A Dresden musician makes audible what quantum researchers are working on. Konrad Kuechenmeister has recorded the noises from laboratories at TU Dresden and the University of Würzburg and mixed them into a soundtrack. The loop music accompanies the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat into a new phase. With a focus on dynamics, 300 scientists want to develop quantum materials for green technologies and quantum computers.
Every human being begins as a single cell. Researchers at TU Dresden have now deciphered how this becomes a complete organism. Their discovery: the first cell divisions function through controlled chaos. Thread-like structures called microtubules divide the cell material - although they are actually unstable. The study published in Nature also shows why different animal species use different developmental strategies.
Fault diagnosis on the screen instead of just under the hood: 100 trainee automotive mechatronics technicians in Dresden are the first to test a digital examination station. TU Dresden has developed the computer simulation to make journeyman's exams fairer and more comparable. Nevertheless, the trade remains important.
Violet light on, blue light off: Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have developed molecular switches that control bodily functions using light pulses. The scientists can use them to activate nerve cells, regulate adrenaline release and control intestinal movements. The new method could help to better understand diseases and develop new therapies.
Around one in three stroke patients suffers a relapse - often just a few days after the initial cerebral infarction. Doctors at TU Dresden are now starting a large nationwide study with 2,100 participants. They want to find out whether a combination of two drugs provides better protection against a second stroke than the current standard therapy. The Federal Ministry of Research is funding the project with three million euros.
How do cells talk to each other? A team at TU Dresden has succeeded in making the most important sensors on the cell surface visible for the first time. The so-called proteoglycans receive signals and control how cells grow and react. The new method could help to better understand cancer and develop new therapies in the future.
Diamonds with flaws as a tool for science: the new professor Aparajita Singha at TU Dresden uses special diamond sensors to measure magnetic signals from individual atoms. Her ambitious goal for the next five years is to carry out these measurements at room temperature - something that no one else in the world has yet managed to do. Her research in the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat is an important basis for future quantum computers and strengthens Saxony's position in quantum technology.
TU Dresden is developing the sixth generation of mobile communications with TU Munich. From 2030, 6G should enable remote care robots and operations. The focus is on the connection between man and machine. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the project with 25 million euros.
High energy prices and climate protection - hydrogen is supposed to solve both problems. But the technology is expensive. Four Saxon universities are now developing fuel cells that can be reused. The "Hy²Cycle" project could advance the energy transition.
Axolotls can regrow lost limbs - always in the perfect size. Scientists from Dresden have now deciphered how this works. Their mathematical model shows that two messenger substances work together as an intelligent measuring system. The findings could also be important for us humans.
How do cells divide when they are too big for the classic mechanism? Researchers at TU Dresden have discovered a surprising trick of nature in zebrafish embryos. A rhythmic alternation between solid and liquid states inside the cell enables division over several cycles. The discovery changes our understanding of one of the most fundamental processes of life.
Artificial intelligence requires enormous computing power. TU Dresden is therefore planning a new supercomputer. "Deneb" is the name of the system with 184 high-performance chips, which is due to be launched at the end of 2026. Particularly sustainable: 97 percent of the computing heat flows into the district heating network and heats buildings in the surrounding area.
A research group at TU Dresden has decoded a central mechanism in cancer cells. This enables safer therapies.
More than one in five adults has elevated blood sugar levels. A new study by TU Dresden and King's College London now shows how important it is to normalize them. Those who bring their blood sugar back to normal levels halve their risk of serious heart disease. The research questions previous assumptions in preventive medicine.
Once again, the planned start of construction for a learning building for Dresden University School has been postponed. The current situation has prompted a public statement from the Dresden University School's Structure and Evaluation Commission. Until the new building planned for 2029/30 is completed, the committee criticizes that research and learning are suffering under precarious conditions.

At TU Dresden, the second pilot phase of the project to better intertwine theory and practice in teacher training has begun. The internship runs throughout the semester and allows participating students to grow into the role of teachers whilst mitigating the shortage of teachers in East Saxony.
In the 2024/25 school year, around 830 students in grades 1 to 10 from the entire Dresden city area and neighboring communities will attend the Dresden University School. Innovative teaching-learning formats and a contemporary school organization are being tested and researched in the school trial by the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) and the city of Dresden. The focus of school development is now moving away from the organization of teaching in the younger grades towards the development of structures in the final grades. For the second time in the school's young history, final examinations will be held in the beginning school year, and for the first time, the young people in the qualification level will also be preparing for the Realschule examination. The integration of the Ukrainian pupils and teachers into the school community is also progressing.
Since 2020, the Dresden University School pilot project has been supported by a structure and evaluation commission in the process of school development and research. The committee of renowned educational scientists and experienced practitioners is now presenting its fourth report.
The first graduating class of the University School Dresden is impressive: 100% passed, over half with very good results and two students with excellent results. For the first final examinations in the school's young history, the students in Year 9 also received grades again for the first time in the joint school experiment of TU Dresden and the City of Dresden.
An analysis by the CHE shows that many school leavers in Saxony stay close to home to study. Proximity to home and increased costs play a role in this.
Study by TU Dresden shows how AI tools such as ChatGPT can help with investment decisions. Are traditional financial advisors still necessary?
The Dresden University School supports school development processes in eastern Saxony as part of the "Schule bewegt Sachsen" project. Using findings from the real-world laboratory on the school of the future, which is unique in Germany, the cooperation project aims to find solutions, e.g. for teacher shortages, with new approaches.
At Dresden University School, 720 students have started the new school year. As in previous years, the size of the school community not only changes with each new school year, but further components of the school concept are implemented. In the 2023/24 school year, this is particularly the early career orientation with the PRALL project and the continuation of the youth school in the Old Brickworks in Prohlis. The first grades for grade 9 and integration of Ukrainian children and young people into the student body are also on the agenda.
