Typical heat flow sensors operate according to the Seebeck effect. The new development from the CiS Research Institute, based on temperature diodes connected in series, significantly increases the signal amplitude. These sensors are considerably cheaper to manufacture and can also measure absolute temperatures
ENFORCE TAC, Germany’s leading trade fair for security and defense, will kick off in Nuremberg on 23rd February 2026. The CiS Research Institute will be represented for the first time with a stand in Hall 6, Stand 6-215, the joint stand of LEG Thüringen, showcasing relevant development results such as a mobile vital sensor system, customer-specific photodiode modules for laser warning systems, a retrofit kit for non-invasive pressure measurement, and sensors for belt tension monitoring
From 17th-19th February 2026, the 21st “Trento” Workshop on Advanced Silicon Radiation Detectors will take place in Perugia, Italy. The CiS Research Institute will be represented there with a contribution on improving low gain avalanche detectors (LGAD) in terms of sensitivity to low-energy electrons
The development is part of the ongoing joint funding project “MoViSEG” (ZIM, #KK5085707DF4) between partners KORA Industrie-Elektronik GmbH and CiS Forschungsinstitut für Mikrosensorik GmbH. The system is designed to combine an optical-digital in-ear sensor unit with a lightweight control and transmission unit attached to the helmet
On 29th January 2026, around 40 students from the “Am Schwemmbach” cooperative comprehensive school in Erfurt visited the CiS Research Institute for Microsensor Technology to explore the world of scientific and technical professions
In the completed NivLer project, the CiS Research Institute developed a non-invasive retrofit solution for monitoring pipe systems in industry. The retrofittable sensor supports data-based maintenance optimization through early detection of wear and tear and is also suitable for use in areas with high hygiene requirements, such as pharmaceutical and food production
“Promoting ideas – strengthening locations” was the motto at Haus Dacheröden on 15th January 2026. This year’s kick-off event for VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH focused on the book “Land of Powerlessness” by Dr. Robert Peters. His presentation kicked off an inspiring exchange of ideas between politics, business, and science, with optimism about shaping change and taking action
This weekend, SPIE Photonics West, the world’s leading event for lasers, biomedical optics, optoelectronics, biophotonics, quantum technology, and image processing, kicks off in San Francisco, California, USA. The CiS Research Institute will be represented in the extensive conference program with two presentations on technologies for manufacturing quantum computers and high-speed NDIR gas sensors
A new approach to diagnosing equine asthma and monitoring the therapies initiated is the goal of the newly launched research project between the CiS Research Institute and fzmb GmbH (Research Center for Medical Technology and Biotechnology). It is based on an NDIR sensor in combination with a special breathing mask
