Lead-free solder pastes for high-efficiency solar cells
The "LOTSE" project at Fraunhofer IMWS focuses on researching and developing a cost-effective method for the electrical interconnection of solar cell strings using lead-free solder pastes; these offer manufacturing cost advantages and are suitable for interconnecting sensitive, high-efficiency solar cells.
Optimized operating strategies for PV-battery energy storage systems to extend service life and reduce resource consumption
The “PVStorAGE” project addresses precisely need and aims to ensure the reliable, sustainable integration and operation of PV-BESS systems. The focus is on reducing critical stress conditions through optimized operating strategies.
Im Rahmen des Projekts sollen innovative einsatztaktische Hilfsmittel entwickelt werden, die speziell auf die Bedürfnisse unterschiedlicher Patientengruppen ausgerichtet sind.
Practical protection concepts for patient groups in CBRN hazard situations
In the research project “CBRN-Rescue”, the Fraunhofer IMWS is developing new protection and rescue concepts for patients. The aim is to enhance the safety of affected individuals while providing practical solutions that support civil protection and emergency response personnel.
Im Projekt werden neuartige Infrarot- und Lumineszenzverfahren zur Zustandsüberwachung elektrischer Energiesysteme entwickelt und für den Einsatz unter Praxisbedingungen untersucht.
New diagnostic technology for a safe and sustainable energy supply
In the “ALIVE” project the focus is on innovative diagnostic methods that can reveal even the smallest defects in electrical systems. To achieve this, highly sensitive infrared and luminescence techniques are used.

We analyze the properties of microelectronics and microsystem technology components and thus increase the reliability and performance, for example, of computer chips and sensors.
We open up new potential for the use of polymers - for example, as lightweight construction materials for the automotive and aviation industry, in efficient tyres or as plastics made of renewable raw materials.
How good are the materials used in medical engineering and biotechnology? How can cosmetic care products be improved? What can materials made from natural materials achieve? We find out.
We use our top expertise to improve technology, from wafer manufacture to module production. We develop new materials to make photovoltaics more cost effective, more efficient and more reliable.
We drive innovations for microstructure-based optimization of optical materials and coatings, as well as for laser processing technologies used in industrial applications.
