Advanced UV for Life
“Advanced UV for Life” – this is the name of the consortium that will open up innovative applications of UV light in medicine, water treatment, production technology and sensor technology in the future. The interdisciplinary consortium of 8 research institutions and 14 industrial companies is one of the 10 winners in the Twenty20 competition, which is part of the high-tech strategy of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). This was announced by Federal Minister Johanna Wanka at a press conference
Young scientist honored with Silicon Science Award
Four young researchers from Nordhausen, Dresden, Ilmenau and Berlin are pleased to receive the Silicon Science Award this year. This award recognizes outstanding work in the fields of sensor technology and photovoltaics, preferably done in conjunction with industry
20 years of success with silicon
CiS Forschungsinstitut für Mikrosensorik und Photovoltaik GmbH is celebrating its 20th anniversary these days. Originating in 1993 from the Erfurt microelectronics department, the institute has today developed into a renowned, business-oriented research institution
Ear biofeedback system – one step closer to personalized medicine
Vital parameter measurement and biofeedback therapy – combined in one ear device. The basis of the ear biofeedback system is the analysis of vital parameters measured at the ear
Multisensor technology supports diagnosis and therapy of normal-tension glaucoma
The time-synchronous measurement of ECG and PPG should enable the screening of vascular dysregulation with a good sensitivity and, above all, a very high specificity. By using modern low-power electronics and resource-saving technologies of microsystems engineering, a solution was created that enables mobile monitoring of vital parameters, e.g. in outpatient use
Innovations from Thuringia – Silicon-based radiation detectors in search of dark matter
After the discovery of the Higgs elementary particle in 2012, CERN researchers are snatching more secrets from space. With radiation detectors from the CiS Research Institute, new clues have been discovered in the search for dark matter. Scientists and engineers at CiS Forschungsinstitut für Mikrosensorik und Photovoltaik GmbH work in Erfurt on highly specialized silicon detectors for the international nuclear research elite at CERN (Geneva)
Sensitive light hunter
Together with the company UST Umweltsensortechnik GmbH from Geschwenda, the CiS Research Institute for Microsensors and Photovoltaics has developed a modular chemiluminescence detector (CLD) for nitrogen oxides, especially NO2
NOBIS sensor system for edge detection
NOBIS is a completely new concept in sensor technology. The integrated programming platform allows customer-specific solutions to be implemented as quickly as possible. The freely programmable sensor software enables a wide range of applications
Sensor for tactile detection of properties of functional surfaces
The micro silicon probe, manufactured at the CiS Research Institute, with a mass of only a few micrograms, has a high dynamic range. Equipped with a fast digital interface, the tactile probe easily acquires the measured values in a few minutes
Optoelectronic and micromechanical sensors for medical technology and bioanalytics
At the IVAM product market “High-tech for Medical Devices” the CiS Research Institute shows new results from research and development in the field of medical microsystems technology
