The BIOSYNTH project is funded by the Fraunhofer Society and aims to develop a new microchip platform that enables efficient and digitally controllable cell-free biosynthesis. The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS leads the consortium and collaborates with the Institute for Toxicol…
As part of the Fraunhofer Center for Sensor Intelligence ZSI, the intelligent and flexible ultrasonic sensor system “SonoOne” was developed according to the modular principle. “SonoOne” can serve the rapidly developing ultrasound market, especially in the field of portable systems, with inno…
Fraunhofer researchers have developed a technology that uses ultrasound signals for targeted stimulation of certain areas of the brain. A special ultrasound system with 256 individually controllable transducers makes it possible to target and stimulate individual points deep inside the brain with so…
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant health risk. In about half of patients, the blood clot breaks away from the vein wall and travels to the lungs, where it can cause a pulmonary embolism. Approximately 25% of people who suffer a pulmonary embolism die as a result. This makes it the third le…
Nucleic acid-based medications such as mRNA vaccines offer tremendous potential for medicine and are opening up new therapeutic approaches. These active ingredients must be enclosed inside nanoparticles to ensure that they get to where they are needed inside the body’s cells. The Fraunhofer Instit…
Many new drug candidates end up failing because they cause serious side effects in clinical trials even though lab tests involving cell cultures have been successful. This is a common occurrence if the cells used come from animal tissue, for example. Specially prepared cell cultures made from human…
On April 18, 2024, a large-scale experiment to detect dark matter was inaugurated in Italy. COSINUS is an international research project in which a team from the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) is also involved.
The nature of dark matter is still one of the great questions of modern physics…
Every year, around half a million people in Germany are diagnosed with cancer. Despite the existence of effective treatment options for many types of cancer, many questions about the development of the disease remain unanswered. Why does a tumor develop? What factors promote the growth of cancer cel…
Einfach, kostengünstig und zuverlässig Messdaten zum Gesundheitszustand vor Ort beim Patienten ermitteln und auswerten zu können, bringt in vielen Situationen einen entscheidenden Zeitgewinn: Das WIR! Bündnis DIANA hat in der Region zwischen Leipzig und Chemnitz ein Netzwerk zur Entwicklung und…
Der Reinraum-Markt in der D-A-CH-Region ist ein innovativer, anspruchsvoller und hoch dynamischer Markt. Dass er mit 3,3 Mio. Quadratmetern Gesamt-Bodenfläche auch ein sehr großer Markt ist, war bislang unbekannt. Da nicht nur die beiden großen Industriezweige Pharma/Chemie/Kosmetik und Mikroelek…
