In fall 2016, we carried out our first Cluster-wide Scientific Image Contest. We received around 60 images from 22 different researchers or teams. Not bad for the first time, again: thank you very much for taking part in! At the General Assembly in December Prof. Fettweis revealed the winners and handed over the awards. Now we are happy to present the winning pictures on our website and in the social channels!
Congratulations to the winners of the cfaed Scientific Image Competition!

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.
