Stem cell therapies offer enormous potential for personalized treatment of degenerative and tumor-related diseases. With the recently launched research project »RauPE« (Robust Automated Production of Therapeutically Applicable Extracellular Vesicles), the goal is to automate the production of these…

In order to make quantum computers usable, developing the control technology is at least as important for scaled systems, yet it is still in its infancy. Project ARCTIC brings together 36 international partners from industry, academia and leading RTOs to establish a complete and comprehensive Europe…

In the “Cluster4Future” QSens of the Universities of Stuttgart and Ulm, scientists, companies and start-ups are researching quantum sensors with a wide range of potential applications. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding QSens for a further three years as part of “Clusters4Futu…

Current approaches to cancer therapy rely on modifying the body's own cells to trigger selective immune responses against cancer cells after reintroduction into the patient. Researchers at Fraunhofer IPA have developed a sterile connection element that could simplify the manufacturing process of mod…

Transforming old textiles into new, high-quality materials on a large scale – this is the focus of a new innovation project by eeden, the Textile Logistics Center of Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, the Fraunhofer IML, and Hohenstein Innovations gGmbH (HI).

The project aims to promote the…

Fraunhofer researchers have developed a method of creating biogenic construction materials based on cyanobacteria. The bacteria multiply in a nutrient solution, driven by photosynthesis. When aggregates and fillers such as sand, basalt, or renewable raw materials are added, rock-like solid structure…

Hydrogen generated with the power of the sun could largely replace fossil fuels in the future, helping to lower carbon emissions. In the Neo-PEC joint research project, Fraunhofer specialists have developed a tandem module that is self-sufficient and reliable at producing solar-generated green hydro…

The BIOSYNTH project is funded by the Fraunhofer Society and aims to develop a new microchip platform that enables efficient and digitally controllable cell-free biosynthesis. The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS leads the consortium and collaborates with the Institute for Toxicol…

Citizen scientists can collect micrometeorites from their rooftops and identify them with some practice using a light microscope. The most experienced among them have now, together with a team of researchers from TU Berlin and the Museum of Natural History in Berlin, as well as other international s…

As part of the Fraunhofer Center for Sensor Intelligence ZSI, the intelligent and flexible ultrasonic sensor system “SonoOne” was developed according to the modular principle. “SonoOne” can serve the rapidly developing ultrasound market, especially in the field of portable systems, with innovative a…
