Innovative Earth observation with “DIEGOSat” supporting climate protection, agriculture and security

With the support of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, a joint consortium of scientific teams and space industry has now launched the “DIEGOSat” satellite feasibility project. Under the leadership of Dr. Johannes Schultz from Ruhr University Bochum, a thermal infrared sensor, originally developed for the International Space Station (ISS), is foreseen to be operated on its own satellite. The satellite sensor will provide thermal imaging data with high temporal resolution, enabling a variety of applications in environmental monitoring, agriculture and disaster control. Researchers from the University of Bonn are involved in the project.

Fending Off Cyberattacks in Healthcare

Artificial intelligence (AI) is designed to make our health system even more efficient. Yet cyberattacks are capable not only of jeopardizing patient safety but also impairing medical devices and hindering the work of emergency responders. With the “SecureNeuroAI” project, researchers from the University of Bonn, University Hospital Bonn and FIZ Karlsruhe – the Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure are aiming to develop secure, AI-powered methods for detecting medical emergencies in real time using the example of epileptic seizures, although their findings should be applicable to many other areas. The Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) is providing almost €2.5 million in funding over a three-year period.

How likely is a second colon Cancer?

A current study by the German Familial Colorectal Cancer Consortium is looking at the question of which people with Lynch syndrome are at an increased risk of developing a second colorectal cancer. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn and the University of Leipzig have now published their findings in the journal "Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology".

Small Flows with a Big Impact

As far as the early-career researcher is concerned, water is also the elixir of life in a scientific sense: Dr. Clarissa Glaser, a hydrologist at the University of Bonn, has been investigating H₂O in a truly unique way. In a project funded by the Klaus Tschira Stiftung, she has set out to model how the water in rivers and streams all over the world is exchanged with that in the surrounding landscape, e.g. in littoral zones, stream sediment or floodplains.
