Scientists from the fields of geology, chemistry and physics are working on how established methods of earthquake research can be reduced from the kilometer scale to nanometer dimensions and how cells, for example, can be mapped directly in 3D in the future.
The aim of the project is to 3D print microrobots made of different materials with a level of detail precision in the nanometer range. By combining different materials, the microrobots can take on a variety of functions.
Prof. Dr. Tanja Maritzen has been appointed as an Endowed Professor of Nanophysiology - High Resolution Subcellular Pattern Formation at TU Kaiserslautern.
Protein sequencing promises to significantly advance research and medicine, but is expensive and time-consuming. Simultaneous measurement of electrical signals and fluorescence should enable rapid, cost-effective protein sequencing.
Only 41% of people with hearing loss use a hearing aid. NeuroSensEar aims to improve the acceptance of and provision with hearing aids by increasing performance. To this end, bio-inspired sensor technology is combined with sound analysis.
The interdisciplinary NEOSPEK project team is researching how an assistance system consisting of cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence can support surgeons during operations.
"Noble Talks" is a public lecture series at the Beutenberg Campus in Jena. Internationally renowned scientists, including Nobel Prize winners, present current topics from science and technology twice a year.
The project aims to develop a sensor box to check the quality of sleep, which should replace time-consuming examinations in the laboratory. The box is placed under the mattress at home; there is no need for camera monitoring or wiring.
Prof. Dr. Dirk Koch has been appointed to the professorship for Novel Computing Technologies at Heidelberg University starting April 2022. He previously conducted research at the University of Manchester, UK.
Ceramic solar cells are intended to bring together the advantages of different technologies: The printability of organic solar cells, the ferroelectricity of lead halide perovskite and the long-term stability of crystalline solar cells.
