Highlights in 2016

11/2016	Tobias Kosub receives Summa cum laude for his outstanding PhD Thesis
	Our warmest congratulations to Dr. Tobias Kosub who defended his PhD thesis on 25.11.2016. For his outstanding PhD thesis, Tobias was awarded Summa cum laude.

11/2016	Paper featured on the back cover of Small
	Our manuscript on Confined catalytic Janus swimmers is highlighted on the back cover of Small. Combining catalytic Janus swimmers and passive beads in narrow channels, we observe a number of intriguing dynamic properties ranging from distinct bulk and boundary-free diffusivity at low densities, to directional “locking” and channel “unclogging” at higher densities, whereby a Janus swimmer transports large clusters of passive particles. This work represents an important milestone towards understanding and further fabrication of realistic bioinspired complex networks, containing synthetic autonomous micro- and nano- machines to perform the tasks in a mixture with passive objects. This work is the result of a fruitful cooperation between the Dresden University of Technology (group of Dr. Larysa Baraban), University of Antwerpen (group of Dr. Misko), Tongji University (Prof. Marchesoni), University of Michigan (Prof. Nori), and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e.V. The original work was published in Small 12, 5882 (2016). URL

09/2016	The Scientist magazine highlights our work on smart skins with magnetic functionalities
	Our manuscript on Magnetic suspension array technology is highlighted on the back cover of Small. We demonstrated a logic-controlled magnetic flow cytometric system for controlled synthesis of magnetic encoded microcarriers in multiphase flow networks. The system provides a first solution for the quality administration and screening of magnetic suspension arrays and addresses the universal need of process contrl in microfluidic networks.

08/2016	Gungun Lin receives Summa cum laude for his outstanding PhD Thesis
	Our warmest congratulations to Dr. Gungun Lin who defended his PhD thesis on 16.08.2016. For his outstanding PhD thesis, Gungun was awarded Summa cum laude.

08/2016	Paper featured on the front cover of Advanced Electronic Materials
	Our manuscript on Entirely flexible on-site conditioned magnetic sensorics is highlighted on the front cover of Advanced Electronic Materials. We realized the first entirely flexible integrated magnetic field sensor system consisting of a flexible giant magnetoresistive bridge on-site conditioned using high-performance IGZO-based readout electronics. With the remarkable sensitivity of 25 V/V/kOe, the system outperforms commercial fully integrated rigid magnetic sensors by at least one order of magnitude, whereas all components stay fully functional when bend to a radius of 5 mm. This work is the result of a fruitful cooperation between the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW), Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), 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. Electron. Mater. 2, 1600188 (2016) URL PDF
