Humans adapt to environmental changes by balancing empirical observations with prior beliefs and evaluating if unexpected events indicate a true change. The specific factors that govern updating behavior in dynamic environments remain to be elucidated. [...]

Influential theories on error processing assume that when we make errors, adaptive processes are triggered to improve our behaviour. These processes appear to be more effective after participants have detected an error. [...]

Soil moisture is a key variable in the water and energy cycles at the atmosphere-land-vegetation interface. Accurate and continuous soil moisture data are essential for many applications, including water resources management, drought monitoring, and agricultural forecasting. [...]

Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) provide a sensitive probe of physics beyond the standard model and are directly linked to additional sources of 𝐶⁢𝑃 violation that could explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. EDM measurements of charged particles in storage rings rely on detecting a small tilt of the invariant spin axis with respect to the ring plane. [...]

The AgraSim experiment at Forschungszentrum Jülich is a unique laboratory for research on the impact of climate conditions on agricultural ecosystems and for the optimization of climate models. For the high-resolution 3D tomography of soil parameters, we develop a modular Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) monitoring system with 39 DAQ modules, each containing 64 antennas. [...]

Metal-free organic electrode materials are of increasing interest due to their environmental compatibility, natural abundance, and structural versatility. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is an intrinsically conductive polymeric salt that has emerged as a multifunctional electrode material, serving both as a conductive additive and as binder in energy storage applications.
