Die Arbeitsumgebung für Mitarbeitende in der Produktion verbessern wollen Forschende des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Bauphysik ...

Phasenwechselmaterialien, auch Phase Change Materials (PCM) genannt, sind ein wichtiger Baustein im effizienten ...

Ammoniak kennt man bisher hauptsächlich aus der Düngemittel-Produktion. Künftig könnte das Gas als effizienter Wasserstoffträger und klimafreundli-cher Ersatz für fossile Brennstoffe auch eine Schlüss ...

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 ...

Methanol reformers convert easy-to-transport methanol into hydrogen. But conventional reformers still come with a number of drawbacks – catalyst attrition, to name but one example. An innovative ...

Until now, waste tires have been used mainly for recovering energy sources: Only small proportions of the carbon black contained in these tires are recycled, since mineral ash accounts for around 20 ...

The amount of plastic waste increases every year. Some of this waste is due to plastic used to package food. As part of the “BioActiveMaterials” project, researchers at the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft ...

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 ...

As climate change progresses, extreme weather events such as prolonged hot spells, storms and heavy rain are occurring ever more frequently, and cities are feeling the strain. The new urban climate ...

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 ...

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems shows promise in medicine, where they can be used to detect diseases earlier, improve treatments, and ease staff workloads. But their performance ...

Many swimming pools in Germany do not have enough trained lifeguards and in many places, this skilled labor shortage is even leading to closures. The solution could be a floating underwater rescue ...
