📜Our shared history of transatlantic science cooperation could give us lessons how we make it last for the future. We're looking forward to the Transatlantic Big Science Conference end of June. Find out more ➡️buff.ly/4bWSNsL @helmholtz

Kick-off for Startup Factory Hamburg: DESY is entering the next round of the nationwide “Startup Factories” flagship competition by @BMWK together with Universität Hamburg and TUHamburg 💪 . More info: buff.ly/3Vush4O

Is there more water in the Earth's interior than we thought? A new study shows that minerals might carry more water into the Earth’s deep mantle than previously assumed – and the Extreme Conditions Beamline at DESY's PETRA III played a key role.

Did you know that nobody knows how much water is contained in the Earth’s mantle and core, but it has a direct effect of life on Earth through heat, deformation, seismic activity and more?! --> buff.ly/4bIcl4J #geology #lightsource #H2O

In one month, Carnegie Science, DESY and @helmholtz will bring leading minds together to find new ways to strengthen transatlantic science cooperation.

New technique paves way for improving and accelerating photon science experiments: researchers from the University of Zurich UZH have used convolutional neural networks #CNN to effectively filter noise from detector images and hence make scattering signals visible that would otherwise be virtually invisible. desy.de/news/news_search/index

Successful, passionate and curious about the unknown: female DESY researchers are inspiring role models - also when it comes to choosing a career! For the Intl Day of #WomeninScience (11/2), we are pleased to present some of them to you - from PhD student to director.

A woman stands and looks confidently into the camera. Her name is Ami Rostomyan and her statement is: “If you know what you want to do, don’t let anyone discourage you! Use the challenges to fuel your curiosity! With each step on your way, you shape the future.”A woman in a hard hat stands among a metal structure. Her name is Emma de Oña Wilhelmi and she says “Surround yourself with strong women - to befriend, to learn from, to collaborate with, to support, to be inspired by…and to explore the universe together!”Two women speak with each other in a laboratory. The woman on the left is Francesca Calegari, and she says, “The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to my role model and colleague Anne L’Huillier, the 5th woman to receive it. We are getting closer to thinking that people like Anne are great scientists - not great female scientists.”

An int’l team using the European XFEL that included DESY scientists has found that #diamondrain on icy planets is more common and has an effect on their magnetic fields. DESY technologies in X-ray science and detectors were important for this result, provided via the EuXFEL user consortium HIBEF, which is led by @HZDR. The research team was led by @stanford SLAC scientist Mungo Frost. desy.de/news/news_search/index

The graphic illustrates the phenomenon of diamond rain within the planet, wherein diamonds descend through surrounding ice. As these diamonds journey deeper into the planet, both pressure and temperature steadily increase. (Image: European XFEL / Tobias Wüstefeld)

@JensJot Hey, protein traffic is really terrible sometimes. Credit goes to Uni Hamburg researcher (and author on the paper) Ferdinand Otto.

New year, new research results: researchers from DESY and Universität Hamburg have found that medically relevant #gold #nanoparticles move faster than expected through crowded liquid biological matter. More information: desy.de/news/news_search/index

Original journal article: doi.org/10.1002/agt2.483

To illustrate the type of environments in which gold nanoparticles can be used, the nanoparticles approach densely packed regions of proteins (shown with a sign saying “slow down”).
