Jetzt bewerben für einen Studienaufenthalt in Taiwan ab Februar 2027!

Published on Wed, 27 May 2026 in NEWS

Das mittlerweile bundesweite Semiconductor Talent Incubation Program (STIPT) wird auch im kommenden Jahr fortgeführt. Studierende mit Schwerpunkt MINT können sich im Zuge dessen für einen sechsmonatigen Auslandsaufenthalt bewerben, der Studien an einer taiwanesischen Universität mit einem Praktikum bei TSMC, einem der weltgrößten Halbleiter-Hersteller, kombiniert. Für den Zeitraum Februar bis August 2027 stehen 100 Plätze zur Verfügung. Das Programm ist eine gemeinsame Initiative des Bundesministeriums für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt (BMFTR), des Sächsischen Staatsministeriums für Wissenschaft, Kultur und Tourismus (SMWK), der TU Dresden und der Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC). Bisher haben mehr als 100 Studierende aus unterschiedlichen Fachrichtungen der Ingenieurs- und Naturwissenschaften, darunter Elektrotechnik, Mikroelektronik, Nanoelektronik, Werkstoffkunde, Mechatronik, Maschinenbau, Gerätetechnik, Automatisierungstechnik, Robotik, Sensortechnologie, Physik und Chemie, das Angebot genutzt.

Achtung! Bewerbungsfrist für das Sommersemester 2027: bis 15. Juni 2026 (12 Uhr)

Viele Innovationen basieren auf der Elektrotechnik, z.B. die Entwicklung von Chips für Smartphones, Roboter und Fahrzeuge. Deutschland benötigt jedoch mehr Studierende und Fachkräfte im Bereich der Elektrotechnik. Dafür wirbt die Professur für Schaltungstechnik und Netzwerktheorie (PSN) der Technischen Universität Dresden (TUD) seit Jahren mit diversen innovativen Formaten, um auch die Jugend anzusprechen. Als lokaler Partner organisiert jetzt das Team um Prof. Frank Ellinger am Freitag, den 19. Juni 2026, ab 19:30 Uhr erneut das 3B-Festival der Elektronik im Stromwerk Dresden (Kraftwerk Mitte), einem der größten Clubs Sachsens. "3B" steht für "Bits, Bonding, Bassline".

Researchers at TUD and Fraunhofer SCAI illustrate why energy and mobility systems can only be understood as a whole

Why do well-intentioned measures in power grids or transportation systems sometimes fail to produce the desired outcomes, or even make the situation worse? A new study by researchers at TU Dresden and Fraunhofer SCAI reveals that sustainable infrastructures often behave differently than one might intuitively expect.

A review article published on April 23, 2026, in Nature Computational Science clearly demonstrates: The key characteristics of energy and mobility systems only become apparent when viewed as complex, dynamic systems as a whole.

Prof. Marc Timme (TUD) and Mehrnaz Anvari (Fraunhofer SCAI) compiled the latest findings on the dynamics of interconnected infrastructures. The focus is on how power grids and transportation systems react to changes and why even tiny and seemingly insignificant changes often have larger and unexpected consequences.

ESiM publication: A Subphthalocyanine Platform for Single-Molecule Machines on Surface: Ligand Directed Adsorption on Au(111)

Published on Tue, 24 Mar 2026 in NEWS

A collaboration between the Single Molecule Machine (SMM) group at TU Dresden/cfaed, TU Hamburg, and IPF Dresden within the ESiM project has identified a new class of vertical oriented molecular rotors for applications in energy storage.

The work is published in ACS Nano: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.5c17283

For the development of single-molecule machines on surfaces able to store energy, a vertical molecular geometry based on a simple, common platform and on variable functional ligands is a promising design approach. This could allow to decouple the active unit from the supporting surface and to obtain a flexible modular system.

Scientists of TU Dresden, TU Hamburg-Harburg, and IPF Dresden have functionalized subphthalocyanine with a series of vertical axial ligands of varying conjugation lengths and studied their adsorption on the Au(111) surface by low-temperature STM supported by simulations. They found that increasing the conjugation length of the axial ligand induces a distinct transition in the adsorption geometry.

The article sets the bases for the development of a modular and flexible platform for vertical rotors on surface with applications in energy storage and offers a rational strategy to control the orientation and packing of the rotors through the design of the axial ligands.

An international team of researchers from TUD Dresden University of Technology, Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics Halle, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and partner institutions across Europe has developed a breakthrough method for producing MXenes – an important family of two-dimensional materials – with unprecedented purity and control. The new “gas-liquid-solid” process enables the synthesis of pure MXenes with uniformly distributed halogen atoms on the surface and a precisely tunable surface composition. Their method dramatically boosts their electrical conductivity and opens the door to high-performance electronics, sensors, and energy technologies.
