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).
DIT researchers Helena Liebelt and Rui Li are developing computational simulations to provide efficient and safe solutions to real-life problems in areas ranging from rocket science to the spread of viruses using quantum computing.
With more than 330 million cars on European roads, millions of tons of end-of-life tires are produced each year. Researchers at FHWS are developing methods of recycling elastomers that could give these tires new life.
At the Competence Center for Lightweight Design (LLK) at Landshut University of Applied Sciences, professors, PhD students, and laboratory staff are researching the future of lightweight design.

The Cluster of Excellence TransforM aims to find new ways of conducting research into how transformative technologies shape societal change. In this interview, TransforM spokesperson Prof. Sebastian Pfotenhauer explains why it is essential for social and engineering sciences to face highly speculative questions, discusses how the public can be involved, and how a cluster of this kind could have enabled a different response to the covid pandemic.
Isar Aerospace, a spin-off of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has conducted the first test flight of its rocket - and thus also the first launch of a carrier rocket designed to transport loads into orbit from Western Europe. In future, the system will be used to launch small and medium-sized satellites into space, which are crucial for numerous emerging technologies. The founding of the start-up by three graduates was intensively supported at TUM.
One year ago, the Würzburg University satellite SONATE-2 was launched into orbit. It has now achieved all its mission objectives. What's next for the satellite.
30 years ago, for the only time, the rotational arch technology by engineer Günter Kupczik was integrated into the Dresden sewer system. Aiming to achieve better volume management during heavy rainfall and to solve the issue of sediment removal without requiring personnel, Kupczik began working on the innovative rotational arch solution as early as the 1980s. Comparative analyses conducted by TU Dresden revealed that, at the time, the rotational arch was the only technical solution in which mechanical components did not come into contact with wastewater, the full flow cross-section remained available at all times, and precise control was possible even under backed-up operational conditions.
