Abstract: The demonstration of energy gain by nuclear fusion in the laboratory and its eventual utilization as an unlimited energy source has been a grand challenge for physicists and engineers for 70 years. The realization as an industrial energy source...

Einstein first correctly predicted how mass deflects light. Galaxy clusters, comprising of up to hundreds of galaxies all residing in a still larger dark matter halo, act as excellent gravitational lenses. We present results from the James Webb Space Telescope...

Plasma-based accelerators have demonstrated their ability to accelerate electrons at very high gradients (>100GeV/m). The AWAKE experiment, located at CERN, aims to produce high-energy electron bunches (50 to 200GeV) for application to particle physics. Large energy gain is in principle...

We will resume the regular series starting March 10

Most sporting activities involve a ball. In comparison to the impacting device (bat, club, racket, paddle, etc) the ball is consumable and tends to receive relatively little attention. Yet the ball is complex, inelastic, highly non-linear, and is an integral...

My long-term research goal is to enable real robots to manipulate any kind of object so that they can perform many different tasks in a wide variety of application scenarios, such as in our homes, hospitals, warehouses, or factories. These...
