Welcome to KIT News.
How does the hip joint of a crawling beetle move?
At KIT, researchers at the Synchrotron Radiation Source Anker have
developed a process for recording 3D X-ray films.
The process shapes the inner dynamic movement.
From up to 100,000 two-dimensional X-ray images per second, they can
create entire 3D film sequences in real time or in slow motion.
Their results have been published in the professional magazine
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The Nanoscribe GmbH, a spin-off of KIT, received the PRISM Award in
2014.
With the renowned award, the International Society for Optics and
Photonics awards outstanding innovations in photonics every year.
Nanoscribe received the award for a printer based on 3D laser
lithography, which produces tiny objects in the shortest possible
time.
In addition, the company also develops tailor-made photo lacquers.
In 2007, Nanoscribe was the first KIT to be founded and has now
established itself as a market leader in 3D laser lithography.
KIT's innovative AirWriting system uses gestures as input.
Instead of typing messages over a small keyboard, the user can simply
type the words into the air.
A possible application would be a sensor bracelet on the wrist that
records hand movements.
A computer system then translates these into text.
On July 16, 2014, this year's KIT Summer Festival will take place.
As already last year, all employees and employees with their families
as well as all students will be invited.
With the festival, the Presidium thanks its employees for their good
cooperation last year.
It starts at 4 p.m.

Thank you for watching.
See you next time.
