The Saxon Minister of Science and Arts, Dr. Eva-Maria Stange, congratulates Prof. Jülicher for being awarded the prestigious Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz-Preis by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for his great accomplishments in the field of theoretical physics. Prof. Jülicher is a director of Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, a participating institution of the Cluster of Excellence cfaed, and acts as a Principal Investigator of the cluster contributing with his scientific work to several Research Paths, in particular the Biological Systems Path. The Leibniz Award is considered the most important scientific honor in Germany.

Scientists from the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden / TU Dresden and the University of Tokyo led by Dr. Thorsten-Lars Schmidt (cfaed) developed a method to protect DNA origami structures from decomposition in biological media. This protection enables future applications in nanomedicine or cell biology. Their study “Block Copolymer Micellization as a Protection Strategy for DNA Origami” was now published in Angewandte Chemie.

One of the recent scientific pursuits at the cfaed Chair for Organic Devices (Prof. Stefan Mannsfeld) included a visit of Prof. Mannsfeld, Postdoc Mike Hambsch and PhD student Rishi Shivare to the Synchrotron Light Source (ELETTRA) based in Trieste, Italy. The main motivation to visit such a research facility is the opportunity to work with intensely bright x-ray radiation. The 3-days research stay was used to examine a wide range of organic semiconductors, using wide and small angle x-ray scattering. The molecular and mesoscale structure of molecules was probed and a better understanding of how structural modifications affect device performance (for example in organic field effect transistors and solar cells) could be gained. Doing experiments at a synchrotron is truly a unique experience, it is fascinating to see hundreds of scientists working round the clock.

From February 5 to 10, 2017 the Dagstuhl seminar 17061 „Wildly Heterogeneous Post-CMOS Technologies Meet Software“ took place, organized by Jeronimo Castrillon (TU Dresden, leader of the Orchestration path), Tei-Wei Kuo (National Taiwan University), Heike E. Riel (IBM Research Zurich), and Sayeef Salahuddin (University of California, Berkeley). The 30 participants, among them 5 from cfaed, enjoyed one week of interesting talks and intensive, interdisciplinary discussions about the challenges and opportunities of advancing computing beyond current CMOS technology. The participants covered the whole spectrum from post-CMOS materials research up to software development for future heterogeneous computing systems. During the next months a report about the seminar will be compiled and made available at the seminar website.
