HZB Science Paper featured on the cover of the May issue of the journal #SmallStructures. The Cover of the journal #SmallStructures refers to recent results of Catherine Dubourdieu and her #team. They work on memristive devices, based on YMnO3 with Aluminium as an active electrode. The migration of the Aluminium cations is localized in grain boundaries between the different nanocrystalline phases of the YMnO3. Such migration paths prevent the oxidation of Aluminium cations in the electrolyte and remove the randomness in electrochemical metallization cells. Illustration by Laura Canil.

#Science & #Art: 𝗔 𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗬 𝗜𝗜: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 An art installation will be erected in front of the entrance to the BESSY building. The sculpture was chosen in a competion. It invites people to sit down and exchange ideas. Art on buildings is one of the requirements for publicly funded construction projects. HZB is also bound by this requirement. For the three construction projects EMIL, BERLinPro and the testing hall, the HZB department "Planning and Construction" has now decided to realise one large project in front of BESSY II instead of three smaller works of art. Together with external consultants from [phase eins]., the experts organised a competition. The artwork had to be related to HZB's research and enhance the quality of the square. "We had 62 ideas in total. From these, the jury selected ten designs in the first session," says HZB architect Heike Kampherm. The first prize went to Peter Sandhaus, an artist based in #Berlin, for his "Neuron Accelerator": a curvy, ring-shaped sculpture that invites people to sit down and exchange ideas. The sculpture, made of white, matt-finished concrete, will be placed in front of the entrance to BESSY II. "The jury of top-class art experts was surprisingly unanimous," says Kampherm, "and the winning design also impressed the representatives of the HZB". The name "Neuron Accelerator", which may be confusing at first, refers to the accelerator inside BESSY II, but also to the nerve cells in our brains. Credit: Peter Sandmann

𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀'𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗺 𝗛𝗭𝗕 80 Schülerinnen aus Berlin und Brandenburg haben an unseren Workshops zum Girls'Day teilgenommen. 13 verschiedene Workshops haben unsere Wissenschaftler*innen, Ingenieur*innen, Student*innen und IT Mitarbeitende angeboten. Mit großer Neugier und viel Spaß haben die Mädchen mikroskopiert und Einblick in die Nanowelt bekommen, Kristalle gezüchtet, Programmiert, mit Stickstoff experimentiert und Eis hergestellt oder auch Schmuck vergoldet. Der Girls'Day ist eine bundesweite Initiative des Kompetenzzentrum Technik-Diversity-Chancengleichheit e. V. und er soll Mädchen dazu ermutigen, auch technische, naturwissenschaftliche oder mathematische Berufe zu ergreifen. Unsere Kolleginnen und Kollegen leisten sehr gern ihren Beitrag zum #GirlsDay und geben den Schülerinnen Einblicke in unsere Forschungs- und Arbeitsgebiete.

𝗔𝗜 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 The Helmholtz Association (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft) is funding the development of AI models that are capable of solving complex problems in a clearly defined scientific field. The HZB represented by Eva Unger's Group is participating in the development of a AI foundation model for #photovoltaic research in the 𝙎𝙊𝙇-𝘼𝙄 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩: Development and Optimisation of Photovoltaic Materials. Photovoltaics is a key technology for the energy transition. Innovative solar cell concepts must be implemented more quickly to achieve the necessary increase in the global use of low-cost solar power. Research and development activities in this area are increasing rapidly, resulting in a wealth of scientific publications. However, the sheer volume of data is creating limitations in implementing the latest findings. SOL-AI aims to create a foundation model that will fundamentally reform materials informatics in this field. It is capable of integrating the diversity of experimental data and results in the research of photovoltaic materials, advancing innovations in various areas: from accelerated component development and optimization to the discovery of new solar materials. SOL-AI is expected to develop solutions that will have practical relevance for both research and industry. The Helmholtz Centers HZB, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon are participating in the project. Prof. Dr. Eva Unger and Dr. Kevin Maik Jablonka from the HZB are responsible for the content of the project. Solar energy researcher Eva Unger heads the "Solution Processes for Hybrid Materials and Devices" department at HZB, while AI expert Kevin Jablonka is setting up a working group on the use of AI methods for energy materials at the HIPOLE Jena Institute (jointly founded by the University of Jena and HZB). Over the next three years, the four participating Helmholtz centres will develop a functional model that will subsequently be made available to society as open source - from the code to the training data to the trained models.
Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft invests 23 million in research on AI foundation models In fields like #climate research, #medicine, and #energy transition, vast amounts of #data are being generated. Yet, realizing their full potential requires the ability to analyze increasingly massive datasets. Enter a new era of #AI foundation models, poised to tackle major scientific #challenges. Pioneering this frontier is the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, investing approximately 23 million euros in four pilot #projects and essential infrastructure. Twelve Helmholtz Centers are collaborating on projects harnessing AI to enhance radiological diagnoses, deepen our understanding of the global carbon cycle, advance climate modeling, and expedite the development of next-gen photovoltaic modules.
