We present results from the field Applied Research or applied sciences. Students, graduates, professors and other employees at universities, institutes and companies give exciting insights into their scientific knowledge based on engineering for example Drive Technology, Automation, Electrical Engineering, Automotive engineering, Medical Technology and food technology, to name just a few.
Institute and University as well as the Research departments of companies create new trends based on their research findings from the individual sciences. In addition to basic research, applied research usually focuses on specific applications that are raised to a new level through new scientific findings. Research results often become the trendsetter or problem solver.
Various universities and the departments of the Fraunhofer Institute report on their research results - find out more about the Trends of the future!
The scientists of Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have produced an insect repellent in a 3D printer. The 3D printer first encapsulates the insect repellent and shapes it into the desired shape. This can be a ring that the user wears on their finger, for example. The finger ring releases the agent that is supposed to drive away the mosquitoes over a longer period of time. The research team reports on the work in the "International Journal of Pharmaceutics".
At the TUM the processing of new materials with existing production methods in bending technology has been taken on. Using the practical example of a free-form bending machine from J. New plays the IoT CNC control module DAU from Mitsubishi Electric an essential role. At the Chair of Forming Technology and Casting of Prof. Dr.-Ing Wolfram Volk, research is currently being carried out on projects that could bring decisive further developments for bending technology.
Sectors such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and cosmetics rely on nanoparticles to give their products special properties with nanomaterials. the med University of Graz Spin-off Brave analytics has now achieved a breakthrough in counting nanoparticles in cooperation with the University of Graz: They count the small particles in real time and make the patented technology fit for the way into industry.
The economic consequences of unstable supply chains illustrate the importance of microelectronics, especially related to the present one chip shortage, Loud Fraunhofer technology sovereignty in research and development is required in order to be prepared for the future. New production facilities are also required in Europe. The high-performance center for functional integration in micro/nanoelectronics faces this challenge.
