By Meik Bittkowski, Science Media Center Germany, Cologne One way to augment (not replace) science journalism is to provide technological support for journalistic work processes, from monitoring and research to the production of new content. The Science Media Center Germany, founded in 2015, had its own R&D lab right from the start to […]

By Michele Parrinello, Italian Institute of Technology, Genova (Italy) The transition to a green economy depends critically on the development of efficient catalysts that could for instance help in sequestrating CO2 or producing H2. To reach this goal a detailed understanding of the catalytic mechanism would be of great value. Unfortunately, most industrial […]

By Volker Springel, Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Garching, Germany HITS Fellow 2018 Numerical simulations of cosmic structure formation have become a powerful tool in astrophysics. Starting right after the Big Bang, they predict the dark matter backbone of the cosmic web far into the non-linear regime and follow complex galaxy formation physics with […]
Come and join us for our Open Day at HITS on Saturday, 13 July, from 11am-5pm The Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies will open its doors to the public again. The program includes science talks in English and German, presentations and hands-on stations, all showcasing the research of the Institute. One of the highlights this […]
