Researcher for a day: Girls'Day at the Fraunhofer IMWS
Twelve schoolgirls visited the Fraunhofer IMWS for Girls'Day. Instead of learning in the classroom, they were able to try out the dental laboratory and the precision engineering workshop and get to know the pilot plant and electron microscopes. The Girls' Future Day offered the opportunity to experience the world of research at first hand.
Fraunhofer IMWS contributes to the data platform in materials research for copper and copper alloys
The Fraunhofer IMWS, together with partners in the “KupferDigital” project, has made a significant contribution to the development of a data platform for copper alloy materials that considers the entire life cycle. The data, linked with the help of ontologies, integrates material characterization, alloy development, performance review and lifespan, right up to recycling.
Eine Forscherin hält einen hochreflektierenden Spiegel für Laseranwendungen in der Hand. Die Technologie soll für die Laserfusion optimiert werden.
New high-performance mirrors for laser fusion
Laser-driven fusion power plants are considered a key technology on the road to climate neutrality. Highly reflective and thermally stable mirror systems are crucial for these fusion power plants in order to transport the laser light from the beam source to the tiny capsule of fusion fuel. In the new SHARP research project, new types of high-performance mirrors are being developed for this purpose.
Fraunhofer IMWS once again ranked among the “most innovative companies in Germany”
The Fraunhofer IMWS and the CSP in Halle (Saale) are each represented in the list of the most innovative companies in Germany with the top rating of five stars. The ranking is based on assessments by almost 3,000 innovation and industry experts. It is compiled annually by the market research institute “Statista” and the business magazine “Capital”.
Fraunhofer IMWS supports EU pilot line for advanced electronics diagnostics
Strengthening the European electronics industry through targeted support for innovative technologies and advanced manufacturing processes: This is the aim of the pilot line for "Advanced Packaging and heterogeneous Integration for Electronic Components and Systems" (APECS), which is being funded with a total of 730 million euros as part of the EU Chips Act.
Im Projekt »OptiHaft« sollen stabile Mikro- und Nanostrukturen auf Kunststoffoberflächen von Dental-Prothesen eine bessere Haftung Mundraum ermöglichen.
Better adhesion of dental prostheses and splints through surface structuring
The “OptiHaft” project aims to develop innovative technologies for the micro-nano structuring of plastics for dental prostheses. This new technology promises to significant-ly improve the adhesion and durability of dental prostheses and reduce biofilm and tar-tar, which can improve both the quality of life of patients and the efficiency of dental care.
Hardware security should be considered right from the design stage of integrated circuits.
Design tools for improved hardware security of RFETs
Novel reconfigurable field effect transistors (RFETs) enable significantly better protection against hardware attacks and are the focus of the "DI-ReDesign" project.
PV-Module auf Gebäuden können durch Strukturen wie Gauben, Bäume und Äste verschattet werden. Dies erhöht das Risiko von Hotspots und führt zu Ertragseinbußen.
Hot-spot avoidance: PV module optimized for partial shading
In the "SegmentPV" project, Fraunhofer CSP and AESOLAR are developing a segmented and patented photovoltaic module that specifically addresses the challenges of partial shading and thus promises greater energy yield and reliability.
