The technology leader AT&S already holds almost 800 patents and was giving an insight into its R&D departments in Leoben at the “Long Night of Research” on May 24, 2024. But some things remain top secret: the new research center and Europe’s first substrate plant recently installed a high-te…

Imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, and Sarcura GmbH, an Austrian early-stage technology start-up, present their proof-of-concept on-chip flow cytometer using integrated photonics. Published on 20th May 2024 in Scientific Reports, part of th…

Nucleic acid-based medications such as mRNA vaccines offer tremendous potential for medicine and are opening up new therapeutic approaches. These active ingredients must be enclosed inside nanoparticles to ensure that they get to where they are needed inside the body’s cells. The Fraunhofer Institut…

Scientists at TU Berlin have, for the first time, created a model of the liver using 3D bioprinting from human cells, without relying on materials of animal origin. This achievement is an important step towards biomedical research and education that fully relies on methods free of animal suffering…

Many new drug candidates end up failing because they cause serious side effects in clinical trials even though lab tests involving cell cultures have been successful. This is a common occurrence if the cells used come from animal tissue, for example. Specially prepared cell cultures made from human…

On April 18, 2024, a large-scale experiment to detect dark matter was inaugurated in Italy. COSINUS is an international research project in which a team from the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) is also involved.

The nature of dark matter is still one of the great questions of modern physics…

The TU Berlin has participated very successfully in the competitive procedure for the realization of new research buildings in joint funding between the federal government and the states for the funding phase 2025. Under the term "CIPHOR," the project for Integrated Quantum Photonics was rated as "v…

Every year, around half a million people in Germany are diagnosed with cancer. Despite the existence of effective treatment options for many types of cancer, many questions about the development of the disease remain unanswered. Why does a tumor develop? What factors promote the growth of cancer cel…

For their founding idea, a team from Bochum receives an EXIST funding of 1.34 million euros. Their technology could arrive just in time to solve an emerging global problem.

To monitor the safety of bridges, cranes, pipelines, wind turbines, and much more, strain sensors are needed. Researchers from B…

With a unique experiment that can only be carried out in zero gravity, BTU researchers want to investigate the effects of global warming on the Earth's polar ice caps and the associated changes in air and ocean currents.

The second phase of the DLR project "AtmoFlow" started in February 2024. AtmoFlo…
