Every year, cfaed organizes its Scientific Image Competiton to collect the best visual output from all our labs and research fields. Also in 2025, we received wonderful and stunning images of your daily scientific work – thanks to all who submitted contributions!
Now, the cfaed-wide voting was taking place – and now we can finally announce the winners!
Friedrich Dürrenmatt, famous Swiss author and dramatist once said: "In science, there is the unity, in art the diversity of the mystery we call the world."

We had a wonderful time and great joy running the 23rd Dresden Microelectronics Academy (DMA) - the chipmaking summer school! The fantastic group was forming a team starting day 1. A special addition were the new doctoral students from Collaborative Research Center/Transregio "Active-3D" joining in. Here you can find a small album as a visual wrap-up for this unique event:

We feel always delighted when official university bodies use entries from our annual Scientific Image Contest to design official documents, certificates, and similar items. It shows just how exciting scientific depictions can be and how easily the boundaries between science, art and design can blur in this context.
In the example shown, the motif “C8-BTBT Flower” by Dr. Katherina Haase adorns the certificate of honorary citizenship awarded posthumously to Christiane Schaufler-Münch by TU Dresden in recognition of her extraordinary commitment to science, art and education (read the full announcement here). She was honored for the close and long-standing support of THE SCHAUFLER FOUNDATION, which she co-founded, and its support for TUD.

Great appreciation for our Chair of Compiler Construction: We are delighted to announce that the Compiler Construction lecture has been honoured with the Teaching Award in the category Best Elective Course for the academic term 2024/25. This distinction was awarded during this year’s OUTPUT.DD to Prof. Jeronimo Castrillon and Dr. Lars Schütze by the Student Council of the Faculty of Computer Science (iFSR), following a faculty-wide vote where all Computer Science students can nominate awardees. Prof. Castrillon: "We are happy for this outstanding recognition and heartfelt thanks to our students for their support."

Scientists at the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) demonstrate in a new study how systems can shift from disorder to near-perfect order with unprecedented abruptness. The research team of TUD Dresden University of Technology reveals with this study, published in Nature Communications, a novel class of transitions in coupled oscillatory units, termed "extreme synchronization transitions”, challenging our traditional understanding of phase transitions.
Phase transitions are fundamental phenomena emerging across natural and human-made systems – from ice melting and traffic jam formation to the magnetization of metals. They mark qualitative changes in the degree of ordering of system constituents. Understanding how and why these transitions emerge constitutes one of the cornerstones of research on complex systems in nature and engineering.
