Nanodiag BW: towards a new generation of biosensors based on nanopores

Nanopores are channels with molecular dimensions. Used in biosensors, they can be used to characterize and distinguish individual molecules. The Cluster nanodiag BW has received major funding from the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research within the “Cluster4Future” initiative, with the goal of advancing nanopore technology for identifying epigenetic factors that influence diseases. AMO […]

Intelligence at the edge (i-EDGE): €4.5M project to build hardware platform for edge computing using nanomechanical relays

A consortium from industry and academia has been awarded €4.5M by the EU, UK and Switzerland to build a next-generation hardware platform for edge computing using nanomechanical relays. Computing at the edge of the network instead of transferring data to the cloud for processing can greatly improve efficiency, improve data security and reduce energy consumption. […]

Research Fab for quantum and neuromorphic computing: Launch of the Germany-wide cooperation FMD-QNC
