Publication on Gear-Based Metamaterials

In a new paper published in Nature Materials, researchers including PI Peter Gumbsch show their research on metamaterials that can fully reconfigure their meta-atoms in a wide range, allowing direct access to anisotropies of different types. The approach is based on connecting classical gears, with the gear-based metamaterials providing excellent properties. This allows for metamaterial […]

Women in Science: New Video

A new episode in the Women in Science video series was recently published. In it, Principal Investigator Yolita Eggeler talks about her research in the fiel of electron microscopy, how it relates to the development of new materials and how she got into science.

Daniela Duarte Campos receives BMBF Grant

Principal Investigator Daniela Duarte Campos has been awarded a grant by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for the project “BlindZero” which focuses on irreversible diseases of the human cornea. The projects investigates innovative hydrogels to produce corneas directly on the patient’s eye using 3D bioprinting. The “NanoMatFutur” competition supports junior researchers in pursuing ambitious project ideas through innovative research approaches […]

Girls’ Day Participation

April 28 marks Girls’ Day, an opportunity for girls to explore technical careers and study courses. Like last year, the Cluster 3DMM2O offers several workshops for girls interested in a STEM career. The four offers, two at KIT and two at Uni HD, explore the topics3D printing food,3D printing for medical research,realizing product ideas with 3D printing, andconstructing […]
