Laser Printed Microelectronics
A new Cluster publication on laser printed microelectronics resulted from the strong collaboration between Heidelberg University and KIT. The paper by first author Young Scientist Liang Yang introduces laser printing with three different inks (zink oxide, platinum and silver) as a facile process for fabricating printed functional electronic devices with minimum feature sizes below 1 µm. The […]
Monsur Islam awarded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship
Cluster Young Scientist Monsur Islam has been awarded the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship for his project on 3D Printing of pyrolytic and graphitic Carbon. The project will be hosted at the IMDEA Materials Institute in Madrid, Spain. The Fellowship targets researchers holding a PhD who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, […]
Instagram Channel launched
The Cluster 3DMM2O is now also present on Instagram! With Instagram we try to reach a younger audience interested in our research with different formats. Following an edutainment approach, we will explain interesting topics surrounding additive manufacturing and give vivid insights into our work. To allow a more personal approach and connection to our Cluster, a […]
Creating 3D Objects with Sound
A new Cluster publication resulted from a collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research demonstrates how holographic sound fields enable rapid prototyping of matter in 3D. PI Peer Fischer is one of the authors who succeeded in the one-step assembly of matter using acoustic forces. In theirpaper published in Science Advancesthey combine multiple holographic sound […]
The 3DMM2O Cluster Conference: Counting the Days
The third 3DMM2O Conference – Future 3D Additive Manufacturing starts soon! The conference on the topic 3D Molecular Systems takes place at Schöntal Monastery near Heilbronn from March 12 to 16. It aims at linking Molecular Materials with 3D Hybrid Organotypic Systems. International experts in the fields of materials, molecular self-assembly, and (bio)nanomaterials design and characterization will […]
Permanent Exhibition at IMSEAM
The Cluster of Excellence 3DMM2O has a permanent exhibition at the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials. The exhibition was officially opened on February 2 with a vernissage for invited guests. It is composed of different stations with various exhibits. Visitors are able to explore 3D printed nanostructures as well as pictures and canvases with […]
Christine Selhuber-Unkel elected into acatech
Cluster PI and Executive Board Deputy Christine Selhuber-Unkel has been appointed scientific member of the National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech). She was elected into the Academy at the General Assembly based on the strength of her research accomplishments and reputation. Acatech members bring their scientific expertise to bear in advising policy makers and society.
Eva Blasco appointed W3 Professor at Heidelberg University
Cluster Principal Investigator Eva Blasco was recently appointed W3 professor by the Heidelberg University. The research of her lab at the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials is located at the interface of organic chemistry, material sciences and optics with a focus on the development of new polymer-based functional materials with application in […]
Promising Alternatives to Two-Photon Absorption
In a new Cluster collaboration, first author Young Scientist Vincent Hahn reviews three promising alternatives to Two-Photon Absorption: Upconversion Luminescence, Two-Step Absorption and Triplet–Triplet Annihilation. All of those emerging excitation processes the authors termed “(1+1)-Photon Absorption” allow the use of continuous-wave lasers at much lower peak laser powers and at much lower cost than those typical for Two-Photon Absorption. […]
