On September 16, Professor Konstantin S. Novoselov FRS holds his Nobel Lecture “Graphene: Materials in the Flatland” at TU Dresden. The talk will take place within cfaed's "Distinguished Lecture Series" which invites top tier guests to come to Dresden.
Sir Konstantin Novoselov was distinguished by the Nobel Committee for Physics “for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene”.
Thinner than paper, lighter than a feather, stronger than steel and better at conducting both electricity and heat than copper: graphene has been called as “the new wonder material of the 21st century”. Graphene consists of a layer of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a hexagonal pattern and form the graphite, commonly found in pencils. The material can be utilized in numerous disciplines.

Congratulations to cfaed scientist Dr. Robert Brückner! The Senorics Team yesterday won the 1st prize of FutureSAX Innovation Award. The scientists from IAPP at TU Dresden developed organic based optical sensors with unique features for the use in agriculture.
Ripeness, moistness or protein content are important quality parameters for crop, and therefore also for farmers. Up to now they are only determinable after harvesting. Senorics develops novel optical sensors based on organic semiconductors allowing determination already before harvesting - fast, simple and cheap. Given continuously growing global population this is a multi-billion Euro market.

With great sadness, the Cluster of Excellence Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) mourns the unexpected loss of Professor Thomas Geßner, who died on 25 May 2016.
With the death of Thomas Geßner, cfaed has lost one of its key principal investigators. Responsible for the coordination of the Cluster’s activities at its partner location Chemnitz from the very first idea throughout the first funding period, Thomas Geßner was a highly valued colleague as well as an appreciated friend cfaed relied on for constructive feedback and dedicated support. “We mourn the loss of a pioneer in the area of advancing microelectronics research, a great supporter of the advancement of the science location Saxony, and a role model for young scientists. It was a pleasure working with him.”, Prof. Fettweis (cfaed Coordinator) says. “Consolidating the microelectronics research activities of Dresden and Chemnitz by creating our Cluster, has proved as one of the most promising results of cfaed with the research done at TU Chemnitz as well as the Fraunhofer ENAS belonging today to the international key groups. He strongly supported the development of the science region of Saxony within Germany as well as the promotion internationally.”
Thomas Geßner was the director and founder of the Center for Microtechnologies (ZfM), Professor for Microtechnology at TU Chemnitz as well as the director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS. He helped to shape the profile of TU Chemnitz during the mid-1990s not only in his role as Pro-Rector for Research but also as Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology.
Our deepest condolences to the family of Professor Thomas Geßner and his colleagues.
