Fast Internet on a plane – a dream of both airlines and passengers. So far, it has remained but a dream due to the low strength of data communication signals between the ground and the aircraft. But there is a solution in sight: signals with a transmission rate of 8 Gb/s can now be sent between a plane and a ground station.

With the laying of the foundation stone on June 1, 2018, Fraunhofer IIS / EAS celebrated the start of the construction of its new institute building.

On June 11, 2018, the starter’s pistol was fired for the volumetric studio in Potsdam’s Babelsberg district.

Christoph Galle entered his position as a program manager at the FMD in February 2018.

Collaborating and networking - this is the contemporary response to today’s technological and scientific challenges, which are becoming ever more complex. This is why the Fraunhofer Institutes IZFP, IWM, and LBF are offering a comprehensive portfolio for holistic material characterization of plastics and fiber composites for component design.

New standards in positioning accuracy

In order to satisfy the various demands on a radar system in a cost-efficient manner, Fraunhofer IZM is researching innovative packaging technologies for radar systems.

The number of new cancer diagnoses has almost doubled in Germany since 1970 – making fast and precise diagnostic procedures even more crucial. This is why Fraunhofer IAF is working on diamond-based optimization of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for cancer diagnosis applications.

Monitoring of high-end production equipment is a central aspect of Industry 4.0. Within Munich’s High Performance Center for Secure Connected Systems, Fraunhofer EMFT – together with Edwards GmbH and the Fraunhofer institutes ESK and AISEC – is working on establishing improved characterization for status monitoring of vacuum pumps.

Until now, time-consuming laboratory tests were necessary to detect pollutants and contaminants in liquids. Now, a novel mobile biosensor system developed by Fraunhofer IIS in cooperation with the Swedish company CapSenze can quickly and reliably detect the presence of biochemical substances.
