| 11/2015 | Smart and mini: Innovations for medical engineering | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Our work on smart biomimetics – a unique class of devices combining the adpatability of soft actuators with the imperceptibility of microelectronics – is highlighted in the media: The original work was published as a cover story in Adv. Mater. 27, 6797 (2015) URL PDF |
| 11/2015 | Paper featured on the front cover of Advanced Materials |
|---|---|
| Our manuscript on Biomimetic microelectronics for regenerative neuronal cuff implants is highlighted on the front cover of Advanced Materials. We introduced smart biomimetics – a unique class of devices combining mechanical adaptivity of soft actuators with the imperceptibility of microelectronics. Due to the inherent ability to self-assemble, biomimetic microelectronics can firmly yet gently attach to an inorganic or biological tissue enabling enclosure of, e.g. nervous fibers, or guiding the growth of neuronal cells during regeneration. This work is the result of a fruitful cooperation between the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW), the group of Prof. G. Tröster (ETH Zurich) and the group of Dr. N. Münzenrieder (University of Sussex). The original work was published as a cover story in Adv. Mater. 27, 6797 (2015) URL PDF |

| 07/2015 | Flexible Future Point-of-Care Disease Diagnostic |
|---|---|
 | We realized a light weight and mechanically flexible diagnostic platform based on cost-effective highly sensitive Si nanowire field effect transistors fabricated on flexible polymeric foils, which are only 100 µm thick. The devices reveal remarkable limit of detection for subtype H1N1 Avian Influenza Virus. The devices on polymeric support are about 10 times lighter compared to their rigid counterparts realized on conventional Si wafers that make them cost efficient for high-volume delivery to medical institutions worldwide. We envision that the realization of the sensitive diagnostic platform will allow the timely diagnosis of the viral or infectious diseases also in the developing countries. This work is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW), Chair of Materials Science and Nanotechnology of TU Dresden and NaMLab. The original work was published as a cover story in the recent issue of Advanced Healthcare Materials 10, 1517 (2015). URL PDF |

| 07/2015 | Magnetic soft x-ray tomography is a reality now | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | While X-ray tomography has already been successfully applied, its magnetic analog – magnetic X-ray tomography – although demanded for medical applications and in material design, was not available. We put forth the foundation of magnetic soft X-ray tomography and demonstrate its capabilities by reconstructing 3D spin textures of microscopic tubular architectures. This work was carried out in close collaboration with partners at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, BESSY II (Dr. Florian Kronast) and Advanced Light Source at Berkeley (Dr. Peter Fischer).
