Every year, cfaed organizes its Scientific Image Competiton to collect the best visual material from all our labs and research fields. Also in 2024, we received wonderful and stunning images of your daily scientific work – thanks to all who submitted contributions!!!
And now it is your turn! You are invited to rate the submitted pictures and vote for the most beautiful ones! The voting is handled via the platform "Miroboard". Everyone has 3 votes, you either assign all of them with one entry or divide them as you wish. Here you go: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVKt-KZAI=/?share_link_id=836456954086
Please note – voting is only possible until 24.9.2024! Limited functions or visibility may occur on mobile devices.

On August 22, 2024, TUD Dresden University of Technology (TUD) submitted both the full proposals for the three new Cluster of Excellence initiatives called for in February 2024 and the follow-up proposals for continued funding of the three existing Clusters of Excellence to the German Research Foundation (DFG). TUD is thus entering this decisive phase of the competition for millions in funding from the Federal and State governments for Cluster of Excellence research with a total of six full proposals.

The Single Molecule Machines Research Group offers a position as
starting as soon as possible. The position is limited until March 31, 2026 with the option of extension.
What will you do?
The successful candidate will use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) at low and variable temperatures to experimentally study the mechanical and electronic properties of single molecules on a supporting surface. In the frame of the European Pathfinder Open project ESiM (https://esim-project.eu) the successful candidate will investigate intramolecular properties like rotations or conformational changes for future applications in energy storage. On-surface synthesis will be used to obtain new molecular species or to form larger nanostructures by local chemical reactions.
Closing date: August 20, 2024

Public transport systems vary widely around the world. Developed countries in the Global North usually have centrally-planned public transport systems with fixed routes and timetables. In contrast, in the developing countries of the Global South, making up more than 80 % of the world's population, public transportation is mostly provided by informal transport services featuring ad hoc routes, e.g. in the form of privately organized minibus services. Due to their seemingly chaotic operation, such informal transport services are often considered as inefficient from an outside perspective. Due to a lack of data a systematic comparison was not possible so far.
In a new scientific paper recently published in Nature Communications, Kush Mohan Mittal, Marc Timme and Malte Schröder from the Chair of Network Dynamics at TU Dresden analyze and compare the structural efficiency of more than 7,000 formal and informal bus lines across 36 cities and 22 countries. One of the central, surprising findings is that the routes of informal transport self-organize in a way that reaches or even exceeds the efficiency level of centralized services.
