Wie sich bewegliche Algen und andere „Mikroschwimmer“ in Flüssigkeiten fortbewegen, haben Experimentalphysiker der Universität des Saarlandes gemeinsam mit Dresdner Kollegen untersucht: Sie setzten Grünalgen der Gattung Chlamydomonas einer Gegenströmung aus und erfassten die Bewegungen ihrer Geißeln mittels eines hochauflösenden Tracking-Verfahrens. Hieraus wurde ein Rechenmodell abgeleitet, das exakt vorhersagt, wie sich der „Motor“ der Winzlinge unter Belastung verhält. Die Ergebnisse könnten dazu beitragen zu verstehen, wie sich künstliche Mikroroboter beispielsweise im menschlichen Organismus künftig einmal fortbewegen könnten. Die Arbeit wurde in der Zeitschrift Physical Review Letters veröffentlicht.

As last year, two cfaed scientists at TU Dresden have been recognized a Highly Cited Researcher 2016 by the Thomson Reuters media corporation. Prof. Xinliang Feng (cfaed Chair for Molecular Functional Materials) reached the title in two scientific areas: materials science and chemistry. Prof. Karl Leo (Institute of Applied Photophysics, IAPP) was successful in the area of materials science.The prestigious title 'Highly Cited Researchers 2016' represents some of world’s most influential scientific minds. About three thousand researchers earned this distinction by writing the greatest number of reports officially designated by Essential Science Indicators as Highly Cited Papers — ranking among the top 1% most cited for their subject field and year of publication, earning them the mark of exceptional impact.

Das Dresden Center for Nanoanalysis (DCN) hat ein dreijähriges Projekt zur Erforschung von eindimensionalen Nanodrähten, das vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) mit rund 3,2 Millionen Euro gefördert wurde, erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Die Ergebnisse aus „MaKiZu (Materialintegration und Kinetik von zuverlässigkeitslimitierenden Degradationsmechanismen in 1D-Elektronik-Systemen / Material Integration and kinetics of reliability degradation mechanisms limiting in 1D electronic systems) tragen wesentlich zu den wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen des Forschungspfades „Silicon Nanowire“ des Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) der Technischen Universität (TU) Dresden bei. Die drei Projektmitarbeiter, darunter ein „Post-Doc“, ein Doktorand und ein Techniker, wurden bei den Forschungsarbeiten wirkungsvoll von dem Team des cfaed sowie des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Keramische Technologien und Systeme Dresden (IKTS) unterstützt.

On November 29, Professor Subhasish Mitra holds his Lecture "Transforming Nanodevices into Nanosystems: The N3XT 1,000X" at TU Dresden. The talk will take place within cfaed's "Distinguished Lecture Series" which invites top tier guests to come to Dresden.
Professor Subhasish Mitra directs the Robust Systems Group in the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Computer Science of Stanford University, where he is the Chambers Faculty Scholar of Engineering. Before joining Stanford, he was a Principal Engineer at Intel.
Prof. Mitra's research interests include robust systems, VLSI design, CAD, validation and test, nanosystems, and neurosciences. His X-Compact technique for test compression has been key to cost-effective manufacturing and high-quality testing of a vast majority of electronic systems, including numerous Intel products. X-Compact and its derivatives have been implemented in widely-used commercial Electronic Design Automation tools. He, jointly with his students and collaborators, demonstrated the first carbon nanotube computer, and it was featured on the cover of NATURE. The US NSF presented this work as a Research Highlight to the US Congress, and it also was highlighted as "an important, scientific breakthrough" by the BBC, Economist, EE Times, IEEE Spectrum, MIT Technology Review, National Public Radio, New York Times, Scientific American, Time, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and numerous others worldwide.
