Wissenschaft und Forschung müssen heute klarer reflektieren und deutlicher erklären, was sie tun und warum sie es tun. Dies betrifft nicht nur die Verwendung von öffentlichen Ressourcen, sondern auch Forschungsziele und methodische Ansätze. [...]

Steigende Verkehrsaufkommen im Personen- und Güterverkehr stellen den deutschen Straßenverkehr neben der Erreichung der Treibhausgasneutralität vor zwei zentrale Herausforderungen. Einerseits muss die Verkehrsinfrastruktur so ausgelegt werden, dass zukünftige Verkehrsströme bewältigt werden können. [...]

The emerging field of orbitronics, which exploits the orbital degree of freedom of electrons rather than spin for information processing, offers a promising platform for next-generation eco-friendly electronic devices. It is also regarded a viable alternativeto spintronics, with orbital degree of freedom playing a central role in transport phenomena and magnetization manipulation. [...]

Microplastics (MPs) are increasingly recognized as emerging contaminants in agricultural soils, where they alter soil structure, hydraulic properties, microbial communities, and plant performance. This work investigates the influence of soil texture and MP type on soil hydraulic properties, early winter wheat growth, and MP mineralization dynamics. [...]

Climate change is expected to significantly alter water availability, intensifying the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and increasing the risk of drought. Actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is a key component in the terrestrial water cycle, linking the hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere by modulating a range of land surface and ecohydrological processes. [...]

Neutrons are an indispensable tool for science and industry to study the structure and dynamics of matter from the meso to the pico scale and from seconds to femtoseconds. An attractive way to provide urgently needed neutrons in the near future is to build efficient high-current, accelerator-based neutron sources (HiCANS) using pulsed proton beams. [...]

The research investigates two main questions in particle physics and cosmology: the fate of antimatter after the Big Bang and the nature of Dark Matter (DM). It focuses on studying Electric Dipole Moments (EDMs) in particles like protons and deuterons using polarized particle beams in a storage ring. [...]
