The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS develops and manufactures individual heatable test chips for the characterization of new gas sensor materials. Deposited sensing layers and their application-specific parameters, such as sensitivity and selectivity, can thus be specifically eva…
Tests on living cell cultures are becoming increasingly important for personalized medicine, drug development and clinical research. The Aachen-based Fraunhofer Institutes for Laser Technology ILT and for Production Technology IPT have developed an AI-assisted high-throughput process that now makes…
A team of international scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, and the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) collaborated on an experiment to optimise high-intensity high-repetition rate laser technology using machine learning. The…
As part of the EU project REGENEU, a Turkish delegation visited the cleanrooms of the University Hospital Würzburg (UKW) and received training from Privatdozent Dr. Oliver Pullig and his team on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
How do I put on a cleanroom suit without touching the floor? What should…
The technology leader AT&S already holds almost 800 patents and was giving an insight into its R&D departments in Leoben at the “Long Night of Research” on May 24, 2024. But some things remain top secret: the new research center and Europe’s first substrate plant recently installed a h…
Imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, and Sarcura GmbH, an Austrian early-stage technology start-up, present their proof-of-concept on-chip flow cytometer using integrated photonics. Published on 20th May 2024 in Scientific Reports, part of th…
Nucleic acid-based medications such as mRNA vaccines offer tremendous potential for medicine and are opening up new therapeutic approaches. These active ingredients must be enclosed inside nanoparticles to ensure that they get to where they are needed inside the body’s cells. The Fraunhofer Instit…
Scientists at TU Berlin have, for the first time, created a model of the liver using 3D bioprinting from human cells, without relying on materials of animal origin. This achievement is an important step towards biomedical research and education that fully relies on methods free of animal suffering…
Many new drug candidates end up failing because they cause serious side effects in clinical trials even though lab tests involving cell cultures have been successful. This is a common occurrence if the cells used come from animal tissue, for example. Specially prepared cell cultures made from human…
On April 18, 2024, a large-scale experiment to detect dark matter was inaugurated in Italy. COSINUS is an international research project in which a team from the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) is also involved.
The nature of dark matter is still one of the great questions of modern physics…
