Researchers led by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg and the Center for Bioinformatics at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany, have developed a cheaper and faster method to check for genetic differences in individual cells, which outperforms existing techniques with respect to the information received. This new method…
The idea is based on a computer science research project at Saarland University and is already supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy through an EXIST start-up grant. By tinkering with cardboard animals equipped with sensors that can be programmed via a mini-computer, children can be introduced…
More and more people want to be able to adapt their working hours to their individual needs and choose their jobs accordingly. Dynamic and flexible schedules could help, but rarely do. The people in charge of these schedules are quickly overwhelmed, and existing computer programs are not helping enough. This…
2.93 trillion US dollars’ worth of transactions were carried out in online retailing worldwide in 2018. So-called security protocols form the foundation for this. Christoph Weidenbach, computer science professor at Saarland University and head of a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, made a scientific contribution to…
For the third time, students of computer science at Saarland University are taking part in the international "Hour of Code" campaign, which traditionally takes place every year in the second week of December. In order to enable children to try out programming for a whole hour, this year the students…
