Every year, some 5.6 million metric tons of plastic packaging winds up in household waste in Germany after being used just once. So far, less than a third of it can be recycled. Working in partnership ...

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 ...

Researchers at Fraunhofer IWU are developing next-generation EV battery enclosures that are lighter and reduce carbon emissions by 15% using innovative materials and designs.

If electric vehicles are to achieve greater distances, it’s not only a matter of op-timizing their batteries. Instead, the entire power train has to be improved. A Fraunhofer team is therefore ...

Satellite-based electro-optical sensors are intended to detect missile launches early on, gaining valuable time for initiating countermeasures in case of an attack. The Fraunhofer Institute of ...

Diamond is known for its outstanding thermal conductivity. This makes the material ideal for cooling electronic components with high power densities, such as those used in processors, semiconductor ...

The 2025 Fraunhofer annual assembly was held in Darmstadt under the motto “Fraunhofer − Transfer for Our Future. Research | Develop | Design.” On the evening of June 4, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft ...

Electric mobility is making great strides in Germany and across Europe. Building further momentum will require an extensive build-out of production capacity for battery cells in this country.

The High-Performance Center for Single-Cell Technologies LZ-EZT is an initiative launched by the Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM in Mainz and the Healthcare Technologies ...

The further development and evolution of existing storage systems is a key prerequisite for the energy transition. The Center for Digitalized Battery Cell Manufacturing (ZDB) at the Fraunhofer ...

Roads are chronically congested and vehicles queue endlessly at junctions. Rush hour is especially bad for long traffic jams. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Op-tronics, System Technologies and Image ...
