Mark Ham wowed the world with this picture. But then someone wowed me even more by pointing out that the moon always has the same phase when it's in a rainbow! (1/2)

And my #HEP-ML group at @mbi-oeaw.bsky.social is already training models on it! #hpc #scientificAI

What happened to @arxiv.bsky.social today? Is everyone already on vacation? Or took a day off due to the heat? #AskAcademia #arxiv #HEP

🤗 Today, Tuesday at 22:45 on ZDF (TerraX with Harald Lesch, in German language only), there will be a contribution on dark matter and LNGS. Our Groupleader Florian Reindl will talk about COSINUS. 👀 A slightly longer version is also available online in the ZDF mediathek: lnkd.in/dunejWaQ

I'm watching my students slowly lose the ability to think, one AI prompt at a time. Not through cheating. Through doing everything right. So I tried something maybe unusual: I wrote a novella about it. Or rather, Claude wrote it, and that's my point. Give it a chance at glouppe.github.io/atrophy

Am I the only one who dreads emails titled “Next WP1 meeting” or documents called “WP3 status report”? Dude, I’m involved, by a toe or my whole body, in half a dozen projects from which it could come from!

1/ New paper accepted at IGARSS2026: We show how machine learning can extract surface properties of planets like Mars from radar echoes. We replace previously relied upon simplified approaches by a fully uncertainty-aware, probabilistic inference procedure.

youtu.be/iwEftGaQFls In diesem Video besucht @FÄKT unseren Gruppenleiter Thomas Bergauer. Er forscht mit Daten vom CERN und entwickelt die Detektoren, die das Unsichtbare messbar machen. Dieselbe Technologie hilft heute dabei, Krebs präziser zu behandeln als je zuvor. 👀Seht selbst!

My first blog post in over a year is a deep dive on flow maps🗺️, or how to learn the integral of a diffusion model to enable faster sampling and several other cool tricks. It's the longest one yet👀 Let me know what you think! sander.ai/2026/05/06/f...

I'm very excited about this new paper, which kicks of our LEGO ERC project we started earlier this year towards general-purpose AI surrogates for simulating radiation-matter interaction. Instead of training AI surrogates for specific detectors or material distribution ...

Ep3 of the Science Counterpunch is now live! This week we chat to @cdelawalla.bsky.social the founder and CEO of @standupforscience.bsky.social and ask: what are the pros and cons of scientists becoming more politically engaged? Check out the full discussion! Link: youtube.com/watch?v=KDTt... 🧪⚛️

This week on the Science Counterpunch Podcast we were joined by YouTube heavyweight Dave "Professor Dave Explains" Farina. He wants scientists to take off the kid gloves and hit back hard against grifters and pseudoscientists. Full discussion: youtube.com/watch?v=F2fh... ⚛️🧪

arxiv.org/abs/2601.02484 Yes, it's that Schwartz -- QFT textbook author -- writing a paper wherein "All calculations, numerical analysis, and manuscript preparation were performed by Claude, an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, working under physicist supervision."

Dear Journal editors sending a request to review a paper on Dec 26, a reminder on Dec 28, and a second one (called "final reminder") on Jan 2: don't. #AcademicChat

Wissenschaftsstar MaiThi Nguyen-Kim @maithinkx.bsky.social kommt an die ÖAW 🎉 Das ist nur eines der Highlights, die euch 2026 erwarten. Freut euch außerdem auf einen Vortrag von Thomas Zurbuchen, ehemals NASA-Chef von 2016 bis 2022. Alle Highlights ⤵️ www.oeaw.ac.at/news/wissens...

I have been in AI for science for 10+ years now. Real benefits, real impact. But 'AI' feels like a bad word now, with the media running 10:1 negative. Yet almost everyone around me uses LLMs daily. Honestly lost.

We are extremely delighted to announce the kickoff school for our COST Action EPIGRAPHY in Lisbon, from Jan 12-15. While in-person invitations have gone out to EPIGRAPHY members, a public Zoom link will be provided to follow the talks & tutorials online: https:// indico.cern.ch/event/1608897/
