Quantum technologies are increasingly pushing into industrial applications at a faster and faster pace. Development in some areas is progressing so quickly that the demand for skilled professionals cannot be met by graduates from universities. To enable working professionals to qualify at an academi…

Laser, microprocessor, or smartphone work thanks to quantum mechanics. Many quantum phenomena have now been understood by research. The insights will lead to the development of further technologies. To develop them, experts who are familiar with the subject are needed. The Erasmus Mundus Master's pr…

Quantum computers offer significant advantages over classical, digital computers in processing speed. This is particularly important when solving optimization problems, which involve calculating complex issues such as logistics processes. To harness this potential, the Federal Ministry of Education…

A student team from the Technical University of Kaiserslautern (TUK) convinced the jury with their method at the international iGEM competition (International Genetically Engineered Machine): They received a gold medal and were nominated in the "Foundational Advance" category for the best project. T…

Under extreme environmental conditions such as heat, drought, or high salt concentrations, organisms switch to stress mode to protect themselves. Similar reaction routines occur within the cells of fungi, plants, animals, and humans. But what fundamental principles underlie these processes, and what…

With the InnoVET project BM=X³ funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, training and further education in micro- and nanotechnology (MNT) are being elevated to a new level. BM=X³ stands for vocational education in micro- and nanotechnology through excellent careers, excellent learni…

Fluid should flow resistance-free through narrow pipes, such as in production facilities. This is usually achieved through applied coatings. A research team at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern (TUK) is now rethinking the flow behavior: The starting point is an additional, internally locate…

The "Cleanroom Technology" internship in the 4th semester of the degree programs in Pharmaceutical Technology and Food, Nutrition, Hygiene (Elective Focus: Hygiene) currently includes experiments on topics such as cleanroom hygiene and clothing, as well as measurements related to cleanroom technolog…

Are algae the superfood and active ingredient suppliers of the future? Under the direction of Professor Carola Griehl, researchers at the Competence Center Algal Biotechnology at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences have been working on this question for many years. On May 27, 2021 the Anhalt Unive…

To advance digitalization, the next generation of mobile communication standards, 6G, is indispensable. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding a consortium with 17 partners ("Open6GHub") that is working on 6G standards and processes. Over the next four years, it will provid…
