Jülich researchers have introduced novel memristive components in Nature Communications, offering significant advantages over previous versions. These memristors are more robust, operate within a wider voltage range, and can be used in both analog and digital modes. They could address the issue of 'catastrophic forgetting' in artificial neural networks, where learned information is abruptly lost.

The researchers have implemented the new memristive element in a model of artificial neural networks, achieving high accuracy in pattern recognition. They plan to seek further materials for memristors that may perform even better than the current version.

➀ Many technical applications integrate new and autonomous functions, making them 'smart'. These products operate based on information from the environment and knowledge bases, evaluated through artificial intelligence methods.

➁ The success of such products depends on mastering today's innovation dynamics and increased product complexity from the idea phase through the entire lifecycle.

➂ The Fraunhofer Smart Systems Community supports companies and explores new dimensions for reliable, trustworthy, and secure applications.

➀ The Würzburg University satellite SONATE-2 has successfully completed its one-year mission in space.

➁ The satellite, developed and built over three years by the team of Professor Hakan Kayal, achieved all mission objectives, including the training of artificial intelligence on board.

➂ SONATE-2 demonstrated the ability to autonomously recognize and photograph anomalies on the Earth's surface, such as the Nile and its surrounding green region.

➀ The Technical University of Darmstadt has introduced a state-of-the-art humanoid robot, TALOS, to its research portfolio, marking the launch of the new Laboratory for Humanoid Robotics.

➁ TALOS, from Pal Robotics, is a versatile robot capable of handling heavy objects, climbing stairs, and interacting with humans and mechanical colleagues.

➂ The robot is equipped with advanced sensors and computing power, including an AI accelerator, to perform complex tasks and movements.

Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut (HHI) has initiated the SUSTAINET project, a €30 million research effort to develop sustainable and resilient network technologies. The project, running from January 2025 to December 2027, aims to integrate fiber optics, radio, and mobile networks to improve network availability and sustainability. It is divided into three sub-projects focusing on advanced technologies, intelligent solutions, and sustainable network architectures.

➀ DeepSeek's new model Janus-Pro-7B was quietly released on New Year's Eve.

➁ The release caused a significant drop in Nvidia's stock price and affected other major chip stocks.

➂ DeepSeek's cost-effective strategy has raised concerns about the investment returns of large tech companies in AI development.
