When atoms in a crystal rotate, they follow the same laws of nature as a carousel. But at the atomic level, something unusual happens: the angular momentum can reverse direction. Physicists from Dresden have now observed this effect directly for the first time — providing new insight into a physics question that has puzzled researchers for more than 100 years. | more
A hair-thin copper wire is struck by one of the world’s most powerful lasers – and vaporizes in trillionths of a second. Dresden researchers have captured the process in unprecedented detail, with implications for future fusion reactors. | more
Nach zwei Jahren erfolgreicher Zusammenarbeit geht das INTERREG-Projekt „Grenzüberschreitende Experimentiergärten“ in die finale Phase. Am 4. November lädt das Technologie- und Gründerzentrum Bautzen zur Abschlusskonferenz „Impulse für die MINT-Bildung von morgen“ ein – ein Höhepunkt des Wissenschaftsjahres 2026. | more
An excavator that lasts longer. A factory that uses less energy. Researchers at Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden have developed a solution for exactly that. With a new laser direct cladding process, they can protect metal parts from wear more effectively than before – while reducing energy consumption by up to 90 percent. | more
Paper packaging is considered the better choice. It is more sustainable, recyclable and environmentally friendly than plastic. But they still have one problem: they need adhesives or layers of plastic to seal them, which makes recycling more difficult. Researchers in Dresden want to change this - with a laser that creates its own adhesive in the paper. | more
