Researchers at Fraunhofer IZM want to bring quantum physics from the textbooks to reality. Using optical glass-integrated waveguides, they are developing a universal platform that enables the setup of solutions for tapproof quantum communication and high-precision quantum sensors in miniaturized form, quickly and according to customer requirements.

ASCENT+ mobilises an unprecedented network of knowledge and investment to open access to key European infrastructures and enable academic and industry researchers to address emerging challenges in Nanoelectronics and to accelerate innovation path-finding.

The performance of high-frequency applications such as 5G or radar depends mainly on the materials and interconnects used. In order to investigate and optimize these, a new research group has been founded at Fraunhofer IZM in Berlin.

For most people, the word "fashion" evokes thoughts of cuts, colors and patterns - but why not of live evaluations of vital functions or training sessions for rehabilitation patients? Up to now, products of the fashion industry have been largely analogous. The project Re-FREAM, however, was created to design smart clothes in the digital area.

Fraunhofer consortium to jointly develop therapies and platform technologies against COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. The present SARS-coronavirus-2 pandemic with all its effects on society – both health and economic – highlights the urgency of developing new therapies for COVID-19 treatment. At the same time, it demonstrates the necessity to become well prepared for new virus infections we may be facing in the future.

Extremely small and powerful components can be created through system integration. But how can the great challenges of different technologies, sizes and materials, as well as electrical and mechanical connections and reliability, be mastered?

For the sixth time, the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM organized the world's largest conference on sustainability in electronics, which had to be held online for the first time due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bereits über 25 Jahre wird am Fraunhofer IZM kleinste Elektronik in verschiedene Materialien zuverlässig eingebracht, so auch in thermoplastische Folien. Nun verfügen die Forschenden über eine Maschine, die diese Folien mittels Druckluft in kürzester Zeit in sehr individuelle Formen anpasst, die in jegliche Anzeige- und Bedientools eingebaut werden können.

At the international Electronics Goes Green Conference 2020, innovative solutions for combining the environment and electronics were presented to the more than 200 participants in keynotes and interactive presentations by representatives of leading companies from the electronics industry as well as exciting workshops.

Apple’s sustainability strategy is maybe the most ambitious in the ICT industry and we are excited and proud to announce that Sarah Chandler, their Senior Director of Operations and Environmental Initiatives, will be joining us for our live day to share "Apple’s roadmap to 2030: Its innovative approach to carbon neutrality and a circular supply chain". In 2020 Philips’ 5-year "Healthy People, Sustainable Planet" program is coming to a closure. Before launching the next 5-year program it is time to reflect and look back and what was achieved and even more importantly what can be learned from these achievements. The presentation will focus on the topics of Climate Change, Ecodesign and Circular Economy and give an overview of what has worked well in the last 5 years and what pitfalls should be avoided. Don’t miss both keynotes on September 1.
