Topic JUPITER: One for all
Europe’s first exascale computer is set to be launched at Jülich, JUPITER. The versatile supercomputer will be one of the world’s most powerful AI machines and opens up new possibilities for simulating complex systems.

Power Duos
Jülich researchers are combining quantum computers with supercomputers. Such hybrid systems are intended to unite the advantages of both worlds and crack previously unsolvable scientific puzzles.
Where water is becoming scarce
Years of extreme drought and aridity are becoming more frequent. Jülich researchers have investigated at a regional level where water will become scarce in future.
A transparent multilingual talent
Since the end of 2024, the German AI language model Teuken-7B has been available to anyone interested from science and industry. Stefan Kesselheim and Andreas Herten from the Jülich Supercomputing Centre helped to develop Teuken-7B. Here they explain what distinguishes the multilingual open-source model from commercial products such as ChatGPT.
More equal opportunities
Why does science lose so many talented women along the path to leadership positions? This is a question that junior professor Irene Vercellino has sought to get to the bottom of alongside her structural biology research.
When cancer cells destroy themselves
A new RNA technology might enable brain tumours to be eliminated without harming healthy cells. In studies on mice, the technology caused glioblastoma cancer cells to destroy themselves. The same principle could be used to help fight viruses.
Green fuel for ships and trucks
It is the “Innovator of the Year” for 2024: the DeCarTrans project aims to improve the production of climate-friendly e-fuel from methanol. .

As we see it
The new showpiece on the Jülich campus is bright and colourful. The test stand will be used to develop more efficient and cost-effective electrolyzers for hydrogen production. The most important colour shimmers in the background: green. After all, the hydrogen in question is also green. Green means that it is generated using electricity from renewable sources only. The electrolyzers being tested are particularly suited to this task thanks to a special polymer membrane. What makes the project unique is that the electrolyzers in the test stand do not run on a laboratory scale but on an industrial scale. The facility is part of the DERIEL project, which is part of the national H2Giga flagship project.
