News for TU Chemnitz

Just throw away old washing machines? That may soon no longer be necessary. Researchers at Chemnitz University of Technology have developed a station that guides workers through the dismantling of appliances step by step using AI and digital instructions. Why this matters for the circular economy — and how far the technology has already come.

Deep insights into the world of atoms

Using two highly sensitive electron microscopes, researchers at Chemnitz University of Technology are now looking deep inside materials, right down to the level of individual atoms. What this means for everyday products, materials and the scientific region of Saxony. | more

When a single photon protects a message

Eavesdropping-proof communication and powerful quantum computers need one thing above all: single photons that can be precisely controlled. A Saxon research team from HTW Dresden, Fraunhofer and two technical universities is now working on this – using tiny crystals and highly sensitive detectors. | more

Warum Unternehmer selten offen sprechen – und wie ein vertrauter Kreis genau das verändert

Unternehmerinnen und Unternehmer in Sachsen stehen oft allein da, wenn es um die wirklich schwierigen Fragen geht. Entscheidungen, die niemand im Team mittragen kann. Zweifel, die man ungern im eigenen Netzwerk ausspricht. Und Momente, in denen man merkt: Austausch auf Augenhöhe ist selten – und doch entscheidend für gute Führung. | more

Saxony's universities are top in patents

Saxony is doing research - and with success: between 2022 and 2025, Saxon universities registered 555 patents. This puts East German universities far ahead of institutions in the West on a per capita basis. What is behind this? | more

How our brain makes artificial intelligence smarter

Researchers at Chemnitz University of Technology and the University of Magdeburg are working on a new approach to artificial intelligence. Their model: the human brain and its ability to develop habits. AI systems should learn to automate routine tasks - and consume significantly less energy in the process. | more

When robots understand where we are looking

In factories, humans and robots often work side by side. But the machines do not know where their human colleague is looking. A new research group at Chemnitz University of Technology wants to change this. In future, robots will use eye-tracking technology to recognize where humans are focusing their attention. This could make collaboration safer and more efficient. | more

Study on knockout drops: only one in ten cases is reported

Time and again, people suspect that they have fallen victim to knockout drops. But only a few go to the police. A study by Chemnitz University of Technology shows for the first time how high the number of unreported cases is and why those affected remain silent. | more

Hydrogen technology: Recyclable fuel cells from Saxon laboratories

High energy prices and climate protection - hydrogen is supposed to solve both problems. But the technology is expensive. Four Saxon universities are now developing fuel cells that can be reused. The "Hy²Cycle" project could advance the energy transition. | more

Zahnarzt in Budapest: Behandlung bis zu 70 % günstiger als in Deutschland

Zahnbehandlungen können in Deutschland schnell zur finanziellen Belastung werden. Besonders bei Implantaten, Kronen, Brücken oder umfangreichem Zahnersatz liegen die Kosten häufig im vierstelligen Bereich.
