Numerous research, development, and manufacturing processes must take place in particle-free environments. Sometimes, additional areas with even lower particle concentrations are necessary within these cleanrooms to protect particularly sensitive products. How can these production environments be im…
Whether for clamping, suction, or transportation: The multi-stage vacuum generators of the ZL series from SMC are the first choice industry-wide for pick-and-place applications – and now make them even safer and more efficient thanks to IO-Link expansion. Combined with high suction performance and l…
Air handling in isolators takes up a considerable amount of space with boxy units and great lengths of piping. "In-air" isolators from Syntegon eliminate the need for traditional air handling solutions by integrating the technology into the plenum of the isolator.
Air handling technology plays an imp…
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…
Emerson has introduced the new Branson™ GLX-1 laser welding machine, which offers users the flexibility needed to meet the increasing demand for small, complex, and delicate components and assemblies. Due to its small footprint and modular design, the device is suitable for cleanrooms according to I…
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…
Artificial Intelligence as an Assistant in the Podcast Jungle, in Escape Games for Recruiting, and in Creative Work for Instagram – these are the winning projects of the first AI Communication Award. A student also explored how AI influences brand communication. The awards have now been presented in…
The textile service provider Mewa is expanding its location in Meissenheim. In direct proximity to the existing company buildings, Mewa is constructing an additional laundry for the maintenance of cleanroom textiles. The completion of construction is planned for the third quarter of 2025. With the e…
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…
The Stuttgart University Hospital has consolidated its expertise in the treatment of cancer patients in the new building of the Stuttgart Cancer Center – Eva Mayr Stihl Tumor Center. In addition to an oncological day clinic, the lung cancer center, and the Department of Nuclear Medicine and parts of…
