At TUM, the Munich School of Robotics and Machine Intelligence is carrying out cutting-edge interdisciplinary research into AI and robotics for everyday life.
At THI, guest professor Alessandro Zimmer is strengthening collaborations between Bavaria and Latin America, driving research in AI and mobility engineering across the globe.
Eva Weig and her team are building mechanical quantum sensors large enough to be seen under an electron microscope. One day, they could become fundamental components of a new quantum technology.
Together with industry, researchers at the Technical University Munich (TUM) are shaping the future of work with the new "KI.FABRIK" (AI.Factory) and the German-French Academy for the Industry of the Future (GFA).
At JMU Würzburg, Professor Laurens W. Molenkamp and his team are conducting pioneering work on topological materials. With its cutting-edge technology, the new Institute for Topological Insulators will be the ideal place for them to develop this research.
A new radio telescope on the top of Germany's Zugspitze mountain will help unravel the secrets of the universe. The project is led by the Chair for Astronomy at the University of Würzburg.
The start-up Qkera has developed new electrolyte components for solid state batteries. With high energy density, great stability and low production costs, the goal of the TUM spin-off is to achieve a breakthrough of this battery technology in electromobility and other areas. At the Falling Walls Science Summit, Qkera was selected as one of the 25 best science start-ups worldwide.
Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Francesco Ciucci from the University of Bayreuth, a German-Chinese research team has developed a new method for the electrochemical splitting of water. This not only accelerates the production of hydrogen for technology and industry but also makes it more sustainable. The researchers report on their findings in Nature Nanotechnology.
Nursing care robots, autonomous driving, digital twins: all of these high-tech applications will play an essential role for the new 6G mobile communications standard. The first commercial 6G networks are expected to be available as of 2030. In the 6G-life and 6G Future Lab Bavaria initiatives, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and TU Dresden are already testing and developing the fundamental mechanisms of the sixth mobile communications generation. One goal is to establish a complete communications system with components supplied exclusively by German startups. Here we present a selection of other projects. The researchers will be pleased to accept interview requests.
To date, there are no uniform standards for research into solid-state batteries, which are also to be used in e-mobility in the long term - even though billions are being invested in this area worldwide. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have identified the reasons for this and report on them in the journal “Nature Energy”.
