The ICT International Annual Conference serves as a forum to discuss the current state of the art, to present new methods, ideas, and research results and to further improve scientific understanding in the field of energetic materials. Join our conference to benefit from a platform for lively discussions, detailed exchange of scientific results and - most importantly for networking with international experts. Up to this day after decades of research and progress the development of new energetic materials and systems still relies heavily on cost and time-consuming trial and error. The reason for this is that energetic materials characteristics like performance, sensitivity or ageing often exhibit unexpected and very sensitive dependencies on changing environmental conditions like temperature, pressure, or chemical composition. Also, the identification of essential input parameters for established numerical simulations is often constrained by challenging experimental conditions or financial and temporal limitations which restrict the detailed characterization to only a few selected candidate materials. New methods from Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Science could revolutionize the development of new energetic materials and systems in the future. This would enable scientists to screen larger chemical spaces, live cycle conditions or applications than ever before, to learn about cause-effect relationships and to extract more information from datasets. However, there is a caveat. One of the main challenges is the often limited size and quality of datasets, which hinders the development of precise models and the ability to discriminate between real information and statistical noise. The 54th International Annual Conference of the Fraunhofer ICT gives energetic materials researchers a unique opportunity to discuss new methods and trends, to meet old and new colleagues and to contribute to a lively discussion. In particular, the conference offers a unique platform for young scientists and early-career researchers to present their research and to build their international network of experts. The integration of "Advances in metal fuels and reactive materials science and technology", a symposium organized by Dr. Carole Rossi (Toulouse/F), Dylan J. Kline (Livermore, CA/USA), Conrad J. M. Hessels (Eindhoven/NL) and Peter Schaaf (Ilmenau/D), into the 2025 ICT International Annual Conference will contribute further to its wide spectrum of scientific contributions. Chairman of the Conference Dr. Sebastian Wurster Spokesman for Explosives Technology, Safety and Security Fraunhofer ICT, Pfinztal, Germany

Particle surface properties and their understanding - a trend also among young scientists Three candidates nominated for the #LUM Science Prize YSA in June 2024   On June 10th and 11th, 2024, LUM GmbH will be hosting the 11th International Conference on Dispersion Analysis and Material Testing (#ICDAMT2024) in Berlin. Prof. Dr. Dr. Lerche, Chairman of the Scientific Committee: Since 2014, we have been advertising the Young Scientist Award (YSA) for outstanding scientific achievements in the areas of particle and dispersion characterization as well as materials testing and awarding it at the conference according to defined quality criteria. Young scientists from Germany, France, India, Norway and the Czech Republic answered the call and applied for the prize. Three finalists from Europe and India were ultimately nominated by the jury for 2024. They will attend the conference with their interesting results upon invitation. Completely independent of the selection procedure, the overarching theme of particle surface properties and their characterization is excitingly visible in all nominated applications, a trend that we are increasingly encountering in our own scientific work and with our customers. #youngscientists #particlesurface #characterization READ MORE ON https://lnkd.in/dBYjcv6v

Hi everybody, I am looking forward to attending the URSI National Radio UPDATE: Slides uploaded to LinkedIN. See my new post 🫡 Science Meeting (NRSM) that will be held in Boulder, Colorado, Jan 7-11. A short paper titled "The Computational Burden of Next-Gen Terahertz SDR and Algorithmic Paths for Solutions" by Professors Renato Cintra (UFPE, Brazil), Yasaman Ghasempour (Princeton), Josep Miquel Jornet (Northeastern), and myself will be presented by yours truly. If you will be in the Boulder/Denver area and/or attending NRSM-2025 during Jan 9-11, please let me know. Would love to catch up with you. The paper in brief: we talk about the repercussions of baseband bandwidth scaling in 6G and beyond. For the same algorithm, say you need M multiply-add operations per second for B bandwidth. When you have 100B bandwidth, if your algorithms remain the same, you now got to deal with 100M number of MACs which means 100x power increase and 100x increase of compute. Unless there is a hardware/silicon miracle, this is not a realistic situation. How do we deal with such scaling at the chip level? We have a few tricks up our sleeve...

I was absolutely delighted to have been part of a UK delegation to CERN, organised by The Foundation For Science and Technology and IdeaSquare - the innovation space at CERN. As someone with a PhD in physics , CERN has always been on my bucket list but I've never had the opportunity - even when I was a French academic - because my research at ESPCI Paris - IPGG was geared more towards soft matter physics (fluids, gels, polymers, biophysics) and less particle physics (though, Quantum Mechanics was my favourite subject when I did my Masters and that's credit to my professor back then at Paris-Saclay. She was brilliant).Anyway, I digress. CERN for me is the embodiment of what collaborations can achieve for innovation. And this works for all disciplines of science and technology. We're all trying to contribute to solve a problem in our respective fields, and from time-to-time, we encounter roadblocks or even skeptics - and that is normal, as doubt is an integral part of the scientific process. Our responsibility then is to lay out why such innovations are necessary, supported by facts, to convince stakeholders (e.g. people, government, private investors) that our own scientific projects (whatever they may be) solve many challenges and that investments in our projects provide value-add and returns. #InvestInScience #supportscience #collaboration #innovation ----------------------------- It was thrilling to descend 100m into one of the detectors within the 27km circumference Large Hadron Collider. Here I am, together with some of my colleagues from the Foundation, Jenny Hindson, Policy Delivery Manager for the Government of Scotland and Sam Islam MIET, ASEP, MINCOSE, Systems Engineering Consultant from Energy Systems Catapult. (Photo credit: Jenny Hindson, thank you for letting me use the photo 🙏 ). The Foundation for Science & Technology brings together leaders from government, industry and academia to discuss relevant issues and how it influences UK research & innovation policy in the coming years.

An updated version of the primer "A Contribution to Disambiguation of Scientific Terms" aims to contribute to improving the transparency and transferability of basic concepts relevant to science, engineering, medicine, and education. The relevant terms used in these domains serve as the building blocks for the monumental edifice we call knowledge. This construction began millennia ago and is not meant to cease until it reaches galactic proportions. However, this endeavor and its fruits are adversely affected if misaligned or ambiguous concepts and their names are built in. Link to Book: https://lnkd.in/gpWv8fGG
