On the 26th of April, cfaed was part of the nationwide action day “Girls’ Day” and welcomed 13 participants between the ages of 10 and 13 (grades 5-7). The girls came from Dresden, the surrounding area of Dresden but also the long way from Görlitz! In terms of content, we demonstrated the whole range of cfaed, from basic research to applications, on the basis of such well experiencable examples as "The World of Colors" by Eleonore-Trefftz Visiting Professor Dr. Selina Olthof (Physics) and cfaed PhD student Luisa Sonntag (Chemistry), or with the lecture of doctoral student Nick Schwarzenberg (electrical engineering) "What's in the iPhone?".

Press release from TU Dresden (B CUBE - Center for Molecular Bioengineering) and Julius-Maximilians-Universität WürzburgPhysicists from Dresden and Würzburg have developed a novel method for optical microscopy. Using biological motors and single quantum dots, they acquire ultra-high-resolution images.
The resolution of conventional optical microscopy is limited by the fundamental physical principle of diffraction to about one half of the wavelength of the light: If the distance between two objects is smaller than this so-called "diffraction limit", they can no longer be visually separated - their image appears "blurred ". To acquire optical images at the scale of few nanometers, this is clearly not sufficient.

TU Dresden launches the new six-week trial program TryING for young women who have a high school diploma and are interested in a career in engineering. In different workshops and at research stations, the participants will learn what the engineering studies at the TU Dresden include and can then find out which engineering discipline suits them best. Moreover, the company excursions will provide practical insights into later professional life and show how varied the day-to-day work of an engineer is.
With TryING, the participants can start their studies at the TU Dresden well prepared for the winter semester as they will have already completed a part of the preliminary courses. The cfaed strongly supports this new offer of the TU Dresden and sponsors up to five scholarships. Please contact Dr. Sylvi Bianchin or Daniel Knöfel in this regard.

On 10 April 2018, cfaed’s second CAREER SYMPOSIUM took place and resulted in interactive bonding sessions, interesting career talks by professionals from in and outside academia as well as individual interviews with company representatives. More than 95 Master’s students, PhD students and Postdocs with an educational background in physics, chemistry, material science, computer science and electrical engineering took the opportunity to listen to diverse career stories of cfaed alumni and senior managers.
“With this event, we implemented a new format which was made available to international MINT students and postdocs. Other than at the typical bonding fairs, the participants were able to get in contact with each other, meet at individual interview areas, ask questions they would never ask in job interviews and do some networking with their scientific community,” says Karl Leo, cfaed’s Career Development Director.
