The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS is expanding its leadership team: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wenke Weinreich has been appointed the institute’s second director, effective immediately. In her new role, she will be working alongside Institute Director Prof. Dr.-Ing. Harald Schenk and guidi…
– PSI physicist Giacomo Sala receives approximately CHF 2.2 million from the European Research Council (ERC).
– In the Q-GEOMSPIN project, he is bringing together two research areas that up to now have largely been studied separately.
– This fundamental research could lead to more energy-efficient dat…
On 21st July 2026, IHP - Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics and Chile's Advanced Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (AC3E) announced a three-year collaboration to promote open-source semiconductor technologies, design tools and manufacturing.
The cooperation bridges…
The IHP – Leibniz Institute for Innovative Microelectronics and the Technical University of Wildau celebrated the 20th anniversary of their joint lab today at IHP in Frankfurt (Oder). The event demonstrated how long-term collaboration between non-university research and universities in Brandenburg s…
Many companies are experimenting with digital solutions. But often, it remains at individual pilot projects with questionable benefits. In a white paper, a team of authors from Fraunhofer IPA therefore shows how companies can implement digitalization projects step by step with a clear goal.

Optical quantum chips are considered key components of future communication and computer technologies. Their production has so far been complex because the sources needed for individual particles of light – so-called semiconductor quantum dots – formed randomly on the chip and initially had to be lo…
Thanks to AI, machine data becomes accessible to everyone: A research team at the Fraunhofer IPA is working on a generative artificial intelligence system that allows employees to query production and machine data via chat. It visualizes complex data and thus simplifies analysis in everyday work.

Affordable medicine, rising energy costs, and dependence on strategic raw-material sources make new materials central to many questions. Traditional materials development is time-consuming and often takes years. Fraunhofer ISC is therefore pursuing accelerated development approaches - “Materials Acc…
Lasers for space applications, power transistors for energy-efficient electronics, or components for quantum systems – all these developments originate in materials technology. This is where ultrathin semiconductor layer stacks with precisely defined properties are created. Using metal-organic vapor…
The Fraunhofer Institute for Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP has received regulatory approval to conduct activities at biosafety level 2. The laboratory complex thus opens up new research and testing opportunities for industry and project partners. This approval marks an important milestone…
