From the former "Project Group for Automation in Medicine and Biotechnology (PAMB)" has evolved over ten years into "Clinical Health Technologies" at Fraunhofer IPA, Mannheim. The renaming reflects how the focus of the 20-member interdisciplinary team of researchers has shifted during this time: awa…

Nanoparticles are omnipresent in our environment: Viruses in ambient air, proteins in the body, as building blocks of new materials for electronics, or in surface coatings. Visualizing these smallest particles is a problem: They are so small that they can hardly be seen under an optical microscope…

Anyone who wants to use hydrogen as an energy source needs electrolysers. However, they are rare and expensive because they are still largely manufactured by hand. To enable mass production on an industrial scale in the future, a research team from Fraunhofer IPA is currently developing a fully auto…

Medical Technology, Photonics, Photovoltaics: In numerous application fields, microstructured component surfaces contribute to the functionality of high-tech products. Setting up the machines for these ultra-precise manufacturing processes often requires years of experience and specialized expertise…

This week, at the 2021 International Electron Devices Meeting (IEEE IEDM 2021), imec, a world-leading research and innovation center in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, presents the successful co-integration of high-performance Schottky barrier diodes and depletion-mode HEMTs on a p-GaN HEM…

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…

Colon cancer often progresses to a fatal stage in its late stages. Therefore, new therapeutic approaches are necessary. A research team from TU Kaiserslautern led by toxicologist Prof. Dr. Jörg Fahrer has succeeded in identifying the active compound Devimistat as a drug candidate that can improve co…

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…

- Donation helps in the development of new technologies
- State-of-the-art pump technology in use with the scanning electron microscope
- Reduction of CO2 footprint

Young researchers from various disciplines utilize the infrastructure and opportunities of the Schülerforschungszentrum Nordhessen (SFN) 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…
