The INM at LOPEC: Custom Functional Inks for Printed Electronics

Printed electronics is a true all-rounder. It adapts to irregular surfaces, bends effortlessly, can be applied to a wide range of materials, and is cost-effective to manufacture. Without printed electronics and the inks used in the process, many high-tech applications would not be possible. From February 26 to 27, the INM – Leibniz Institute for […]

Acer I-Seed: the first eco-friendly fluorescent artificial seed for monitoring soil temperature by using drones

They look and function like maple seeds and can measure important environmental parameters without electricity or environmentally harmful components. The sensors, called ‘Acer I-Seed,’ are 3D-printed using biocompatible and compostable materials, developed at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genoa in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute for New Materials (INM) in Saarbrücken. The I-Seed project […]

INM researcher constructs artificial cells to decode camouflage strategies of cancer cells

The immune system not only protects our body from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses but also defends it against the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. Unfortunately, some cancer cells can outsmart the immune system, altering themselves in a way that prevents detection as a threat. In a six-year research project, Oskar Staufer, a junior researcher group leader at the INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken, aims to decipher the camouflage strategies of cancer cells using newly developed materials. The German Research Foundation (DFG) has granted him €2.4 million from the Emmy Noether programme to realize his project.
