The Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences trains excellent professionals at the Zweibrücken campus in the Department of Computer Science and Microsystems Technology (IMST) for the growing semiconductor market.
Intel and Wolfspeed are just two names that, in connection with the construction of…
In light of the new version of Annex 1, which came into force in August 2023, many pharmaceutical manufacturers are facing the question whether they must invest in new equipment. However, in many cases upgrades are a good alternative, as the Danish company AJ Vaccines showed. Together with this cust…
Fraunhofer researchers have developed a method of creating biogenic construction materials based on cyanobacteria. The bacteria multiply in a nutrient solution, driven by photosynthesis. When aggregates and fillers such as sand, basalt, or renewable raw materials are added, rock-like solid structure…
Numerous research, development, and manufacturing processes must take place in particle-free environments. Sometimes, additional areas with even lower particle concentrations are necessary within these cleanrooms to protect particularly sensitive products. How can these production environments be im…
Whether for clamping, suction, or transportation: The multi-stage vacuum generators of the ZL series from SMC are the first choice industry-wide for pick-and-place applications – and now make them even safer and more efficient thanks to IO-Link expansion. Combined with high suction performance and l…
Air handling in isolators takes up a considerable amount of space with boxy units and great lengths of piping. "In-air" isolators from Syntegon eliminate the need for traditional air handling solutions by integrating the technology into the plenum of the isolator.
Air handling technology plays an imp…
Hydrogen generated with the power of the sun could largely replace fossil fuels in the future, helping to lower carbon emissions. In the Neo-PEC joint research project, Fraunhofer specialists have developed a tandem module that is self-sufficient and reliable at producing solar-generated green hydro…
Emerson has introduced the new Branson™ GLX-1 laser welding machine, which offers users the flexibility needed to meet the increasing demand for small, complex, and delicate components and assemblies. Due to its small footprint and modular design, the device is suitable for cleanrooms according to I…
The BIOSYNTH project is funded by the Fraunhofer Society and aims to develop a new microchip platform that enables efficient and digitally controllable cell-free biosynthesis. The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS leads the consortium and collaborates with the Institute for Toxicol…
Artificial Intelligence as an Assistant in the Podcast Jungle, in Escape Games for Recruiting, and in Creative Work for Instagram – these are the winning projects of the first AI Communication Award. A student also explored how AI influences brand communication. The awards have now been presented in…
