Windenergieanlagen zu warten und mögliche Schwachstellen zu erkennen, ist teuer und aufwändig, besonders bei Offshore-Anlagen im Meer. Rotorblätter werden daher bereits oft auf Verdacht kostenintensiv ...

In general, plastics are processed at way over a hundred degrees Celsius. En-zymes, by contrast, cannot usually withstand these high temperatures. Re-searchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied ...

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 ...

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will expand its activities in Heilbronn significantly with funding from the Dieter Schwarz Foundation. From 2025, a total of eight research and innovation centers will ...

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 ...

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.

Every year, hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 are emitted through maritime transport, causing serious harm to the climate. As scientists around the world test new propulsion methods capable of ...

A new process developed by Fraunhofer IBP recycles carbon black and minerals from car tires, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

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 ...

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 ...
