Congratulations to our Principal Investigator Prof. Frank Ellinger for being awarded the Vodafone Innovation Award 2016! The award ceremony was held yesterday in Düsseldorf. The electrical engineering scientist received the prize honoring his groundbreaking discoveries in the field of high-frequency circuits. Frank Ellinger's innovations allow faster, more energy efficient and cheaper chips for the mobile and landline communications. Frank Ellinger is Principal Investigator of cfaed and has been leading the Carbon Research Path from 2012 until 2014. He is initiator and coordinator of major collaborative research projects like "FFlexCom", "addapt" and "FAST" as well. Ellinger is one of the world's leading experts in the field of circuit technology. For the last 15 years, his team is setting world records priodically.

Die "Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2016" hat beim cfaed alle bisherigen Marken der Besucherzahlen deutlich übertroffen. Besonders in den ersten vier Stunden herrschte großer Andrang. Die Sitzplätze im Hörsaal reichten bei den beiden Vorträgen über DNA als Bauteil für elektronische Schaltkreise und über Datenverarbeitung mittels Chemikalien nicht aus. Auch bei der cfaed-Technologieplattform Dresden Center for Nanoanalysis (DCN), wo unterschiedlichste Experimente mit Mikroskopen und Elektronenmikroskopen durchgeführt werden konnten, waren die Labors oft am Rande ihrer Aufnahmekapazität. Am Begrüßungsstand, wo kleine Experimente nicht nur für Kinder vorbereitet waren, wurden im Laufe des Abends rund 400 Becher mit Cocktails ausgegeben, die auf Basis der 'Molekularküche' entstanden waren - siehe Screenshot von der Facebook-Seite der "Langen Nacht".

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.
