A better interface between humans and machines?

International research team develops bimodal “electronic skin” Through the crafty use of magnetic fields, scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the Johannes Kepler University in Linz have developed the first electronic sensor that can simultaneously process both touchless and tactile stimuli. Prior attempts have so far failed to combine these functions on a single device due

Could magnetic refrigeration using magnetic materials in magnetic fields meet global cooling needs?

As a result of climate change, population growth, and rising expectations regarding quality of life, energy requirements for cooling processes are growing much faster worldwide than for heating. Another problem that besets today’s refrigeration systems is that most coolants cause environmental and health damage. A novel technology could provide a solution: refrigeration using magnetic materials

DNA-based computers get a step closer

HZDR researchers conduct electricity using DNA-based nanowires Tinier than the AIDS virus – that is currently the circumference of the smallest transistors. The industry has shrunk the central elements of their computer chips to fourteen nanometers in the last sixty years. Conventional methods, however, are hitting physical boundaries. Researchers around the world are looking for

Researchers from Konstanz and Dresden succeed in light-controlled molecule switching

The enormous advantages of this new technology are obvious: billion-euro manufacturing plants that are necessary for manufacturing today’s microelectronics could be a thing of the past. Scientists at the University of Konstanz and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are working on storing and processing information on the level of single molecules to create the smallest possible

Compact proton therapy for fight against cancer

In the fight against cancer, proton therapy is especially precise and is better able to spare healthy tissue compared to established, high-level, hard X-ray based radiation therapy The future face of modern-day anti-cancer therapy based on charged particles like protons could potentially involve using laser accelerators. However, these facilities will need to be reduced in

Self-aligning DNA wires for application in nanoelectronics

Since continuous miniaturization in microelectronics is already starting to reach the physical limits, researchers are seeking new methods for device fabrication. One promising candidate is the DNA origami technique in which individual strands of the biomolecule self-assemble into arbitrarily shaped nanostructures. The formation of entire circuits, however, requires the controlled positioning of these DNA structures

Luminous Bacterial Proteins Detect Chemicals in Water

This is the concept: If the analyzed sample shines red, then the water is ‘clean;’ While residual medications don’t belong in the water, trace metals from industrial process waters handled by the recycling industry are, in contrast, valuable resources. Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed a simple color sensor principle which facilitates the

Breast cancer breakthrough is a tribute to our scientists

TALKING of heroes, Victorian scientists have done it again with another major breakthrough in the treatment of breast cancer. As the Sunday Herald Sun reports on page 7 today, a team from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre has announced it is working on a type of vaccine that “mops” up breast cancer cells left after radiation treatment.
