ERC Synergy Grant for PI Jan Korvink
The project “HiSCORE”, which aims at developing a method for high-throughput screening using nuclear method resonance, has been selected for funding by the European Research Council in its Synergy Grant scheme. Principal Investigator Jan Korvink will work on the project alongside Benno Meier (KIT) and partners at École normale supérieure and Radboud University.
Enzyme-Degradeable Photoresist
A new paper published in Advanced Functional Materials, introduces a biocompatible and photocurable resist for scaffold fabrication that can be readily degraded by a certain enzyme. The authors, among them Cluster PIs Eva Blasco, Martin Wegener and Christopher Barner-Kowollik, describe their photoresist as a step towards “enabling 3D tissue constructs to be created to heal patients […]
Inaugural Meeting of Industry Advisory Board
On October 6, 2020, the Cluster’s Industry Advisory Board (IAB) had their inaugural meeting. During the meeting, they elected Kai Keller (Notion Systems) as Chairman and Kenneth Sorensen (Nonpareil Biotechnologies) as Vice Chairman.
New PI in the Cluster: Yolita Eggeler
We warmly welcome Jun.-Prof. Dr. Yolita Eggeler as a new Principal Investigator in Thrust B3 of the Cluster of Excellence 3D Matter Made to Order.
Microstructures for Cell Stress Testing
Researchers of the Cluster 3DMM2O developed a new method to analyze the impact of external forces on singular cells by creating microstuctures using 3D printing to stretch the cells. The scientists were able to observe how different cells counteract or give in to the pressure.
New photoresist enables 3D printing of nanoporous structures
In a paper recently published in the journal Advanced Materials, Cluster researchers describe a newly developed photoresist for 3D laser microprinting that can be used for manufacturing nanoporous polymer microstructures. By tuning the writing parameters, the porosity of the printed material can be controlled.
Nature Communications features publications
Nature Communications recently curated a themed collection showcasing interdisciplinary papers on Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing published in the journal over the past years. The collection includes two papers by Cluster PIs: “Adding chemically selective subtraction to multi-material 3D additive manufacturing” and “Controlling the shape of 3D microstructures by temperature and light”. We congratulate!
Event with ITAS: technik.kontrovers
On July 21 at 6 pm, the ITAS event technik.kontrovers “Zukünfte des 3D-Drucks” will take place online. It will feature talks and a discussion on the present and future as well as the social dimension of 3D printing. The information on how to access the event is available on the website of the ITAS.
Workshop at ZEISS Makerspace @ KIT
On July 27, the first workshop in the new ZEISS Makerspace @ KIT, located in the ZEISS InnovationHub @ KIT on Campus North, will take place. The Makerspace is a place that provides every interested party with the tools to realize their own ideas e.g. 3D printers or a table saw.
New paper in Advanced Materials
A new Cluster paper, published in the journal Advanced Materials, details water erasable microstructures produced by 3D laser printing. The paper features three Principal Investigators of the Cluster as co-authors: Martin Wegener, Christopher Barner-Kowollik and Eva Blasco.
