Typical heat flow sensors operate according to the Seebeck effect. The new development from the CiS Research Institute, based on temperature diodes connected in series, significantly increases the signal amplitude. These sensors are considerably cheaper to manufacture and can also measure absolute temperatures
ENFORCE TAC, Germany’s leading trade fair for security and defense, will kick off in Nuremberg on 23rd February 2026. The CiS Research Institute will be represented for the first time with a stand in Hall 6, Stand 6-215, the joint stand of LEG Thüringen, showcasing relevant development results such as a mobile vital sensor system, customer-specific photodiode modules for laser warning systems, a retrofit kit for non-invasive pressure measurement, and sensors for belt tension monitoring
The development is part of the ongoing joint funding project “MoViSEG” (ZIM, #KK5085707DF4) between partners KORA Industrie-Elektronik GmbH and CiS Forschungsinstitut für Mikrosensorik GmbH. The system is designed to combine an optical-digital in-ear sensor unit with a lightweight control and transmission unit attached to the helmet
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
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
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
The research project “SOS – Stray Light Suppression in Optical Sensor Assemblies” was launched with the aim of simulating and recording the occurrence and influence of stray light in miniaturized sensor assemblies and finding and evaluating methods for suppressing it. The figure shows a test vehicle consisting of a structured photodiode with a daylight filter and based on an assembly from a turbidity sensor
Under the motto “Change through Progress,” the MicroSystem Technology Congress 2025 kicks off today in Duisburg. At the 11th edition of the congress, the CiS Research Institute is presenting a selection of its research results in four posters from the fields of simulation, strain gauges, and IR emitters
Under the motto Key Technologies for Photonic Quantum Systems, scientists and engineers from research and industry discussed the challenges and potential of photonic quantum technologies on 22nd October 2025. This year’s CiS MOEMS Workshop in Erfurt offered all participants an excellent platform to intensively discuss findings from projects and industry, exchange experiences, and generate new ideas
