Smart Shoes
Research on possible mechanisms according to requirements of shoe comfort and physiological effects.Damping and stiffness of shoes influence comfort on the one hand and efficiency of movement on the other hand. Shoes with remote control of damping and stiffness will be developed to widen the suitable range of application - e.g. from a
BINAGO
Graphene – a monolayer of graphite – is regarded as the material of the future. This new material has recently been selected by the European Commission as one of the two EU “flagship”-projects and will be generously funded until 2020. In the context of BINAGO, different types of graphene- based biosensors will be developed for various appli
AQUILA: High Resolution Magnetic Field Position Sensors
State of the art positioning sensing is often done by means of magnetic scales and magnetic sensors. During the project AQUILA, this technology will be pushed forward to enter in the high resolution regime.The goal is a resolution limit well below 100nm. This target will be achieved by develo

Novel methods for the isolation of DNA
Existing methods for the isolation of DNA are expensive and elaborate and fail with DNA from difficult samples. Examples for difficult samples are fat containing food, soil samples or dried body fluids. DNA purified with established methods from such samples is unstable and can not be used in following amplif
