Everything around us is made up of hydrogen and helium, which were formed in the first few minutes after the Big Bang. A new experimental facility is now beginning operations at TU Dresden to study precisely this early phase of the universe in the laboratory. | more
How do electrons behave under conditions similar to those inside a planet? Researchers subjected aluminum to extreme pressure and high temperatures – and discovered that key models in physics are surprisingly inaccurate. | more
Apple-Notebook zum Einstiegspreis, ein Premium-QLED-TV mit mehr als 1.300 Euro Preisvorteil und ein Smartphone für unter 100 Euro: Die aktuellen Wochenangebote bei MEDIMAX Meißen bieten starke Technik zu außergewöhnlich günstigen Preisen. | more
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
Printed solar cells are seen as a beacon of hope for affordable and flexible photovoltaics. Researchers at Chemnitz University of Technology have now discovered that they can remain efficient even with extremely little material. | more
A new research center dedicated to one of humanity’s oldest questions is set to be built in Dresden: How does life organize itself? Germany’s Science Council has recommended funding of up to €77 million for the project, with construction scheduled to begin in 2027. | 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
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
Every human being begins as a single cell. Researchers at TU Dresden have now deciphered how this becomes a complete organism. Their discovery: the first cell divisions function through controlled chaos. Thread-like structures called microtubules divide the cell material - although they are actually unstable. The study published in Nature also shows why different animal species use different developmental strategies. | more
