Um die Fortschritte im Bereich der digitalen Lehre an Hochschulen nachhaltig auszubauen, f?rdert das Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen (MKW NRW) gemeinsam mit der Digitalen Hochschule NRW (DH.NRW) in der F?rderlinie ?OERContent.nrw“ (Open Education Resources) zum zweiten Mal 18 Konzepte für digitale Lehr- und Lernformate mit insgesamt mehr als 10 Millionen Euro.
The use of weapons that act autonomously and without human assistance have long since left the realm of science-fiction and entered reality. According to UN reports they were already being used in Libya in March 2020. The rapid development of autonomous weapon systems (AWS) is a controversial topic in international security.
Fake news and disinformation are becoming an ever-bigger problem. The most recent example being the high-profile incident that saw a streaming service accused of spreading false information. Social media are particularly susceptible to the phenomenon. In a joint research project, researchers are now investigating why this is the case, which individuals or groups are behind it and what can be done to stamp it out. The project, entitled ‘Prevent’,…
Stable energy supply using artificial intelligence: Paderborn’s researchers and companies shine a spotlight on operation and control strategies for microgrids
International team of researchers publishes review in Nature Reviews Physics
Due to their unique properties, 2D materials, which consist of a single layer of atoms, are increasingly being used in optoelectronic devices, as quantum light sources and in integrated circuits. Research into the quantum technologies enabled by 2D materials has been advancing rapidly since 2015, with further potential for yet further advances. An international team of…
In 2018, the German Research Foundation (DFG) established a large-scale Priority Programme co-ordinated by Paderborn University and entitled ‘Electronic-Photonic Integrated Systems for Ultrafast Signal Processing’.
Der Einsatz von Robotern spielt eine immer gr??er werdende Rolle in unserer Gesellschaft. In produzierenden Unternehmen ist die Automatisierungs-Robotik, zum Beispiel durch die ?bernahme von Arbeiten an Flie?b?ndern, nicht mehr wegzudenken.
The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a joint project being carried out by Paderborn University, the University of Rostock and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz that plans to leverage sunlight to make chemical reactions more environmentally friendly.
How can disadvantaged young people more successfully access working life after leaving school? Researchers from the University of Jena and Paderborn University are exploring this issue in their new research project ‘SeiP: Practicing self-promotion – approaches to a self-determined, multimodal competence assessment for young people with disadvantages/disabilities’.
Researchers from Paderborn University publish findings in ‘Optica’
Researchers at Paderborn University have demonstrated that ‘spontaneous parametric down-conversion’ – a phenomenon from the field of quantum photonics – is compatible with cryogenic, i.e. extremely cold, operating conditions required for superconducting detectors. Their findings are important for, among other things, applications of quantum optics in integration platforms, e.g.…
Paderborn University physicist Professor Klaus J?ns has been awarded an ‘ERC Starting Grant’ from the European Research Council (ERC) – one of the most prestigious awards in the field of science in Europe.
