Tune in: Max Lemme in RWTH podcast

A new episode of the RWTH podcast 🎙️“Auf den Punkt gebracht – Mehr wissen aus der RWTH”🎙️ is now online — a series that presents topics from across the university in a compact and easy‑to‑understand format.

🔬 The first episode highlights the RWTH Profile Area Materials Science & Engineering (MatSE) — one of nine interdisciplinary research clusters at RWTH Aachen University, bringing together researchers from multiple faculties to develop materials for future technologies. (Profile Areas of RWTH Aachen University)

🎙️ From minute 14:08, Prof. Max Lemme (AMO GmbH / Lehrstuhl für Elektronische Bauelemente (ELD) joins the discussion:

🧠 He talks about the NeuroSys Cluster, where researchers explore new ways of building computers inspired by the human brain — aiming for far more energy‑efficient architectures that are crucial for future AI applications. He explains why today’s AI systems require enormous energy resources and how new materials and device concepts are needed to enable such next‑generation chips.

🧩 He also touches on TRR404 Active-3D and its role in developing innovative material systems and integration approaches.
Listeners also get exclusive audio impressions from inside AMO’s cleanroom — yes, you can actually hear the environment where advanced nanofabrication takes place. 😊

The episode is engaging and easy to follow — even if you're not deep into materials science. 😉

📌 Note: The episode is in German.
