In the Clean Aviation project, Fraunhofer researchers teamed up with partners to develop a system that causes icy spots on aircraft wings to vibrate, removing the ice. This dramatically reduces the ...

Ammonia is split into nitrogen and hydrogen in the ammonia cracker. The latter is then burned in the fuel cell to generate electricity. The catalytic converter ensures that no harmful nitrogen oxides ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the coating process, the paper is guided over rolls and provided with the “BioActive Materials”. These are supplied in the form of an aqueous dispersion. Nowadays, those who shop for food in ...

It still has a somewhat alarmingly wobbly gait at this point. But Optimus can take a raw egg out of a carton and place it in an egg cooker. There are high hopes for the broad-shouldered metal bot: ...

Fibroblasts (connective tissue cells) on the electrospun Renacer® membrane under the confocal microscope (red: cytoskeleton of the cells, blue: cell nuclei). The treatment of large as well as internal ...

As part of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, I firmly believe we will play a crucial role in this era of complex change. Our research is focused on solutions and applications, and we are ready and willing ...

Using hydrogen to generate electricity does not cause any climate-damaging emissions. But storing and transporting the gas pose technical challenges. With this in mind, Fraunhofer researchers use ...

Electric vehicle batteries consist of multiple modules, each one comprising many individual battery cells. These modules are the centerpiece of any battery and are responsible for the lion’s share of ...

Fraunhofer researchers and their partners have developed an innovative and eco-friendly method of producing soda, essential for a wide range of industries, in the Green Soda project. The process is ...

In general, plastics are processed at way over a hundred degrees Celsius. Enzymes, by contrast, cannot usually withstand these high temperatures. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied ...
