On 29th January 2026, around 40 students from the “Am Schwemmbach” cooperative comprehensive school in Erfurt visited the CiS Research Institute for Microsensor Technology to explore the world of scientific and technical professions
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
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
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
The development of integrated circuits often requires multiple iterations. A rapid evaluation of the first prototypes provides insights into the functionality achieved and areas for improvement, and can significantly shorten development times. The CiS Research Institute has advanced assembly technologies and skilled experts to enable even complex test setups quickly and cost-effectively. This gives our partners a head start in developing new solutions. INOVA Semiconductors GmbH (Munich) recently took advantage of these opportunities
On 12th and 13th November 2025, the 24th Precision Fair will take place at the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The CiS Research Institute for Microsensor Technology will be exhibiting for the first time at the joint stand of LEG -Thüringen in hall 6, booth202
On 4th November 2025, the CiS Research Institute invited the public to an open dialogue in the historic ballroom of Erfurt City Hall under the motto “Understanding quantum technologies – popular rather than scientific.” Interested citizens enjoyed an informative introduction to the event with experiments and a welcome address from the city of Erfurt. Around 60 interested participants joined Prof. Thomas Ortlepp, Managing Director of the CiS Research Institute, on a journey into the quantum world and the development of quantum computers
