Bosch wants to launch a new rapid test that shows a result at the test site in under 2.5 hours instead of the previous 2 days. This technical solution is based on a PoC analysis platform, which was developed together with Fraunhofer IZM in the EU project CA-JAL4EU.

The corona pandemic presents us with major challenges. Infection numbers are increasing exponentially and in recent days more and more countermeasures have been ordered by the authorities.

More than 50 international guests gathered at Fraunhofer IZM for the first kickoff meeting in mid of february to mark the great news: After the international Panel Level Consortium 1.0 achieved its ambitious goals for the project in 2019 with significant technical progress in the field of large-area Fan- Out Panel Level Packaging, a new consortium – consequently called PLC 2.0 – has been formed to continue on that trajectory, with special focus on ultra-fineline routing, including an exploration of migration effects as well as warpage and die shift on large-area panels.

The German Research Foundation (DFG) has awarded Fraunhofer IZM a prize in the ideas competition for international research marketing. The research prize is awarded for the concept of a scientific blog in the field of microelectronics.

For years embedded world has been considered the world's leading international trade fair and epicentre of expertise in embedded technologies. Fraunhofer IZM presented two highlight projects: One was KameRad, a highly integrated camera-radar module for autonomous driving, and the other was an interactive setup where visitors could see the wastewater detector microMole with its modular sensor system in action.

Fraunhofer researchers are investigating the potential of microimplants to stimulate nerve cells and treat chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, or Parkinson’s disease. Find out what makes this form of treatment so appealing and which challenges the researchers still have to master.

“Recycle and reuse” has become an increasingly common way of life for private consumers, but also for industrial enterprises. Still, many manufacturers continue to adhere to a creed of cost-effective – read: commercially rewarding - production.

Anybody who is – or wants to become - anybody in the 3D integration scene had to be in Dresden from 27 to 29 January 2020 for this year’s 3D & Systems Summit.

Many patients dread the thought of having to swallow tubes to give their doctors a look at their gastrointestinal tracts. Long waits caused by the lack of specialists offering the procedure make this experience even worse. Working with two dedicated partners, Fraunhofer IZM is researching a completely tubeless technology in the nuEndo project supported by Germany’s Ministry of Education and Research. Their vision: a simple-to-swallow capsule, equipped with cameras and guided by an external magnetic system.

Every year, the International Electronics Recycling Congress IERC 2020 in Salzburg brings 500 of the world’s leading recycling specialists to Salzburg in Austria: recycling enterprises, technology providers and mechani-cal engineers, industry associations, NGOs and governmental bodies, standards organizations and many others send their representatives.
