Yesterday we had special visitors on our campus: our future, in the form of dozens of girls from local schools, and who were participating in the MINT:PINK Programme put together by NAT Hamburg. MINT:PINK strives to bring young girls in contact with scientific and technical professions and provide role models to encourage them to pursue these avenues. In her opening greeting, DESY particle physics director Beate Heinemann shared her own experiences as a pupil, and what kept her going to become a professor of physics: “the joy of finding things out.”

It’s open! The CTAO Science Data Management Centre on the DESY Campus in Zeuthen is officially inaugurated. With a handover of a ceremonial key from Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung State Secretary Mario Brandenburg and Brandenburg State Secretary for Science, Research, and Culture Tobias Dünow, DESY, CTAO, and the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft / Helmholtz Association now can start their work inside the building. The SDMC will house experts who will analyse data from the observatory, which will be situated in the Atacama Desert in Chile and La Palma in the Canary Islands. The data on gamma rays produced by cosmically accelerated particles will give new insights on the structure of the universe, massive events that occur within it, and potentially the nature of dark matter. In a discussion during the inauguration ceremony with DESY particle physics director Beate Heinemann and Helmholtz President Otmar D. Wiestler, CTAO director Stuart McMuldroch said “without the SDMC, there is no observatory.” Christian Stegmann, who leads the Zeuthen site and is DESY director for astroparticle physics, spoke of the CTAO headquarters in Bologna and the SDMC at DESY in Zeuthen being to pillars of scientific excellence within the international collaboration that operates and performs research in the observatory. #astroparticlephysics #astrophysics #astronomy #openingfordiscovery Photos: Marco Urban for DESY

Preparations are under way for the inauguration of the new building for the CTAO Science Data Management Centre on our #Zeuthen campus. Starting at 17:00 on 14 October, you can watch the ceremony on livestream: English: https://lnkd.in/ewMTWiF5 German/Deutsch: https://lnkd.in/eTqUYrBd The SDMC will be the destination for gamma ray data captured in Chile and the Canary Islands by an array of state-of-the-art telescopes. Experts in the SDMC will analyse and process the data, combing through its details to find clues of major events across the universe, in an effort to understand several everything from dark matter to the origins of cosmic rays. #openingfordiscovery

On Monday we will bring CTAO’s Science Data Management Centre into operation! Check the links below for livestreams of the inauguration event on 14 October at 17:00 CET! #openingfordiscovery
Next week marks the start of an important new chapter for the CTAO! Join us LIVE as we inaugurate the CTAO Science Data Management Centre (SDMC) building in Zeuthen, Germany, with our hosting partners DESY. As one of the four core facilities of the Observatory, the CTAO SDMC serves as the scientific gateway for data received from the two telescope sites, coordinating global software efforts and making data products accessible to the world. More than 250 guests will attend this special celebration, which will include words from state and local dignitaries in addition to CTAO and DESY leadership.

We say congratulations to David Baker, the biochemist who shares the 2024 Chemistry #Nobelprize with Demis Hassabis and John Jumper. Baker’s work on predicting protein structures and building synthetic proteins has had a major impact on our understanding of the workhorses of the cell. Baker is a user at our partner institute European XFEL and collaborates with DESY lead scientist Henry Chapman’s group on X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy experiments on synthetic proteins. Says Chapman, who leads the Coherent X-Ray Imaging Division at the Center for Free Electron Laser Science at DESY, “It has been wonderful to collaborate with David Baker and his group on using designer proteins for XFEL experiments to learn more about protein dynamics.” The award in general, which also cites the use of AI in understanding protein structures, shows the interplay and complementarity between artificial intelligence and large-scale research infrastructures.

Congratulations to both laureates! In all research areas at DESY their groundbreaking work and all the developments coming after that is used daily: from steering particle accelerators to data anlysis in particle and astroparticle physics to photon science.
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” This year’s two Nobel Prize laureates in physics have used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning. John Hopfield created an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data. Geoffrey Hinton invented a method that can autonomously find properties in data, and so perform tasks such as identifying specific elements in pictures. When we talk about artificial intelligence, we often mean machine learning using artificial neural networks. This technology was originally inspired by the structure of the brain. In an artificial neural network, the brain’s neurons are represented by nodes that have different values. These nodes influence each other through connections that can be likened to synapses and which can be made stronger or weaker. The network is trained, for example by developing stronger connections between nodes with simultaneously high values. This year’s laureates have conducted important work with artificial neural networks from the 1980s onward. John Hopfield invented a network that uses a method for saving and recreating patterns. We can imagine the nodes as pixels. The Hopfield network utilises physics that describes a material’s characteristics due to its atomic spin – a property that makes each atom a tiny magnet. The network as a whole is described in a manner equivalent to the energy in the spin system found in physics, and is trained by finding values for the connections between the nodes so that the saved images have low energy. When the Hopfield network is fed a distorted or incomplete image, it methodically works through the nodes and updates their values so the network’s energy falls. The network thus works stepwise to find the saved image that is most like the imperfect one it was fed with. Geoffrey Hinton used the Hopfield network as the foundation for a new network that uses a different method: the Boltzmann machine. This can learn to recognise characteristic elements in a given type of data. Hinton used tools from statistical physics, the science of systems built from many similar components. The machine is trained by feeding it examples that are very likely to arise when the machine is run. The Boltzmann machine can be used to classify images or create new examples of the type of pattern on which it was trained. Hinton has built upon this work, helping initiate the current explosive development of machine learning.

It is the first international organisation to have a permanent location on the DESY Zeuthen campus. Want to see the opening? Here will be the livestream, 17:00 CET: https://lnkd.in/e7TB8bEv #openingtodiscoveries
