In the completed NivLer project, the CiS Research Institute developed a non-invasive retrofit solution for monitoring pipe systems in industry. The retrofittable sensor supports data-based maintenance optimization through early detection of wear and tear and is also suitable for use in areas with high hygiene requirements, such as pharmaceutical and food production
“Promoting ideas – strengthening locations” was the motto at Haus Dacheröden on 15th January 2026. This year’s kick-off event for VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH focused on the book “Land of Powerlessness” by Dr. Robert Peters. His presentation kicked off an inspiring exchange of ideas between politics, business, and science, with optimism about shaping change and taking action
This weekend, SPIE Photonics West, the world’s leading event for lasers, biomedical optics, optoelectronics, biophotonics, quantum technology, and image processing, kicks off in San Francisco, California, USA. The CiS Research Institute will be represented in the extensive conference program with two presentations on technologies for manufacturing quantum computers and high-speed NDIR gas sensors
A new approach to diagnosing equine asthma and monitoring the therapies initiated is the goal of the newly launched research project between the CiS Research Institute and fzmb GmbH (Research Center for Medical Technology and Biotechnology). It is based on an NDIR sensor in combination with a special breathing mask
VACOM wins the Thuringian Innovation Award 2025 and sets new technological standards with its new miniaturized vacuum sensor CASSINI. The scientific and technological basis for the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) was laid in joint research projects with the CiS Research Institute
In the KTB project, various programs were combined into a complex simulation tool for the development of high-precision and long-term stable pressure sensors in order to simulate the characteristic curves of MEMS components, enabling a continuous simulation process
Yesterday in Chemnitz, five young researchers were honored with the prestigious Silicon Science Award 2025. The award ceremony took place during the opening ceremony of Waferbond
The new “ZEBA” research project is investigating image-property relationships and developing an AI-supported process flow that can be integrated into the manufacturing process and provides non-destructive information about the expected burst pressure of individual chips
Prof. Thomas Ortlepp, Managing Director of the CiS Research Institute, was also impressed by the city of the future, which was still a fishing village 40 years ago and has since developed into a high-tech metropolis. He was invited to give the opening speech at the 4th Sensor and Application Technology Conference and, in his keynote address entitled “Innovations in industrial sensor technologies,” provided an overview of current development trends in silicon-based microsensor technology
COMPAMED, a leading international trade fair for medical suppliers, begins today in Düsseldorf. The CiS Research Institute will be represented at the IVAM joint booth in Hall 8a, Booth F35-2. Until Thursday, 20th November 2025, experts in the medical supply sector will come together to present components for medical devices and equipment and discuss high-tech solutions
