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…
