- Utilising active microparticles for artificial intelligenceArtificial intelligence with neural networks performs calculations digitally with the help of microelectronic chips. Physicists at Leipzig University have now realised a form of neural network that works not with electricity but with so-called active colloidal particles.
- Achieving sustainable feed proteins with “REPLACER”In the REPLACER project, researchers are developing so-called hybrid living materials. The focus is on producing microbial proteins with a low carbon footprint, high acceptance and affordable costs – by using greenhouse gases. The long-term goal: sustainable production of feed proteins. An example of applied research with great transfer potential. The Research and Transfer Centre…
- Publication in Nature by researchers from Dresden and LeipzigRepelling disorder: What makes cholesterol-containing surfaces so repulsive? https://www.uni-leipzig.de/en/newsdetail/artikel/repelling-disorder-what-makes-cholesterol-containing-surfaces-so-repulsive-2023-06-22
- Leipzig research team develops process for bio-based nylonElectrons and microbes are the decisive factor in this Until now, nylon has been produced from petroleum-based raw materials. However, this is quite harmful to the environment because non-renewable fossil resources are used, a great deal of energy is required, and climate-damaging nitrous oxide is emitted during production. A research team from the Helmholtz Centre…
