author: Mara Krause, 30.05.2026 What if an illness doesn’t have to determine what you can do and what you can’t? What if the connection of humans and technology does not just seem scary but can actually improve many lives? In June 2025, a group published the paper „An instantaneous voice-synthesis neuroprosthesis“. While this title might […]

author: Mara Krause, 08.04.2026 Most countries have solar cells as a sustainable energy source. You can see them on houses or on wide fields, mostly in sunny areas as they convert sunlight into electricity. But what surprised me is that they actually convert not even a third of the sunlight energy. We haven’t really figured

author: Mara Krause, 20.10.2025 Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is a method to achieve nuclear fusion by compressing and heating fuel with high-intensity laser. (click here for my article about petawatt laser) Nuclear fusion is the opposite of nuclear fission where heavy nuclei split into lighter ones. Nuclear fission provides about 9-10% of global power from

author: Mara Krause, 15.08.2025 Fundamental laws governing ordinary matter appear well-established. Equations and laws determine or describe the behaviour of individual particles, like the Schrödinger Equation, exploring the deepest structures of matter. However, the fundamental laws cannot predict why materials conduct electricity without resistance, magnets form, copper oxides superconduct at unexpectedly high temperatures. This tension

author: Mara Krause, 21.01.2026 What is a petawatt laser? A petawatt laser is a high-intensity laser which generates peak powers of quadrillion (10^15) watts (petawatts). They typically produce laser pulses that are extremely short, lasting only a few femtoseconds. Petawatt laser use the CPA technique to perform at these high energies. They proofed to be
author: Mara Krause, 20.10.2025 Eine der größten Fragen der Menschen war schon immer, was das Bewusstsein ist. Warum können wir Entscheidungen treffen, etwas fühlen und denken? Das Bewusstsein faszinierte die Menschen schon immer und doch hat die Wissenschaft noch keine genaue Erklärung für dieses Phänomen. Viele Menschen gehen davon aus, dass bewusstes Denken nicht einfach
