Dresden is a place where scientists from all over the world live and work in research institutes and institutions. The places they come from are as diverse as their professional fields. However, their scientific work and lives remain largely invisible within the urban space of Dresden. This major exhibition hopes to change this.The photographer Gabriele Seitz shot about 150 black and white portraits of international scientists. The photographs are presented in conjunction with objects from their research and objects they have brought from home in order to provide insight into the professional and private lives of those portrayed.
Spot the cfaed scientists...!

The 12th China Chongqing Hi-Tech Fair opens its doors on April 21. A German delegation (one of 14 international delegations) will attend the exhibition in the megacity. The research institutes and companies of the German delegation are from Saxony predominantly. In China, they exhibit high-tech solutions e.g. smart systems for condition monitoring of industrial equipment, environmental monitoring as well as automation technologies. The head of the German delegation is cfaed's Principal Investigator Prof. Dr. Thomas Gessner, director of the Fraunhofer ENAS in Chemnitz and the Center for Microtechnologies at TU Chemnitz.

More than 40 registered academic researchers and modeling engineers attended two sessions to hear 10 technical compact modeling engineering talks. This year, compact modeling of emerging technologies such as organic transistors, carbon nanotube transistors and chemical transistors were in focus with contributions from industry and academia. “The talks and discussions revealed an increasing interest of industry and system designers to evaluate the performance and applicability of emerging technologies,” summarized cfaed group leader Dr.-Ing. Martin Claus, local organizer of the workshop in Dresden. He pointed out that “compact models bridge the gap between technology development and applications by providing useful insights for guiding the technology development and by enabling circuit design.” MOS-AK is a dedicated forum for engineers and scientists working in that field.
The MOS-AK Dresden workshop presentations are available here:

As reported by the journal Nature in its latest issue, researchers from Empa, the Max Planck Institute in Mainz and the Technical University of Dresden have for the first time succeeded in producing graphene nanoribbons with perfect zigzag edges from molecules. Electrons on these zigzag edges exhibit different (and coupled) rotational directions ("spin"). This could make graphene nanoribbons the material of choice for electronics of the future, so-called spintronics.

cfaed HAEC Path group leader Dr. Markus Krötzsch will receive the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Prize 2016, which is conferred by German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize, named after the physicist and former president of the DFG, is a distinction for young researchers and provides further incentive for excellent achievements in their research work, and is considered the most important research award for early career researchers in Germany. A total of 134 researchers have been proposed for this year's award. Ten of them have been selected to receive the prize, which comes with 20,000 EUR award money, during a public ceremony taking place on 18 May 2016 in Berlin.Markus Krötzsch is distinguished for his works in the area of knowledge representation, which is focused on the machine-readable representation and intelligent automated processing of human knowledge in computers.
