JARA-CSD member Holger Hoos warns of a potential AI bubble in the US: language models and projects such as autonomous driving are failing to meet expectations, putting both stock markets and public trust at risk. Rather than viewing AI as a replacement for humans, its strength lies, for example, in assistive systems. He shares his insights and perspectives in the interview.
As part of the ENTRANCE project, a two-day event will take place at the University of Münster on 10 and 11 November 2025. The event combines the follow-up meeting to the ENTRANCE Focus Trip to China (6–14 September 2025) with a regional networking event. Participants of the trip will have the opportunity to reflect on their experiences, exchange ideas, and dive deeper into key topics.
As part of the ENTRANCE project, scientists have the opportunity to take part in a research trip to Beijing, Hangzhou, and Hsinchu from March 21 to 28, 2026. The focus will be on exchange and new perspectives on the circular economy. The application deadline is November 16, 2025.
Researchers from the two JARA partners, RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich, have for the first time combined the principles of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis in an innovative material. The result is a catalyst that is five times more active and simultaneously more stable, a promising step toward the green hydrogen economy of tomorrow. Prof. Regina Palkovits (JARA-ENERGY) and her team played a key role in this achievement.
A research team led by Prof. Detlev Grützmacher (JARA-FIT), in collaboration with partners, has developed a groundbreaking alloy: CSiGeSn - a novel semiconductor composed of four elements from group IV of the periodic table. Not only is this new material fully CMOS-compatible, but it also paves the way for entirely new applications in photonics, microelectronics, and quantum technologies. With this innovation, the researchers are laying the groundwork for scalable, next-generation chips and the high-tech solutions of tomorrow.
