As part of his visit to the People's Republic of China, the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany learns about the joint research project with the Chongqing University to monitor water quality (project "WaterMonitor"). During an on-site visit to the Yangtze River, KSI's partners from the university presented their cooperation work. The Chancellor carried out "hands on" measurements, acknowledges the cooperation and emphasizes the importance of the work to protect the environment.

TUD Dresden University of Technology defines itself as a regionally anchored and globally oriented University of Excellence, which - especially being the largest employer in Dresden - assumes societal responsibility. "Science is part of society and therefore cannot be apolitical. As a public university, we are obliged to maintain party-political neutrality, but being neutral does not equate to remaining silent when fundamental values such as civil liberties, human dignity and the rule of law are at risk," said Prof. Ursula Staudinger, Rector of TUD, in a recent interview in the Sächsische Zeitung.

(News based on the press release by Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), 15 March 2024)
The cfaed congratulates its Associate Member Dr. Larysa Baraban. The researcher from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has been appointed by TU Dresden to the professorship "Medical Nanotechnology" at the Else Kröner Fresenius Center (EKFZ) for Digital Health starting May 2024. The Helmholtz Association is supporting this and another new professorship (Kristina Kvashnina) with funding of 200,000 euros per year. The background to this funding is the Helmholtz Association's "Erstberufungsprogramm", which aims to recruit outstanding female researchers for leadership positions at scientific institutions. In 2022, the two scientists, who were awarded an ERC grant, successfully applied for the program, which was launched by the "Pakt für Forschung und Innovation" initiative of the federal and state governments. The funding will now benefit Larysa Baraban and Kristina Kvashnina by not only offering them reliable career prospects in science, but also creating additional scope for the financial organization of their professorships.

By studying silica morphogenesis in diatoms, the Friedrich and Kröger groups at PoL have proposed a mathematical model to explain the formation of branching rib patterns.
The formation of minerals by living organisms is a widespread biological phenomenon. This includes bone, teeth, seashells, and also the cell walls of tiny microalgae, called diatoms, which are key contributors to global photosynthetic CO2 fixation and oxygen production. Yet, little is known about the physical mechanisms that shape their architecture, which often combines features on many different scales. Diatoms are unicellular alga found in all aquatic habitats, and produce intricately patterned cell walls made predominantly of amorphous silica (SiO2). However, the principles governing the formation of their silica patterns are still largely unknown.
