Sensitive drills
01/12/2022
Hearing-impaired people whose auditory nerve is still intact can often be helped with a cochlear implant. But inserting the implant into the inner ear is not without risks, as facial nerves can be damaged in the process. Empa researchers have developed a novel smart drill that minimizes the risk by automatically shutting off when it comes near nerves.

Bioreactor keeps cell culture conditions under control
29/11/2022
A cell-culturing technique developed by KAUST scientists helps to create biological conditions that more closely mirror physiological environments compared to standard protocols used in most laboratories today.

A nanoscale view of bubble formation: A new model now describes the boiling process with much greater precision
24/11/2022
When a liquid boils in a vessel, tiny vapor bubbles form at the bottom and rise, transferring heat in the process. How these small bubbles grow and eventually detach was previously not known in any great detail. A German-Chinese research team under the leadership of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf (HZDR) has now managed to fundamentally expand this understanding.

From ideas to instruments: a visit at Leibnitz IPHT
23/11/2022
Light-based technologies offer enormous potential in the fight against infectious diseases. Their research as well as the development of effective diagnostic methods and therapies are to be revolutionized in Jena in the coming years with the Leibniz Center for Photonics in Infection Research (LPI).

Using quantum sensor technology to improve brain tumor operations
22/11/2022
In the future, quantum sensor technology is expected to further improve the assignment of functions to certain brain areas – via new diagnostic devices that, among other things, refine neuronavigation. A consortium of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz is working on this in the new DiaQNOS project.

New demonstration and transfer center at TU Dresden: facilitating SMEs' entry into AI
10/11/2022
Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to optimize processes and tap considerable potential in the production and manufacturing industry. However, how do small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular get started with suitable AI applications?
ITM/TUD
Intelligent materials for robotics and prostheses
09/11/2022
Researchers based in Dresden are going to develop a completely new class of materials in which actuators and sensors are integrated directly into flexible fibre composites – contrary to the state of the art.
