The sensors work on the calorimetric principle and several designs were tested under different flow conditions. The aim is to detect stall (sudden loss of lift on the airplane wing), immediately when it occurs.<br />We would like to thank Jurij Sodja and the team at the High Speed Lab, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft for their collaboration and support during these tests and look forward to continuing this successful partnership within the UP Wing project.</p> Content content-689063 Fri, 17 Oct 2025 14:59:14 +0200 https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/imsas/news#c689063 <p>For the final summer school of the FOR3022 Research Group, we came together once again in the Hanseatic city of Bremen from the 30th of September to the 2nd of October.</p> <p>The second day was dedicated to the world of microtechnology and started with a lecture by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Björn Lüssem about cleanroom technology. Right after lunch, the theory was put into practice with a workshop inside the IMSAS cleanroom, guided by Melanie Kirsch, where we gained hands-on experience in photolithography and wet-chemical structuring of metallic thin films on a wafer. To demonstrate how small micrometer scale is, we examined structures fabricated using 2-photon polymerization first with the bare eye, then with the incident light microscope and finally revealed the structures using the scanning electron microscope (SEM), with all steps very well explained and carried out by Dipl.-Ing. Eva-Maria Meyer.</p> Content content-681512 Wed, 17 Sep 2025 17:33:02 +0200 https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/imsas/news#c681512 <p>Nicole Hintz has won the “Best Poster – First Prize” with her poster “MEMS Fabricated Structures for Optical Analysis of DNA Molecules” at the IEEE Biosensors Conference that took place in San Diego (USA) from August 2 to 5. In the poster, Nicole describes how she realized funnel inlets to nanochannels by a grey-scale lithography method. The funnel inlet should allow DNA molecules to easily enter the nanochannel in which they can be analyzed. Nicole is employed at the Bosch Research Campus in Renningen, Germany in the group of Dr. Martina Hübner, and a doctoral candidate at IMSAS – Uni Bremen in the research group of Prof. Michael Vellekoop.</p> <p>We congratulate Nicole Hintz and the whole team with the award!</p> Content
