  International Conference on Machine Learning 2019

  

  TU the only university from Germany among the Top 50 contributing universities

  Machine learning experts from around the world will gather at the 36th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) to present the latest advances in machine learning understanding. The International Conference on Machine Learning is one of the most prestigious conferences for peer-reviewed research in Machine Learning, alongside NeurIPS, ICLR and others. And ICML is of the most relevant to Deep Learning (DL), although NeurIPS has a longer DL tradition and ICLR, being more focused, has a higher DL density. go

  Nuclear “magic numbers” collapse beyond the doubly magic Nickel 78

  

  New Publication in “Nature” / Scientists of TU Darmstadt involved

  Scientists from the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Research in Japan and an international collaboration network with a strong participation of scientists from Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany), the University of Tokyo and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, have used the center’s heavy ion accelerator, the RI Beam Factory, to demonstrate that nickel 78, a neutron-rich “doubly magic” isotope of nickel with 28 protons and 50 neutrons, still maintains a spherical shape that allows it to be relatively stable despite the large imbalance in the number of protons and neutrons. go
