Labs

The Collaborative Research Centre CRC 1261 “Magnetoelectric Sensors: From Composite Materials to Biomagnetic Diagnostics”, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and running until mid-2028, brings together interdisciplinary expertise to advance the development of next-generation magnetic sensor technologies.

Within this framework, the laboratories play a central role in bridging fundamental research and real-world application. They provide researchers with a controlled yet realistic environment to design, test, and refine novel magnetic sensor systems under conditions that closely resemble practical use cases.

The laboratory infrastructure is specifically tailored to support the experimental validation of innovative sensing approaches. This includes the investigation of sensor performance, sensitivity, and robustness in scenarios relevant to biomagnetic diagnostics. By enabling hands-on experimentation, the labs allow scientists to systematically explore how new technologies behave beyond theoretical models and simulations.

A key objective of these facilities is to accelerate the translation of magnetoelectric sensor concepts into viable diagnostic tools. By recreating application-oriented conditions, the laboratories help to identify challenges early in the development process and contribute to the optimization of sensor systems for future medical use.

Through this integrated approach, the CRC 1261 laboratories contribute significantly to advancing biomagnetic sensing technologies and paving the way for improved, non-invasive diagnostic methods.
