The last word … comes from Lucila Patiño-Studencka
Ms. Patiño-Studencka, what are you working on at the moment? I work in the area of navigation systems, with a focus on sensor data fusion. In my current project, we are building a pseudolite system. That is a local...[more]
Measuring glucose without needle pricks
Pricking a finger every day is just part of everyday life for many diabetes patients. A non-invasive measurement approach could release them from the constant pain of pin pricks. The linchpin is a biosensor engineered by...[more]
A smart fabric sets off the alarm
This fabric is a thief’s nightmare: It looks unassuming, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. As soon as an intruder breaks it, it sets off an alarm. The smart fabric enables the exact location of the break-in to be...[more]
A round-the-clock companion
We‘re living longer and longer and are enjoying better health in old age. A lot of people would therefore like to keep living in their own homes for longer. But what aids do we need to help us do that? Fraunhofer IDMT has a...[more]
Brain calisthenics, literally – with HOPSCOTCH
Doing exercise helps you to lead a healthier life and increase your concentration. Fraunhofer researchers have developed an interactive learning system that is supposed to motivate the user to move more but in a playful way: They...[more]
Ultrasensitive photon hunter
When it comes to imaging, every single photon counts if there is barely any available light. This is the point where the latest technologies often reach their limits. Researchers at Fraunhofer IMS have now developed a diode that...[more]
Into every pore
It is indispensable in both medicine and non-destructive materials testing for the generation of high-definition 3D images: computed tomography. Modern systems allow resolutions of 1 μm – not enough to investigate the pore size...[more]
