Let's create a massive cavity

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has taken a significant step forward in the world of scientific research. After a rigorous selection process involving over a hundred experts, nine research infrastructure projects have been chosen for potential support. These projects, which range from terahertz and X-ray sources to neutrino detectors and an underground observatory, aim to push the boundaries of scientific understanding.

One of the selected projects involves preliminary work for the "Einstein Telescope," an underground observatory. This project, along with two neutrino detectors, is expected to make groundbreaking contributions to the field of astronomy.

The selection process, known as "fis," carefully sifted through 32 proposals to find the most promising projects. This process generally involves expert committees or commissions including university researchers and members from research organizations such as the DFG Senate. However, the exact committee members for the selection of these nine projects are not explicitly named in the available sources.

The "Einstein Telescope" is one of the projects on the list for potential support. This massive telescope, when completed, will be one of the most powerful instruments for observing the universe's most distant objects.

It's important to note that scientific discoveries cannot be ordered on demand but can be made possible with specialized large equipment. These selected projects are a testament to the BMBF's commitment to investing in the future of research and development.

In other news, the FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) has announced a temporary reduction in the cost of accessing all FAZ+ articles. Originally priced at 12.80 €, the price has been reduced to 0.99 €. This offer is currently available, providing readers with a unique opportunity to delve into a wealth of news and articles. Additionally, the option to cancel a subscription with one click is available for FAZ, ensuring flexibility for its subscribers.

The prioritization and selection of these research infrastructure projects mark a significant milestone in the world of science. As these projects move forward, we can expect to see exciting discoveries and advancements in various scientific fields. Stay tuned for updates on these groundbreaking projects and the discoveries they are expected to bring.
