TUCtag 2025 -- a great event for the entire family
Thousands of guests enjoyed the presentations at the TU Chemnitz in perfect weather. The ZfM attracted children and young people to its booths with an interactive offer. Programming Robots, testing inertial sensor, understanding fuel cells and flying drones using AR were the topics, where the ZfM shows the using of versatile sensors (made by microsystem technologies) in our daily life.Read moreTUCtag 2025
The ZfM highlights its work and research at TUC the open day – events to DISCOVER, PARTICIPATE and BE AMAZED! Read moreNanolot - gradierte Nanoverbundwerkstoffe mit funktionsorientierten Eigenschaften zur Verarbeitung mit additiven Fertigungstechnologien
Within the NANOLOT research project innovative nanocomposite materials with new functional properties for substrate-bonding have been developed. With help of a specific, additive manufacturing process - aerosol jet technology - not only binary solder systems based on nanoparticles have been deposited, but also defined mixing ratios of two different nanoparticle materials or nanoparticle inks are could be set and applied for chip-level bondingRead moreThere is even more.
