Powerful, durable and safe: With these properties and a low price, batteries “Made in Germany” could soon be among the best in the world. This should be made possible, among other things, by progressive approaches to quality assurance and…

Water shortages, floods or crop failures: worldwide, as a result of climate change, pronounced dry and rainy phases are occurring more frequently and more intensively, causing human suffering and great economic damage. The more precise…

Digital tools are essential in almost all scientific disciplines. Reliable, carefully developed software is particularly important where large amounts of research data accumulate and have to be processed quickly in order to analyze and…

All over the world, humans leave their “footprints” on the surface of the land. These land use changes play an important role in nutrition, climate and biodiversity. Scientists from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have…

Micropollutants such as steroid hormones pollute drinking water around the world and, even in the smallest quantities, pose a considerable risk to human health and the environment. Well-scalable technologies for water treatment that…

In nature, herbal fragrances attract insects, for example. But they are also used in industry, for example in the manufacture of perfumes and flavors. In order to differentiate between the fragrances of mint reliably, quickly and…

Electronic sensors can benefit many industrial applications, such as automotive engineering. But they have to be protected from attacks and falsifications. The new joint project "sensIC"aims to integrate printed electronics and silicon…

The growing population and the rising standard of living pose great ecological challenges for our society: from climate change to littering of the oceans to dwindling agricultural land and raw materials. One goal of the bioeconomy is to…
