Fraunhofer

The research group Circular Carbon Technologies KKT of the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS in Freiberg optimizes chemical recycling processes and tests them on an industrial scale.

As of January 1, 2023, Fraunhofer IKTS has integrated the Freiberg research group Circular Carbon Technologies KKT. By doing so, the institute aims to leverage further synergies in electrolysis, hydrogen and power-to-X technologies and to develop sustainable carbon sources for circular economy. Carbon is a key raw...

Li-Fi Giga-Dock transceiver for short-range, high data rate data transmission with light

Humans cause too much waste not only on Earth. Space debris is also becoming an ever greater problem. To make satellite systems more sustainable, they should be created in a modular system in the future so that individual components can be replaced, thus extending the service life of the satellites. To ensure a problem...

Superimposed planes of two NED inchworm motors for combining an X and Y movement

At the leading trade fair for industrial automation "all about automation", Fraunhofer IPMS will present the latest developments in industrial and production control on September 28 and 29 in Chemnitz. For example, the micromechanical systems developed by the research institute support the ongoing miniaturization of...

Demonstration system for spectroscopic identification of white powders

Anyone who has ever ruined a cake knows that the correct identification of visually similar substances such as sugar and salt has great significance in food preparation. However, complex compositional analyses can also provide information about the quality, ripeness or freshness of products. Therefore, Fraunhofer IPMS...

The innovative loudspeaker concept is based on the NED technology of the Fraunhofer IPMS and the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg

Bosch is expanding its expertise in MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) micro speakers and strengthening its market position as leading provider of sensing solutions for consumer electronics with an acquisition. Arioso Systems, based in Dresden, Germany, is to become part of Bosch Sensortec. Agreements to this...

Graphical representation of a photonic quantum computer

Everyone is talking about quantum computers. With the help of high interconnection of as many qubits (two-state quantum systems) as possible, massive amounts of data are to be processed more easily, quickly and securely in the future. In the "PhoQuant" project, a consortium led by the quantum start-up "Q.ANT" is now...

Cryogenic setup and control of a superconducting quantum computer at Forschungszentrum Jülich

Together with 24 German research institutions and companies, the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS is working on a quantum computer with improved error rates in the collaborative project "QSolid" coordinated by Forschungszentrum Jülich. The goal is to make Germany a global leader in the field of...
