Fraunhofer Annual Report 2024”The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft has always been the most important partner for the highly innovative mechanical engi­neering industry. The applied expertise of its institutes ...

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 ...

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

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.

A huge number of used parts end up in the scrap yard for recycling every year. It is far more resource-efficient, however, to remanufacture alternators, starters and the like as part of a ...

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 ...

Annual Report 2023 of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft including executive board’s report, the senate’s report, review of Fraunhofer research, finances.

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 ...

Reinforced concrete is durable and robust but has a large CO2 footprint. Timber, on the other hand, is sustainable and absorbs carbon, although it has inherent negative properties. Hybrid timber ...

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 ...

When large-scale emergencies occur, it often takes far too long before victims receive the care their injuries demand. Now a new electronic system has been designed to support helpers during the ...

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 ...
