Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung funds research on complex organ models
With six million euros in funding from the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung, researchers at the Heidelberg University are developing innovative approaches for the engineering of complex organoid models. The interdisciplinary project, which includes Principal Investigators Christine Selhuber-Unkel, Wolfram Pernice, Joachim Wittbordt, Michael Boutros and Peer Fischer, aims to create advanced organ-on-a-chip systems for studying multi-organ interactions, enabling precise […]
Exploring the unique behavior of elastic metamaterials
Cluster scientists, including Postdoctoral Researcher Yi Chen, Doctoral Researchers Jonathan L. G. Schneider, Ke Wang and Sebastian Kalt, and Principal Investigator Martin Wegener, have studied the fascinating properties of frozen evanescent waves in elastic metamaterials. Their findings show how these waves enable unique material responses and challenge Saint Venant’s principle, suggesting forces can have long-range […]
Exciting Innovation in 3D Printing for Particle Physics
Cluster researchers, including Doctoral Researchers Jannis Weinacker and Sebastian Kalt, Principal Investigator Martin Wegener, and Alumnus Maximilian Bojanowski, have developed the first two-photon 3D-printable plastic scintillator. This innovation enables micrometer precision and optical-grade surfaces, as demonstrated in the KATRIN experiment. While the light yield is below that of commercial scintillators, it provides the basis for […]
