The Charité – University Medicine Berlin and the Technical University of Berlin opened the research centers "Berlin Center for Advanced Therapies" (BeCAT) and "The Simulated Human" (Si-M) on April 22, 2026. The highly specialized buildings offer scientists excellent conditions for researching and…

It sounds a bit like science fiction: a laboratory that can plan, conduct, and evaluate its experiments largely independently. In which computers and artificial intelligence (AI) control robots work together with state-of-the-art analysis devices. And in which no human has to burn the night hours fe…

An innovative microlaser concept based on so-called surface emitters (VCSEL) has been developed by the Department of "Optoelectronics and Quantum Devices" at TU Berlin under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Stephan Reitzenstein. The new microlasers are vertically structured laser diodes in which the uppe…

The new physics building with the Center for Integrated Photonics Research (CIPHOR) on the East Campus of the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) will be constructed according to the plans of the architecture firm Telluride. As part of an expert colloquium, the Senate Department for Urban Dev…

On Monday, June 23, 2025, the microsatellite QUICK³ from the Vandenberg Space Center (California, USA; GMT-7) was successfully launched into Earth's orbit. The mission aims to test new technologies for secure quantum communication and conduct a quantum physics experiment under space conditions. The…

As part of the European program REXUS (Rocket Experiments for University Students), a high-altitude research rocket was launched on March 11, 2025, from the Esrange Space Center near the Swedish town of Kiruna. Included: an experiment from TU Berlin testing innovative, 3D-printed fuel tanks for spac…

The TU Berlin InnoCube satellite makes spaceflight history: It is the first satellite to perform all its internal data traffic wirelessly via radio. The new technology reduces weight and sources of error and opens up entirely new possibilities for satellite integration and development. On Tuesday, J…

Citizen scientists can collect micrometeorites from their rooftops and identify them with some practice using a light microscope. The most experienced among them have now, together with a team of researchers from TU Berlin and the Museum of Natural History in Berlin, as well as other international s…

A consortium of over 25 leading universities, research institutions, and companies receives five million euros through the DATIpilot program for the project "BioBlock". This makes "BioBlock" one of the 20 selected innovation communities out of 500 applications for funding. "The management team, cons…

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…
