Genetic mechanisms uncovered

Boron deficiency: oilseed rape reacts as with infection and pest infestation

Boron deficiency has a devastating effect on oilseed rape and related plants. However, little is known about the underlying genetic mechanisms. A study shows that the response to persistent or short-term acute boron deficiency is similar to that to pests and infections. The results lay the foundation for breeding plants that can better cope with boron deficiency and for avoiding related yield losses.

Current status of 6G Future Lab Bavaria

Cutting-edge research on 6G at TUM

With the rollout of the 5G network still ongoing in Germany, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are already conducting fundamental research for the next mobile communications generation. In the 6G Future Lab Bavaria, the team is developing and testing fundamental mechanisms to make communications more efficient, resilient and secure for all segments of society. On Friday the researchers presented a status report following the first three years of the project to Bavarian minister of economic affairs Hubert Aiwanger.

Pioneering approach to conflicting goals

Hybrid intelligence can reconcile biodiversity and agriculture

Preserving biodiversity without reducing agricultural productivity: So far, these two goals could not be reconciled because the socio-ecological system of agriculture is highly complex, and the interactions between humans and the environment are difficult to capture using conventional methods. Thanks to new technology, a research team at the Technical University of Munich and the University of Hohenheim show a promising way to achieve both goals at the same time. The members of the team focus on further developing artificial intelligence in combination with collective human judgement: the use of hybrid intelligence.

Podcast „We are TUM“

How we do research with the society

Involving the public increases the relevance of research in a variety of ways. We present three projects that thrive on this exchange: The Cluster of Excellence MCube deals with the effects of urban mobility on public space. Our guests are spokesperson Prof. Sebastian Pfotenhauer and Marco Kellhammer, head of the sub-project "Car-reduced quarters for a more livable city (AQT)". Other projects: Student Hannah Tilsch has developed a mechanism for dealing with hate speech on social media, Franziska Bauer and Immanuel Wolfschläger from the Chair of Aquatic Systems Biology are using an app in their research on blue-green algae.

NewIn: Marcello Ienca

Why we need Neuroethics

New findings in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and brain research are accelerating each other. The emerging technologies will profoundly change our lives. However, we are at a point where we can shape these developments, says Marcello Ienca. In this episode of "NewIn," the Professor of Ethics of AI and Neuroscience talks about the potential and risks of current developments.

Steady increase in need for non-medical ethical decisions

New ethics committee for AI and related fields at TUM

An increasing share of submissions to the Ethics Committee of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) – now one in six – relate to topics such as human-machine interactions, artificial intelligence, data protection and personality rights – and no longer solely to medical issues. In response to this trend, TUM has now established a non-medical subcommittee.
