A collage with symbolic images of all eight clusters of excellence. A man working on a machine, an observatory, two people in a field, a woman writing something on a piece of paper, a woman in front of a device, a man writing something on a blackboard, an exhibition, a woman looking through a telescope.
A landmark success! The University of Bonn secured funding for all six existing Clusters of Excellence and both new initiatives – more than any other German university. More: www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/095-...

Many of the most important “prompt engineering” skills are just management skills: clearly understanding the task to be done and what information is needed to do it; explaining the task to the AI; giving useful feedback to improve outputs; & generalizing lessons learned into a process.

Opinion | A Day of American Infamy
A dreadful moment for Ukraine, for the free world, for the legacy of an America that once stood for the principles of the Atlantic Charter.
US & W Europe once had a 'twin-track' approach to Soviet Union: engagement & deterrence.
Europe now needs a 'twin-track' approach to US: engagement & independence.
Do for Ukraine & ourselves what *Trump's* US won't do, until the Other America returns.
Starting tomorrow.

An AI-generated image. It is a blue brain that is illuminated orange in the center.
The Lamarr Institute, the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn have developed an AI-based method to improve the visualisation of nerve tracts in the brain. This advance promises to make neurosurgery safer in the future. Read more: www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/026-...

Simon Stellmer Receives ERC Proof of Concept Grant
The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded
Professor Simon Stellmer, a member of the ML4Q
Excellence Cluster at the University of Bonn, a "Proof of
Concept Grant" for his project "GyroRevolutionPlus."
With €150,000 in funding over 18 months, Stellmer
aims to prepare his groundbreaking quantum physics
research for commercial applications. This marks his
second success in the program, following a grant in
2023 for his earlier project "GyroRevolution."
The innovative precision sensors developed by
Stellmer's team improve the accuracy of ring laser
gyroscopes, which measure subtle Earth movements
and structural changes. These sensors hold potential
for enhancing earthquake and landslide predictions and
monitoring large structures like bridges and dams for
minute shifts, ensuring stability and early intervention.
Advancing High-Precision Rotation Sensors
The project builds on quantum physics research,
introducing new gyroscope technology with
unparalleled sensitivity at low rotation rates. While
traditional sensors like ring lasers have limits, Stellmer's
team has created high-precision gyroscopes, including
a four-by-four-meter model. The ERC funding will
support the development of smaller, robust versions
for practical use, including standardized deployment in
boreholes to monitor ground movements.
Two Consecutive ERC Grants
Stellmer's achievements began with a 2017 ERC
Starting Grant and progressed through the 2023 Proof
of Concept grant, during which his team validated the
technology, conducted market analysis, and filed
patents. With the latest funding, the project aims to
spin off as a startup, finalize commercialization, and
identify business partners and market strategies.
Sandra Speer, head of the Transfer Center enaCom,
which supports the project, highlights its significance:
"The practical applications of this innovative
technology, from disaster prevention to structural
safety, showcase its immense societal and market
potential." enaCom provides scouting and advisory
services to transition research into successful startups
or spin-offs.
Congratulations to Prof. Dr. Simon Stellmer! Amazing research!
