated by Jülich researchers in experiments conducted jointly with partners from the German Sport University in Cologne.

The international APARC report on the Hunga volcanic eruption in 2022 provides new insights into the extent to which individual extreme events can change the global atmosphere – and why such processes must be taken into account in climate assessments and political decisions. The project was coordinated by the APARC International Project Office based at Forschungszentrum Jülich.

Computer chips generate a lot of heat and require a lot of energy for cooling. Electronics that operate at very low temperatures could reduce power consumption by up to 80 %. Prof. Qing-Tai Zhao explains how in this interview.
