Modern Magnetic Systems News 09-09-2022 Super-dense packing of hydrogen molecules on a surface In a paper in Nature Chemistry, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, the Technische Universität Dresden, the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory describe the formation of a superdense monolayer of hydrogen on highly ordered mesoporous silica near the boiling temperature. Theoretical studies and simulations confirm the experimental observations of the unusually high hydrogen density in the adsorbed layer and may also open new possibilities for enhancing the volumetric capacity of cryogenic hydrogen storage systems.

Rationality Enhancement News 31-07-2022 ''Boosting human decision-making with AI-generated decision aids” is going to be published! Our work „Boosting human decision-making with AI-generated decision aids" has been accepted in Computational Brain & Behavior. We extend our interpretability method for automated description of planning strategies and show that it can help people make better, more farsighted decisions. Our findings suggest that AI-powered boosting might have potential for improving human decision-making in the real world. Frederic Becker Julian Skirzynski Falk Lieder

Dynamic Locomotion News 18-07-2022 Roboter-Hund lernt in einer Stunde das Laufen Virtuelles Rückenmark wird kontinuierlich optimiert Wie ein neu geborenes Jungtier stolpert ein vierbeiniger Roboter bei seinen ersten Laufversuchen durch die Gegend. Doch während ein Fohlen oder eine Giraffe viel länger bräuchte, um richtig gehen zu können, lernt der Roboter in nur einer Stunde flüssig zu gehen. Ein Computerprogramm, welches wie ein künstliches Nervensystem im Rückenmark fungiert und zu Beginn noch nicht ideal eingestellt ist, lernt dank eines Algorithmus in kürzester Zeit, die Bewegung des Roboters zu optimieren. Am 18. Juli wurde die Forschungsarbeit an der Schnittstelle der Robotik und Biologie im renommierten Fachjournal Nature Machine Intelligence veröffentlicht. Felix Ruppert Alexander Badri-Spröwitz
