True random numbers are at the heart of all secure encryption. Researchers at Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden have developed Q-Dice, a generator that derives randomness directly from quantum physics. This makes it significantly more difficult for hackers to attack passwords and bank data. | more
Chips are in almost everything we use every day. But how do you make them even more powerful without making them bigger? Researchers at the Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden have taken a decisive step. They embed tiny chip components in silicon so precisely that a compact overall system is created - with a huge impact for AI, smartphones and more. | more

A screen barely larger than a postage stamp, yet packing more than four million pixels: researchers in Dresden have developed a microdisplay aimed at making augmented reality glasses brighter, sharper, and more practical for everyday use. | more
No cables, no radio: researchers at the Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden are transmitting industrial data through factories using light. The system works with very low latency, without electromagnetic interference, and in real time. How it works – and why it could matter for the factories of the future. | more
New sensors from Saxony are designed to detect environmental changes immediately. This not only helps in the forest. The AI also helps to measure even the smallest pollutants directly on site. | more
Die meisten Führungskräfte wissen, was gute Führung ausmacht. Sie kennen Kommunikationstechniken, besuchen Seminare und haben zahlreiche Managementbücher gelesen. Und doch geraten viele im Alltag immer wieder in Situationen, die sie verunsichern: schwierige Mitarbeitergespräche, Konflikte im Team, weitreichende Entscheidungen oder der Spagat zwischen wirtschaftlichem Druck und menschlicher Verantwortung. | more
Ultra-thin material layers are found in almost every modern device. Their performance depends on precise measurements. A Dresden research project now aims to take thin-film characterization to a new level. | more
Data everywhere, energy in short supply: a €15-million research project aims to make AI far more efficient. Researchers in Dresden are developing brain-inspired chips and smart sensors that could help farmers determine when fruit is ready to harvest. | more

Modern cars and factories need networks in which data not only arrives quickly, but also with pinpoint accuracy. The Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden has developed a chip component that is ten times faster than previous solutions and works with nanosecond precision. The technology makes self-driving cars safer and production plants more efficient. | more
Previous pH measuring devices have a weak point: sensitive electrodes. Researchers at the Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden are now replacing them with robust chips. The technology could improve measurements in medicine, agriculture and environmental protection. | more
In jedem Verein, in jeder Straße, in jedem Treppenhaus gibt es diesen einen Menschen, der einfach da ist – ohne Bezahlung, ohne Applaus, oft ohne ein einziges Dankeschön. DIE SACHSEN NEWS startet eine neue Serie und sucht genau diese Menschen: Sachsens Alltagshelden. Und die Chancen stehen gut, dass Sie selbst schon eine oder einen kennen. | more
A special kind of camera is being developed at the Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden: it combines artificial intelligence with spectral analysis to detect the chemical properties of materials. The compact technology makes quality checks in factories, recycling plants and fields faster, more precise and more sustainable. From fresh food to single-origin plastic recycling - the development opens up numerous applications. | more
A new measuring adapter from Dresden is revolutionizing materials research. Researchers at Fraunhofer IPMS can use it to test eight samples simultaneously - a breakthrough for the development of displays, solar cells and sensors. The innovation saves time and accelerates the path to better electronics. | more
