Three different presentations, two testbeds, “Cabbage Coding”, and “Who smells faster—the nose or the sensor?”—that was SyMoCADS' contribution to the Long Night of Science 2025. Despite the somewhat remote location, we were delighted to welcome numerous visitors and have many interesting interaction...

Nano-networks and molecular signals: the communication of tomorrow Bacteria, organs, and insects communicate via chemical signals. Those who understand this language can eavesdrop on biological systems, influence them, and replicate them completely—an interdisciplinary challenge with fascinating ne...

Since 2018, “Women in Science-Erlangen Symposium” at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg has been bringing together female scientists at different stages of their careers for a lively exchange. This unique symposium, organized by a committee composed solely of female doctoral and...

As part of this year’s Ferienakademie, which took place across several locations in the Sarntal Alps, SyMoCADS members hosted their course at the Murrer Hof. The course, titled “Building the Internet of Cells with Synthetic Molecular Communication,” was held from September 21 to October 3, 2025, and...

Our Mercator Fellow – Prof. Yansha Deng – a member of the Department of Engineering at King’s College London has been awarded a £1.3 Million Starting Grant from the European Research Council to develop devices that can compute and communicate without using electrical signals. The aim of the resea...

Prof. Robert Schober gave a talk in the FAU seminar series “Collegium Alexandrinum” on the topic “Natürliche Kommunikationsprozesse nutzbar machen: Synthetische molekulare Kommunikation.” In his talk, he outlined the fundamentals of synthetic molecular communication (MC) and how natural signaling ca...
