On Saturday, the "DRESDEN EXCELLENCE AWARD. Science Award of the City of Dresden" with a total prize money of 30,000 euros was awarded for the first time. With this prize, which will be awarded annually in future, the state capital of Dresden, together with the network "Dresden - City of Science", would like to provide ideal support for TU Dresden's application within the “Excellence Strategy”. Authors are honoured for outstanding scientific theses that are of particular importance for the City of Dresden and Dresden's perception as a scientific location. In total, there were four award winners in the categories Bachelor, Diplom/Master, Doctorate and Habilitation.
The Cluster of Excellence Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) at TU Dresden is pleased and proud to announce that Dr. Tim Erdmann, a former doctoral student of the cluster, is among the prize winners. cfaed's Executive Board congratulates Dr. Erdmann on this great success.

Sachsens Umweltminister Thomas Schmidt besucht heute das Kurt-Schwabe-Institut für Mess- und Sensortechnik e. V. (KSI) in Meinsberg bei Waldheim, um sich über die dort stattfindende Forschungs- und Entwicklungsarbeit zu informieren. Das KSI gehört zu den zehn kooperierenden Forschungseinrichtungen im Verbund des Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) und blickt bereits auf eine über 70-jährige Geschichte zurück. Am KSI wird auf dem Gebiet der Mess- und Sensortechnik geforscht. Die rund 40 Mitarbeiter setzen sich aus Chemikern, Biologen, Physikern und Ingenieuren zusammen. Seit 2010 wird das Institut von cfaed Principal Investigator Prof. Dr. Michael Mertig (TU Dresden) geleitet. Er betont: „Das KSI orientiert sich vor allem auf die Entwicklung von kostengünstigen, miniaturisierten und netzwerkfähigen Sensorsystemen, welche vor Ort – also direkt in der Umwelt und Landwirtschaft – eingesetzt werden können.

The nano-fabrication lab at the Columbia University
Two-dimensional materials have gained enormous attention in the last decade due to their potential in carrying forward the Moore’s Law. The group of Prof. James Hone at Columbia University in the City of New York is one of the leading research groups of the world in the area of 2D materials, publishing many high-impact scientific papers and patents every year.

Our daily life depends more than ever on a reliable electrical supply. However, the ongoing energy transition poses new challenges to the electrical power grid and its operators. For the integration of additional renewable generation into the power grid, it is often proposed to split the grid into smaller autonomous cells, also called “microgrids”. Thereby, a village with a combined heat and power unit and added wind and photovoltaic generators could operate mostly independently without drawing energy from the grid. But how does splitting a large grid into smaller cells and adding more renewable generators affect the reliability of the electrical supply? Benjamin Schäfer and Marc Timme, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen and the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) at Technische Universität Dresden, Germany, analysed power grid frequency fluctuation in different regions in the world together with colleagues from the Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), Queen Mary University of London (Great Britain) and the University of Tokyo (Japan). They formulated mathematical models to predict the effect of power fluctuations on the grid frequency. The results are now published in the article „Non-Gaussian Power Grid Frequency Fluctuations Characterized by Lévy-stable Laws and Superstatistics“, at Nature Energy.
