News for measurement

Clouds are more difficult to understand than they may seem. Current weather and climate models still simplify many of their complex structures, making clouds one of the biggest uncertainties in climate research. Now, more than 40 researchers — including scientists from the TROPOS Institute in Leipzig — are launching an ambitious measurement campaign using drones, a helicopter and dozens of sensors to study clouds in unprecedented detail.

New measurement system for ultra-thin films

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

New sensor chip makes pH measurements more reliable

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

12. Ostsächsische Maschinenbautage in Bautzen

Die Ostsächsischen Maschinenbautage widmen sich am 28. und 29. Oktober dem Thema „Robotik im Maschinenbau“ und zeigen, wie Automatisierung und Nachhaltigkeit für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen zusammengehen. Nutzen Sie Kolloquium, Kooperationsbörse und Unternehmensbesichtigungen, um wertvolle Kontakte zu knüpfen und die grüne Zukunft des Grenzraums mitzugestalten. | more

No more annoying bike noises

Rattling and cracking noises spoil the joy of a new e-bike. Researchers at the Fraunhofer IWU Dresden have developed a test bench that detects annoying noises at the prototype stage. This enables manufacturers to optimize their premium bikes in a targeted manner and bring them to series production. | more

How flawed diamonds are advancing quantum technology

Diamonds with flaws as a tool for science: the new professor Aparajita Singha at TU Dresden uses special diamond sensors to measure magnetic signals from individual atoms. Her ambitious goal for the next five years is to carry out these measurements at room temperature - something that no one else in the world has yet managed to do. Her research in the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat is an important basis for future quantum computers and strengthens Saxony's position in quantum technology. | more
