Simon Fichtner from Fraunhofer ISIT made a pioneering discovery at Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU) last year: he was the first to be able to prove the presence of ferroelectricity in a III-V semiconductor-based material.

Within the framework of the CitizenSensor project, Fraunhofer EMFT and FabLab Munich have developed a nitrate measuring kit for amateur gardeners.

In modern cars, drivers are no longer alone. Complex electronic systems such as driver assistance or ABS support them and intervene in steering if necessary.

Wireless data networks will have to enable ever higher transmission rates and shorter latency in the future. This requires network structures consisting of many small mobile radio cells. To connect these cells, high-performance transmission links at high frequencies up to the terahertz range are required.

Fraunhofer IZM is paving the way for innovative system architectures based on chiplets.

Together with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Fraunhofer ENAS develops memristors for state-of-the-art computer architectures.

The performance of electric cars depends primarily on the power electronics installed. Semiconductors based on silicon carbide (SiC) play a special role in this context because SiC chips promise longer range, higher energy efficiency, less weight, and lower costs.

The Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD) offers, in six technology platforms, a broad portfolio along the entire microelectronic value chain – from system design to test and reliability. One of these platforms is power electronics.

Within the framework of the EU’s Ocean12 research project, sustainable components for autonomous road and air vehicles are being developed.

The future belongs to alternative drive technologies.
