Eavesdropping-proof communication and powerful quantum computers need one thing above all: single photons that can be precisely controlled. A Saxon research team from HTW Dresden, Fraunhofer and two technical universities is now working on this – using tiny crystals and highly sensitive detectors. | more
Zahnbehandlungen können in Deutschland schnell zur finanziellen Belastung werden. Besonders bei Implantaten, Kronen, Brücken oder umfangreichem Zahnersatz liegen die Kosten häufig im vierstelligen Bereich. Viele Patienten stehen dann vor einer schwierigen Entscheidung: Behandlung durchführen lassen und hohe Eigenanteile zahlen – oder den Eingriff aufschieben, obwohl er medizinisch sinnvoll wäre. | more
Huge presses shape metal parts for cars, data centres and hydrogen technologies. However, they are expensive, large and energy-intensive. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology (IWU) in Dresden want to change that. With a smart rolling process and real-time monitoring, manufacturers could reduce costs by up to 70 percent in the future – without compromising quality. | more
Data everywhere, energy in short supply: a €15-million research project aims to make AI far more efficient. Researchers in Dresden are developing brain-inspired chips and smart sensors that could help farmers determine when fruit is ready to harvest. | more
VmedD bringt moderne Radartechnologie dorthin, wo sie wirklich gebraucht wird: In die eigenen vier Wände. Denn der Wunsch ist klar: So lange wie möglich selbstständig zu Hause wohnen. Gleichzeitig wächst bei Angehörigen die Sorge vor unbemerkten Stürzen oder nächtlichen Notfällen. Genau hier verbindet VmedD innovative Sensortechnik mit echter Alltagstauglichkeit – für mehr Sicherheit im Alter. | more
Paper packaging is considered the better choice. It is more sustainable, recyclable and environmentally friendly than plastic. But they still have one problem: they need adhesives or layers of plastic to seal them, which makes recycling more difficult. Researchers in Dresden want to change this - with a laser that creates its own adhesive in the paper. | more
Extracting copper from waste - with the help of bacteria and electron beams. What sounds like a crazy idea is reality. The Fraunhofer FEP in Dresden is running a new plant that combines the two. The yield increases, the waste shrinks. A look at a technology that could change the supply of raw materials. | more

Perpetual chemicals, PFAS for short, can be found in raincoats, pans and every chip. Researchers at Fraunhofer ENAS in Chemnitz are working with European partners to ban these toxic substances from chip production. Their new process could make the semiconductor industry cleaner, more energy-efficient and healthier. | more
Modern cars and factories need networks in which data not only arrives quickly, but also with pinpoint accuracy. The Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden has developed a chip component that is ten times faster than previous solutions and works with nanosecond precision. The technology makes self-driving cars safer and production plants more efficient. | more

Researchers in Leipzig have developed a new method to prevent dangerous rejection reactions after blood stem cell transplants. The Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology treats donor cells with special antibodies prior to transplantation. Unlike previous approaches, this therapy does not weaken the entire immune system. Initial tests in the laboratory have been very promising. | more
Millions of tons of plastic waste from rapid tests - is that necessary? HTW Dresden says no and is developing tests made from biodegradable material. The plastic is made from plant starch and composts in 90 days. Researchers in Saxony want to create a sustainable alternative for medical diagnostics. | more
