SFB1491 - Cosmic Interacting Matters

🚀 New Breakthrough in Turbulence Research! 🌪️  We are thrilled to share that Rainer Grauer, a scientist from the #SFB1491, along with his colleagues Sumeja Bureković and Tobias Schäfer, have developed an innovative mathematical approach to describe turbulence—a problem that has fascinated physicists for centuries. Their groundbreaking work tackles one of the most complex aspects of turbulence: intermittency, the irregular fluctuations that defy conventional models like the Gaussian distribution. The team introduces a novel method using instantons, which represent turbulence probabilities as a spatio-temporal path integral. This approach is the first to provide a way to describe and calculate isolated and localized fluctuations, a critical step in addressing one of the longstanding open questions in classical physics. This research not only advances our understanding of turbulence in astrophysical contexts, but could also have profound implications for fields ranging from fluid dynamics to climate modeling and beyond. 🌍🌬️ Congrats to the team for pushing the boundaries of physics and bringing us closer to solving one of the most persistent mysteries in classical physics! 🔗This significant research was recently published in the prestigious Physical Review Letters: https://lnkd.in/g-DMGufn  #Turbulence #MathematicalPhysics #Intermittency #Innovation #ScienceNews #Research #FluidDynamics #PhysicalReviewLetters 

#SFB1491 science @ #COSMO24! 🌏✨  Every year, experts in cosmology, particle physics, and astrophysics come together at the COSMO conference to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in understanding the universe. This year, this meeting took place in October in Kyoto. Our scientists Shiyang Zhang, Athy Aravinthan, Janning Meinert, and Eray Genc presented their research through posters, sparking insightful discussions and collaboration. Meetings like these are invaluable for exchanging ideas with other scientists, sharing one's own research discoveries and discussing the latest findings - and by that helping to unravel another piece of the puzzle of cosmic mysteries! #astrophysics #cosmology #darkmatter #cosmicrays #kyoto 

Our scientists Hendrik Hildebrandt and Anna Wittje are part of the Physics of the Accelerating Universe Survey (PAU) which will help to unravel the mysteries Dark Matter and Dark Energy. #sfb1491 #astronomy #darkenergy #darkmatter #pau

🌃 Last Saturday, we were part of the "Long Night of Astronomy" - activities all over Germany. 🔭 🌟 About 300 astronomy enthusiasts came to the Ruhr-University Bochum to explore with us and our amateur astronomer colleagues from Ad Astra the wonders of the night sky:  ☄ watch comet Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS),  🌕 investigate Saturn and the moon with optical telescopes,  📡 and make first observations with the radio telescope of the new Campus Observatory. It was a great fun to share our enthusiasm about astronomy with so many people!

Next Saturday, 19.10.2024, the “Long Night of Astronomy” will take place all over Germany. At our Campus Observatory for the Ruhr University Bochum, there will be lots of fun with comets, planets and solar observations! Meeting point is the Audimax of the RUB at 5 pm. The event will last until 10 pm. Please check this webpage for more information: https://lnkd.in/eta7SbwC Important: The observations only take place in good weather. We are looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
