The management university Kühne Logistics University (KLU) based in Hamburg has successfully opened its new campus in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Nearly 30 students took up their studies on the campus of KLU’s partner - Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT). Teaching is hosted at KLU’s partner institution, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), while KLU’s representative office is based in the prestigious Deutsches Haus, also home to the German Consulate General, the German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK), the Goethe Institute, and several other renowned German organizations and companies.
At an awards ceremony held on September 18, 2025 in Düsseldorf, Dr. Jingyuan Xu from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was honored with the “For Women in Science” sponsorship award in recognition of her pioneering research into environmentally friendly cooling technologies. Together with three other female scientists from Germany, she received the EUR 25,000 award, which is offered by L’Oréal, the German Commission for UNESCO, and the German Humboldt Network. Since its launch in 1998, the programme’s goal has been to raise the visibility of excellent women in science worldwide.
Researchers from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Southern University of Science and Technology have developed a novel deep learning neural network, Electrode Net. By introducing signed distance fields and three-dimensional convolutional neural networks, this method can significantly accelerate electrode design while maintaining high accuracy. It is widely applicable to fuel cells, water electrolyzers, flow batteries, etc.
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has proven transformative for fabricating electrically conductive polymer nanocomposites that incorporate carbon nanotubes. However, existing methods struggle to achieve high stretchability while maintaining electrical conductivity, limiting practical applicability. Now, researchers from Korea have developed highly stretchable carbon nanotube-nanocomposites, optimized specifically for vat photopolymerization type 3D printing. Using these materials, they also developed a wearable smart-insole sensing platform for real-time foot pressure monitoring.
