To advance digitalization, the next generation of mobile communication standards, 6G, is indispensable. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding a consortium with 17 partners ("Open6GHub") that is working on 6G standards and processes. Over the next four years, it will provid…

Anyone interested in engineering, economics, social sciences, and natural sciences will find the Technical University of Kaiserslautern (TUK) the perfect place. Until the end of August, prospective students can apply for the non-restricted study programs. For the restricted programs, the deadline is…

The Joint Science Conference (GWK) approved further projects on July 2nd, which emerged from the multi-stage competition of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). The goal is to build infrastructures for various scientific disciplines to better utilize the abundance of research data. TU K…

Physicists at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern led by Professor Dr. Herwig Ott have succeeded for the first time in observing collisions between highly excited atoms, known as Rydberg atoms, and atoms in the ground state. The special feature: they can precisely identify the energy states o…

Magnonic devices have the potential to revolutionize the electronics industry. Qi Wang, Andrii Chumak from University of Vienna and Philipp Pirro from TU Kaiserslautern have largely accelerated the design of more versatile magnonic devices via a feedback-based computational algorithm. Their "inverse…

2.43 billion years ago, the "Great Oxygenation Event" (GOE) began: Earth's atmosphere gradually became enriched with oxygen, a byproduct of photosynthesis. The trigger was, according to science, photosynthetic cyanobacteria. But why did this crucial change happen so late? Evidence from rock samples…

Whether in car tires or gears in production – friction and wear lead to losses. Here in Germany, this results in an annual economic damage amounting to over five percent of the gross domestic product. Therefore, it is important to develop material combinations such as plastic-metal systems with bett…

Classical engines convert one form of energy, such as heat, into mechanical work. Can these laws also be applied to a miniature machine made from a single cesium atom, which could operate more efficiently? A research team from TU Kaiserslautern, led by physics professor Dr. Artur Widera, has proven…

Many biological processes are subject to rhythmic changes. Well-known examples include the so-called circadian rhythm, an "internal clock" with approximately a 24-hour cycle, or the slightly shorter, ultradian rhythm. Cell division is often coupled with this rhythm. Researchers from Saarbrücken and…

An international research team under the collaborative leadership of the Technical University of Kaiserslautern has identified a universal vulnerability present in most cancer cells. The findings could contribute to the development of drugs that work against tumors regardless of the cancer type.

Canc…
