New Professorship for Principal Investigator
On October 1, Principal Investigator Jasmin Aghassi was appointed to the W3 professorship “Electronic devices and systems in future technologies” at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (ETIT). In the framework of this new professorship, she will conduct interdisciplinary research into future electronic technology that combines additively manufactured electronic components and silicon systems.
Women in Science: New Video
A new video in the Cluster’s Women in Science series was recently published. In it, Principal Investigator Kerstin Göpfrich talks about her research focus on synthetic cells, how she perceives herself as a Woman in Science and gives advice to young researchers just starting their scientific career.
New Material for 3D Printing
A new publication by Cluster Young Scientist Zheqin Dong (first author) as well as Principal Investigator Pavel Levkin and other members of his group presents a new materials concept for 3D printing of complex-shaped objects with bulk superhydrophobicity, a property that is desirable for a broad range of applications such as anti-wetting materials for engineering […]
Women in Science: New Videos
In two new Women in Science videos, Young Scientists Svenja de Buhr and Saskia Braun detail their scientific journey. In the video featuring Svenja de Buhr, she talks about how she changed her focus from medical to basic research. In the video featuring Saskia Braun, she explains what fascinates her about her research and how […]
New Molecule Sensor Utilising SURMOFs
Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Technical University of Darmstadt, including Principal Investigators Wolfgang Wenzel and Christof Wöll, present a novel sensor for gas molecules. Combining a graphene transistor with a customized metal-organic coating (SURMOF), the sensor detects molecules selectively and accurately. SURMOFs are a focus of Thrust A2.
Explain Like I’m Five: New Videos
Two new videos have been released in the Explain Like I’m Five series. In the first one, Saskia Braun explains her research into new materials for 3D Printing and the role chemistry plays for the specific type of 3D Printing she uses. The second video features Johannes Scheiger and Mariia Kuzina as they provide an […]
Fish Eyes From a Petri Dish
A better understanding of retinal development is key to the goal of Research Thrust C3: creating a re-designed retina using 3D Bioprinting. In a new paper published in eLife, first author Cluster Young Scientist Dr. Lucie Zilova and other members of the group of Principal Investigator Joachim Wittbrodt demonstrate cultivation of complex retinal tissue from […]
New Video Format: Explain Like I’m Five
A new video format by the Cluster 3DMM2O aims to make complex scientific topics and questions more approachable. In the Explain Like I’m Five video series, Cluster Young Scientists use simplified explanations and visualizations to explain their research. The series starts with a contribution by Svenja de Buhron how cells maintain their shape and how […]
Targeted control of molecular layer properties
A team of researchers that included several Cluster Young Scientists as well as Principal Investigators Carsten Rockstuhl, Wolfgang Wenzel, Stefan Bräse, Petra Tegeder and Christof Wöll has developed a new programmed assembly strategy based on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) that allows for electric fields to be integrated into crystalline, porous thin films. Their research was published in the journal […]
