Researchers from TU Dresden introduce a new path towards superior organic thermoelectric devices: highly efficient modulation doping of highly ordered organic semiconductors under high doping concentrations. The results have now been published in the renowned journal “Science Advances”.

Farewell and Goodbye: Dr. Marco Zimmerling Accepts Call from University of Freiburg

Published on Thu, 31 Mar 2022 in NEWS

This is one of these moments full of mixed emotions for us at cfaed: Promoting and supporting young scientists at an early career stage is one of our core activities. Doing this successfully also means experiencing moments like these when highly valued colleagues leave to take the next step of the ladder… Now, here we are again: Our group leader Dr. Marco Zimmerling is leaving us on April 1 to accept a call from University of Freiburg! This of course is fantastic news, and we congratulate Marco from the bottom of our hearts on this great step! And yet, it is also sad news when an era ends and we have to let go of a very valued member of our team. Luckily, it is not a complete goodbye.

Exzellente Hochschulforschung für Trendthemen der Mikroelektronik

Presseinformation des Verbundes Forschungslabore Mikroelektronik Deutschland (ForLab)

Published on Tue, 29 Mar 2022 in PRESS RELEASES

Die Forschungslabore Mikroelektronik Deutschland (ForLab) stellen Ergebnisse der Spitzenforschung in digitaler Fachtagung vom 29. bis 30. März 2022 vor
Deutschlandweite ForLab-Partner arbeiten z.B. an neuromorphen Systemen, hochgradig miniaturisierten MedTech-Chips und magnetischen Sensoren für Automatisierungstechnik
Kompetenzatlas macht verfügbare Anlagen auch für Industriepartner sichtbar
Konsortialsprecher Prof. Thomas Mikolajick: „Modernste Ausrüstung bietet ideale Bedingungen für Nachwuchsforscher“

Die deutsche Hochschullandschaft ist gut (aus-)gerüstet. Im Rahmen des Verbundprojekts Forschungslabore Mikroelektronik Deutschland (ForLab) haben 14 deutsche Universitäten modernste Anlagen und Geräte für die Mikroelektronik-Forschung erhalten. Seit 2019 werden die ForLabs durch das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung mit 50 Millionen Euro gefördert und bilden die universitäre Ergänzung zum Vorhaben Forschungsfabrik Mikroelektronik Deutschland (FMD), das ebenfalls vom Bund gefördert wird und außeruniversitären Forschungseinrichtungen der Fraunhofer Gesellschaft und der Leibniz Gemeinschaft zugutekommt.

German team recruits from TU Dresden and IPF

When they hear the term "24-hour race," many people might think of Le Mans, Daytona, or even the Nürburgring. Images of colorful cars racing by at breakneck speed, accompanied by deafening noise and the smell of burning high-performance fuels may appear in the mind's eye. But at the NanoCar Race everything is different! And in the middle of it all is a team from TU Dresden and IPF Dresden.

2nd international NanoCar Race - German team from TU Dresden and IPF

Published on Thu, 17 Mar 2022 in NEWS

In March 2022, the international "NanoCar Race" will take place for the second time. A science event of a special kind: Eight teams from three continents will compete to 'speed' their self-developed molecular racing cars over a surface of gold for 24 hours. The size of the race cars: a few nanometers, 50 to 200 atoms. The length of the race track: around 200 nanometers. The venue: Toulouse, but strictly speaking, only the drivers sit there, while the 'racetracks' are in eight different remote laboratories around the world - including the only German one at TU Dresden.
