This exhibit from @KIT_Karlsruhe is an excellent reason to visit:

Maybe on my way back from Munich in May. CM-200 was the first really parallel computer I learned, after some limited experience with CRAY "microtasking". Our group got a very short sample structural mechanics code in CM Fortran from Zdenek Johan at TMC and that was enough to quickly port our finite element flow solver. Never since have I used parallel language so effective.

I'm visiting University of Western Australia as Gledden Fellow for the first time. I must say that Perth and the UWA campus are just stunning!

It's always fantastic to visit Prof. Kazuo Kashiyama's CMLab at Chuo University in central Tokyo. I visited over 10 times by now, and every time, it's a delightful experience. Here, we enjoyed demos of an upgraded VR Cave system. Also on the program, German-Japanese Workshop on Computational Mechanics, and Kenjiro Terada's 60th Birthday Colloquium. And on the lighter side, Tokyo Marathon (second time as participant) and World Baseball Classic.

Even if “flying wheels” aren’t practical yet, exploring ideas like this is how innovation happens. Every impossible concept has a kernel worth developing. Who knows? The future of cycling might be more uplifting than we think. 😉

Don't we just love MS Outlook? Never mind that the message deceivingly invites you to switch to "new" Outlook, which apparently has fewer functions than the old one. I'm so happy to have to use this abomination only in order to remove attachments which Apple Mail is not able to remove.

🔬🔥 TermoLab – tam, gdzie nauka spotyka temperaturę!

Jeśli interesuje Cię fizyka, materiały i to, co dzieje się z nimi w ekstremalnych warunkach, koniecznie sprawdź, co robimy w TermoLabie!

💡 Badamy zachowanie materiałów w wysokich i niskich temperaturach, analizujemy przewodnictwo cieplne, oporność, a nawet to, jak zmienia się struktura kryształów pod wpływem ciepła i zimna.

Nature magazine wants to leave Xitter for BlueSky and is asking for input.

In the thread below this toot, there is an un-paywalled link to the Nature Poll. Where it asks what you like about BkueSky, you can say you like mastodon :-)
And you can submit multiple times, apparently.

Hi, scientists from the Fediverse! It seems that Nature is asking people about Twitter migration and if they are happier on #bluesky . On Nature writers' minds, Bluesky is the only place to migrate to. There's not a single mention of the Fediverse in there! However, there is a small free text box where you can write your thoughts, in the step before "send" button. So I did fill the poll anyway, writing why I decided not to go to Bluesky but to Mastodon instead. I thought that maybe if we get enough people to actually fill the survey and mention that they migrated to Mastodon, we can make a stronger case for open, free networks. It's an extremely short survey, so let's try! https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00037-y #academicchatter #OpenScience

Like every year since 2015, I spend part of my last days in the office working on the CATS institute report for the alumni and friends. It's a chance to review the year, and pick the most amazing stuff. This is probably the most fun thing I do at work!

We now learned that our defense in August bore fruit and that the SFB Transregio 402 DediGrad is going to be funded starting in 2025 for the initial period of four years. The project is coordinated by the @tuchemnitz, and IKV, CATS, ANTS and WZL at RWTH Aachen are partners. The goal is to make plastics production processes more sustainable via a tailored use of reinforcement.

Last week, visiting the Chemical and Biological Engineering department at the Seoul National University. Pictured here with students from Jaewook Nam's lab. We are working together on modeling and simulation of battery slurries and their processing.
