RNA-based medicines and treatment methods open up a new dimension in modern medicine. Despite their potential, RNA-based therapies are faced with major challenges: The instability of RNA and its rapid degradation in the body, combined with the necessity of ultra-cold storage or encapsulation, mean t…
From 2035, the Einstein Telescope will be able to study gravitational waves with unprecedented accuracy. For the telescope, researchers from Jena have manufactured highly sensitive sensors made entirely of glass for the first time.
Gravitational waves are distortions of space-time caused by extreme a…
Laser-driven fusion power plants are considered a key technology on the road to climate neutrality. Highly reflective and thermally stable mirror systems are crucial for these fusion power plants in order to transport the laser light from the beam source to the tiny capsule of fusion fuel. In the ne…
The year 2025 begins promisingly – the new Fraunhofer Center of Excellence for Single-Cell Technologies LZ-EZT starts operations on January 1st. It aims to become a central contact point in the bio-med-tech Gravitational Center Rhein-Main/Rhein-Neckar, creating innovative, needs-based solutions in…
Researchers at the Center for Life Sciences at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have for the first time identified structural changes in the botulinum neurotoxin, botox for short, that are believed to be crucial for its uptake into nerve cells. This could mean that the paralysing effect of this poten…
On Friday, December 13, 2024, State Secretary Tobias Gotthardt from the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs visited the Würzburg Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC and the Fraunhofer Project Center for Stem Cell Process Technology. The appointment had been scheduled for some time. It…
The pilot line for “Advanced Packaging and Heterogeneous Integration for Electronic Components and Systems” (APECS) marks a major leap forward in strengthening Europe’s semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and chiplet innovation as part of the EU Chips Act. By providing large industry play…
Fraunhofer IAF is expanding its technological capabilities in the field of III-V compound semiconductors, making a valuable contribution to the development of the APECS pilot line within the framework of the EU Chips Act. The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism is con…
Based on an industry-oriented competence portfolio, the Fraunhofer Institute for Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP in Dresden offers a broad spectrum of scalable research and development opportunities. Our mission is to apply our technological innovation potential for novel production processe…
The Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS in Chemnitz was joined today by guests from government and industry in celebrating the opening of its new “Innovation Office” at the “TechBase” innovation and start-up center in Regensburg, Germany. The move creates ideal conditions f…
