New international research project to make livestock farming more sustainable

Danish expertise is at the forefront of a new pan-European research project to develop sustainable systems for livestock farming in collaboration with local livestock farms.

"If we succeed, we’ll have the first BIC system that is no larger than a grain of dust and with energy consumption that is so small that energy can be harvested directly from the surrounding environment," says Hooman Farkhani, an assistant professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Aarhus University.

"If it turns out that we can actually measure skyrmions with terahertz light, it will be ground-breaking for all computer technology in the future. We’ve set ourselves a huge challenge here, but the goal is really worth it," says Assistant Professor Pernille Klarskov Pedersen, Aarhus University. Photo: AU Foto.

AU researchers to build skyrmion sensor with terahertz technology

A new research project at Aarhus University could be the determining factor for the computer technology of the future. The project aims to develop a sensor that can read so-called skyrmions. These are extremely small magnetic 'tornadoes', which may well be a vital storage medium in the future.

We need more of them. At least if you ask top executives in the wind energy industry. Daryl Plante Montminy from Canada, Lynn Briese from Germany and Mirko Hoekman from Denmark are all engineering students that participated in the Wind Power Summer School 2021. (Photo: Anders Trærup)

New professor on the data surge: It will only get worse

Daniel Lucani Rötter is a new professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Aarhus University. He conducts research into how we can solve some of the internet's biggest Gordian knots.

In a new project, researchers aim to develop technology to enable self-driving cars to share data. This will increase safety on the roads (Photo: Colourbox).
"Self-driving cars must be able to handle situations that only rarely occur in real life. This places considerable demands on artificial intelligence and software development," says Lukas Esterle, assistant professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Aarhus University.

Self-driving cars must be able to communicate with each other

Cars must be able to share knowledge about what is happening on the roads and warn each other about dangerous situations. This will improve road safety in a future with autonomous vehicles, and Independent Research Fund Denmark is investing in technology development.
