Christian Koos, Matthias Lauermann, and Philipp-Immanuel Dietrich have achieved key advances in optical data transmission. Now the researchers from #KITKarlsruhe and two of its spin-off companies have been nominated for the Deutscher Zukunftspreis. 👏

Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft@helmholtz.de · 3w ago

🏆 Ein @kit.edu -Team ist für den Deutschen #Zukunftspreis 2026 nominiert. Christian Koos, Philipp Dietrich und Matthias Lauermann haben ein 3D-Druckverfahren entwickelt, das winzige optische Bauteile präzise verbindet – für schnelle und energieeffiziente Datenübertragung mit Licht.

Im ersten Bild stehen drei Personen frontal nebeneinander in einem modernen Innenraum mit großen Glasflächen, Metallstützen und Tageslicht. Links trägt eine Person einen grau karierten Anzug mit blauem Hemd und dunkelblauer Krawatte. In der Mitte steht eine Person mit kurzem weißem Haar, runder Brille, dunkelblauem Anzug, weißem Hemd und grauer Krawatte. Rechts trägt eine Person mit kurzem braunem Haar, Bart und dunkler Brille einen dunkelblauen Anzug, ein hellblaues Hemd und eine braun gemusterte Krawatte. Alle drei blicken zur Kamera. Das zweite Bild zeigt die weißhaarige Person etwa ab Brusthöhe vor einem technischen Aufbau. Sie trägt ein hellblaues Hemd und eine runde Brille und blickt leicht lächelnd in die Kamera. Im Hintergrund verlaufen verschiedenfarbige Kabel zwischen Metallteilen und technischen Komponenten.

Nanometer-sized " #soccer balls" made of #plutonium: Researchers at #KITKarlsruhe and the Joint Research Center Karlsruhe elucidate the structure of novel spherical cage molecules made of plutonium and, in the process, solve an 80-year-old cold case. #NuclearWasteDisposal www.kit.edu/kit/english/...

Structural comparison: The 60 plutonium atoms form a cage with an unusual geometry. The arrangement of the 32 panels in the soccer ball corresponds to the structure of a truncated icosahedron, as in C60 (right), while that of the black superstructure corresponds to the truncated dodecahedron topology of Pu60 (left).
