Clean construction sites: Zwickau engine for heavy machinery

Researchers at Zwickau University of Applied Sciences are developing an innovative hydrogen engine that emits hardly any pollutants. With three million euros in funding from the Free State of Saxony and the EU, a drive system for ships, power plants and construction machinery will be created by 2027. The special feature: The engine is designed from the ground up for hydrogen and operates almost emission-free even without an exhaust catalytic converter.

How our brain makes artificial intelligence smarter

Researchers at Chemnitz University of Technology and the University of Magdeburg are working on a new approach to artificial intelligence. Their model: the human brain and its ability to develop habits. AI systems should learn to automate routine tasks - and consume significantly less energy in the process.

Saxon researchers switch bodily functions on and off with light

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.

Dresden doctors test new therapy against second stroke

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.

Better treatment of blood poisoning: 7.5 million euros for project under Leipzig leadership

Every year, 75,000 people in Germany die from sepsis. Many deaths could be avoided. Leipzig University Hospital is now launching a nationwide project with 7.5 million euros in funding to improve treatment. The researchers want to digitally link all treatment data and use modern pathogen diagnostics to detect dangerous progressions earlier. Partners are university hospitals from four other cities.

Game mechanics to help save energy

Playing your way to the energy transition: A new junior research group at the University of Applied Sciences Zwickau is investigating how gamification can help with technological change. Among other things, the researchers are developing an "Energy Tamagotchi" that makes electricity consumption visible and a digital driving trainer for energy-efficient driving. The interdisciplinary team aims to develop practical concepts for business and society by 2028.

How our heart processes signals: New insights into living cells

Researchers at Leipzig University have developed a new method to observe important signal receptors in cells live. Using tiny luminous molecules, they have shown for the first time in living cells how a receptor that helps control heart function works. The discovery: these receptors are not simple switches, but take on different forms depending on the active ingredient. This could enable the development of drugs with fewer side effects.

Pine needles become clothing: Researchers develop textiles from forest waste

In Saxony's forests, pine needles normally end up unused on the ground and rot. Researchers at WHZ Zwickau are now turning them into sustainable textiles. The "ConFiTex" project is creating completely compostable yarn from local conifer needles - an innovative contribution to the circular economy that shows how forest waste can be turned into fashion.

New building for Dresden University School delayed - Structural Commission sounds the alarm

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.

"The motivation for change and further development is unbroken." - Dresden University School trial starts its sixth year

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.
