– With the addition of camelina crops to Bayer’s portfolio, Bayer expands its leadership position in biomass-based feed…

In order for future laser fusion power plants to work efficiently and reliably, current laser technologies must be adapted to the extreme requirements of high power and continuous operation. In the new "nanoAR" research project, nine project partners from industry and research are working on methods…

The EQUSPACE consortium (Enabling New Quantum Frontiers with Spin Acoustics in Silicon) has received 3.2 million euros from the European Innovation Council's (EIC) Pathfinder Open funding program to advance the development of silicon-based quantum technologies. In addition to the Helmholtz-Zentrum D…

The TU Berlin InnoCube satellite makes spaceflight history: It is the first satellite to perform all its internal data traffic wirelessly via radio. The new technology reduces weight and sources of error and opens up entirely new possibilities for satellite integration and development. On Tuesday, J…

Semiconductor manufacturing is on a growth trajectory. How is the best way to implement the cleanrooms required for it?

Whether smartphones, pacemakers, industrial robots, or alarm systems: many modern products rely on microchips. To ensure error-free operation, chip production takes place in cleanr…
