wire - news in brief

New micrometer Quantum systems Eva Weig and her team are building mechanical quantum sensors large enough to be seen under an electron microscope.

Materials that can conduct electricity without resistance and thus without loss - so-called superconductors - promise a wide range of modern applications - from nuclear spin tomographs to high-precisi

A research team at Technische Universität Ilmenau has succeeded in further developing a fundamentally new and very material-saving approach. This approach uses additive material synthesis for semiconductor metallization. The research results, developed in the Nanotechnology Group under the leadership of Professor Heiko Jacobs, follow up on prior publications on lateral nanobridge growth (Advanced Materials 2016, IEEE 2018, IEEE 2020) and open up news ways to connect metallization layers vertically, point-to-point, using a plasma jet process.

Students at Technische Universität Ilmenau have won the COSIMA competition of the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies VDE at the world's leading electronics trade fair electronica in Munich with their invention of an "intelligent T-shirt".
