A wireless satellite, innovative laser-communication technology for space applications, a universal adapter for satellite systems - these are just a sample of the winning entrants from the first INNOspace Masters competition. Initiated by the Space Administration of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), this event had invited innovators to submit their proposals and concepts for the New Space Economy. Around 50 startups, established companies, unive...

Fraunhofer researchers have developed a particulary flexible additive manufacturing method that allows them to produce bone implants, dentures, surgical tools, or microreactors in almost any conceivable design. At the Medtec medical technology tradeshow in Stuttgart, the scientists from Dresden will show their research results. The small pharmaceutical plant next to the patient's bed is no bigger than a two euro coin.

In computer aided vehicle engineering, you need accurate data on various environmental influences. This is the only way developers can conduct tests that simulate the experience of a real car. At the Hannover Messe, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute are presenting a quick and inexpensive system that collects real data at normal driving speeds and processes this data in real time as fine-grained and coarse-grained data for 3D driving simulat...

Nowadays it is impossible to imagine industry without robots. Safety laser scanners mostly safeguard dangerous areas and protect people from collisions. But optical sensors have their limitations, for instance when plastic surfaces, dust or smoke obstruct their line of sight. Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new, high-frequency radar scanner that cuts through these obstacles. It can monitor its environment in a 360-degree radius, making it...

The region of Karlsruhe is a renowned location of research and industry in the area of mobility. The alliance ‘Profilregion Mobilitätssysteme Karlsruhe’ (Karlsruhe priority region for mobility systems) now pools the competences of the research partners in the region for the development of efficient, smart and integrated mobility solutions.

The dates for this year's Viscom Technology Forum and User Meeting will be June 8 and 9. Like earlier yearsthe event offers many opportunities for exchanging knowledge and experience since the content is tailored not only to those delegates who already use Viscom systems, but also to participants who are interested in inspection solutions from the company and would like to learn more about them.

Researchers have discovered a so-far unknown mechanism for the formation of cavitation bubbles by the means of model calculation. In the Science Advances journal, they describe how oil-repellent and oil-attracting surfaces influence lubricant flow. Depending on the viscosity of the oil, a vapor bubble forms in the transition area between oleophobic and oleophilic domains. This so-called cavitation is known to damage material of e.g. ship propelle...

Hand- and dip-soldering are used at many companies in addition to the wave- and selective-soldering process. Emil Otto GmbH will introduce specific fluxes for each of these applications with the properties in the assortment aligned with the applications.

In the IoT, objects and products communicate and link up independently and exchange important information. With MIOTY, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS is presenting an intelligent platform for IoT applications at CeBIT 2016. Up to 100,000 sensors can connect to the platform at the same time and send and exchange information.

Water-based fluxes are still considered 'problematic' in many areas – which is wrong according to Emil Otto. As well as being equivalent to alcohol-based fluxes from a soldering perspective, they are environmentally friendly because they are free of VOCs. Emil Otto GmbH has developed a water-based flux for selective soldering as part of its Green Line series and it will be introduced at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2016.
