The Graduate College “Bioactive Peptides” researches the complex structures of peptides and their functions. The German Research Foundation approves the second phase and funds the research with 2.1 million euros.

In biochemistry and drug research, natural and synthetic peptides play a significant rol…

Whether in the automotive industry, medical technology, security systems, or smartphones: 3D cameras are increasingly widespread and versatile. A technology that is developing rapidly. As a forward-looking topic with high societal relevance, the necessary sensor technology is a central research area…

Hybrid labs can expand the limited resources of physical laboratories, which require space and financial means, by adding a virtual and digital component. The virtual HM laboratory for the study of micro- and nanotechnology allows students to perform dangerous experiments as well as handle expensive…

Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering IBMT have been working with international partners to develop a technology platform to help relieve the symptoms of muscle tremors. Tiny biocompatible electrodes in the muscles, combined with external electrodes and controllers, form…

During his visit to the Fraunhofer IAF on March 31, 2023, Baden-Württemberg State Secretary for Economic Affairs Dr. Patrick Rapp and the acting institute director Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Quay discussed industrial opportunities and cooperation possibilities in the field of quantum technologies. The visit…

The global COVID-19 pandemic has made this clearer than ever: one of the main challenges facing our society in the healthcare sector is the rapid development of new medicines and vaccines. In particular, there is a lack of effective and highly precise systems for analyzing antibody-based therapeutic…

Researchers at IHP - Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics have set a new world speed record. The circuit designed by the scientists in Frankfurt (Oder) can transmit data wirelessly at up to 200 gigabits per second. This surpasses the previous record, last published in 2019, which…

A first-of-its-kind collaboration in the consumer health industry is developing a platform aimed at reducing or replacing animal testing using “organ-on-chip” (OoC) technology and interactive computational software. The pilot project, supported by esqLABS, Dynamic42, Placenta Lab of Jena University…

Fraunhofer researchers have succeeded in using the bioresorbable silica gel Renacer® to produce an electrospun membrane that is neither cytotoxic to cells nor genotoxic. This model mimics fibrous structures found in connective tissue and is therefore particularly suitable for regenerative applicatio…

Novel materials could revolutionise computer technology. Research conducted by scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI using the Swiss Light Source SLS has reached an important milestone along this path.

Microchips are made from silicon and work on the physical principle of a semiconductor. Not…
