New research results or upcoming events: Stay up-to-date on what is happening at TUM.
An international team headed by physicists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has, for the first time ever, experimentally implemented secure quantum communication in the microwave band in a local quantum network. The new architecture represents a crucial step on the road to distributed quantum computing.
The video portrait of the Technical University Munich (TUM) "150 years culture of excellence" is image film of the year of the Munich Metropolitan Region. Director Dr. Clarissa Ruge and Chancellor Albert Berger received the award yesterday at the Sendlinger Tor Film Theatre.
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) is presenting the exhibition "Wonder Girls: Changing Our World" in its main building at Arcisstraße 21 in Munich.
Four research teams from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have received m4 Awards this year. The award will bring them two-year grants from the State of Bavaria to continue their fundamental biomedical research and found new companies. Two of the teams honored work on new therapies to fight cancer, while the other two teams are investigating medications against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
The roots of plants can do a lot of things: They grow in length to reach water, they can bend to circumvent stones, and they form fine root hairs enabling them to absorb more nutrients from the soil. A team of researchers led by scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now identified an important regulator of this process.
The aim of immunotherapies is to enable the immune system once again to fight cancer on its own. Drugs known as checkpoint inhibitors are already in clinical use for this purpose. However, they are only effective in about one third of patients. Based on analysis of human tissue samples, a team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now discovered one reason why this is so: an inactive receptor in cancer cells prevents the drugs from reactivating the immune system.
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) continues to attract talented young people. Approximately 13,800 new students have enrolled in about 170 degree programs offered in Munich, Garching, Freising, Straubing and Heilbronn. As a result, the total student body at TUM is up to a total of 42,000, with a record share of 32 percent from abroad.
Sensitive synthetic skin enables robots to sense their own bodies and surroundings – a crucial capability if they are to be in close contact with people. Inspired by human skin, a team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a system combining artificial skin with control algorithms and used it to create the first autonomous humanoid robot with full-body artificial skin.
With its agenda TUM.Additive, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is kicking off a comprehensive research focus on additive manufacturing. Together with high-tech partners in industry, TUM has founded the "Bavarian Additive Manufacturing Cluster" with the aim of establishing Bavaria as the prominent economic region for digital manufacturing technologies. TUM is now implementing the first milestone of its future strategy “TUM Agenda 2030”.
In attendance of Minister of State Dorothee Bär, Federal Government Commissioner for Digital Affairs, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) officially opened the TUM Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence today. At the event the new institute's first research projects at the interface of ethics and artificial intelligence (AI) were presented – in areas ranging from AI in autonomous vehicles to regulatory issues.
