How do electrons behave under conditions similar to those inside a planet? Researchers subjected aluminum to extreme pressure and high temperatures – and discovered that key models in physics are surprisingly inaccurate. | more
AI programs like ChatGPT can simulate anxiety, sadness, and stress and respond to breathing exercises. Researchers at TU Dresden are demonstrating how large language models could serve as a new tool in psychology. | more
Die meisten Führungskräfte wissen, was gute Führung ausmacht. Sie kennen Kommunikationstechniken, besuchen Seminare und haben zahlreiche Managementbücher gelesen. Und doch geraten viele im Alltag immer wieder in Situationen, die sie verunsichern: schwierige Mitarbeitergespräche, Konflikte im Team, weitreichende Entscheidungen oder der Spagat zwischen wirtschaftlichem Druck und menschlicher Verantwortung. | more
Clouds are more difficult to understand than they may seem. Current weather and climate models still simplify many of their complex structures, making clouds one of the biggest uncertainties in climate research. Now, more than 40 researchers — including scientists from the TROPOS Institute in Leipzig — are launching an ambitious measurement campaign using drones, a helicopter and dozens of sensors to study clouds in unprecedented detail. | more
