Hardly any other chemical substance can compete with PFAS, due to their unique properties. That explains why it is so hard to find a replacement for these toxic “forever chemicals”, which accumulate in the environment and do not break down over time. A team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufa…
Stammzelltherapien bieten ein enormes Potenzial für die individuelle Behandlung degenerativer und tumorbedingter Erkrankungen. Mit dem kürzlich gestarteten Forschungsprojekt »RauPE« (Robuste automatisierte Produktion von therapeutisch einsetzbaren extrazellulären Vesikeln) soll die Herstellung…
Bright prospects for personalized medicine: Experts from the Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM harness their know-how in microfluidics and single-cell technologies to print organ structures.
Single-cell technologies play a key role in studying and characterizing cells. Dr…
Securing skilled workers for the chip industry – with this goal in mind, the nationwide flagship project “Skilled workers for microelectronics: skills4chips” funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), launches on November 1, 2024. A key component is the establishment of a…
Electronic cigarettes, or vapes, are commonly viewed as less harmful to people’s health than tobacco cigarettes. And yet, they are not without health drawbacks. For many ingredients, it is unknown how they will behave when heated. Since the temperatures inside e-cigarettes vary widely, different p…
The Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS in Chemnitz will receive 9.51 million euros from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the "Just Transition Fund" (JTF) for the establishment of a modern competence center for the testing and reliability evaluation of semiconducto…
The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS is expanding its long-standing collaboration with the leading international semiconductor manufacturer GlobalFoundries and launches several research projects on innovative integrated memory concepts.

Aktuelle Ansätze der Krebstherapie greifen auf die Modifikation von körpereigenen Zellen zurück, die nach Rückführung in den Patienten selektive Immunreaktionen gegen die Krebszellen auslösen. Wissenschaftler haben am Fraunhofer IPA ein steriles Verbindungselement entwickelt, das den Herstellu…
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 aggregates and fillers such as sand, basalt, or renewable raw materials are added, rock-like solid structure…
Hydrogen generated with the power of the sun could largely replace fossil fuels in the future, helping to lower carbon emissions. In the Neo-PEC joint research project, Fraunhofer specialists have developed a tandem module that is self-sufficient and reliable at producing solar-generated green hydro…
