After almost 18 years, Christian Lüdemann (Communications Director) is moving to Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft headquarters in order to concentrate fully on the Fraunhofer PR-network.

With an upgrade to the established DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting) software library from Fraunhofer IIS, the quality of digital radio reception will be significantly improved.

In September 2018, Fraunhofer IPMS and Globalfoundries Dresden signed a research contract to expand the development collaboration they have been pursuing for 13 years.

In June 2018, Fraunhofer IPMS launched the collaborative EU “POSITION II” project researching micromechanical ultrasound transducers for smart catheter applications.

With increasing digitalization, data and communications security is also becoming more and more important. Quanta are tap-proof, which makes them a promising means of communication. The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute and 23 other partners from research and industry are developing systems for quantum communication within the scope of the project "Quanten-Link-Erweiterung" (Q.Link.X).

Several up-and-coming young scientists have been presented with the DRIVE-E Student Award by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft for their outstanding student work.

As part of the Bavarian energy research project SEEDs, an interdisciplinary research team at Fraunhofer IISB is investigating the potential savings offered by refrigeration systems in an industrial setting. Targeted operating point optimization – based on detailed monitoring, smart control and feedback control systems – can be used to reduce energy consumption and costs.

As part of his science tour, Michael Müller, Berlin’s Governing Mayor and Senator for Higher Education and Research, visited the IoT Lab at the Berlin Center for Digital Transformation.

The fifth-generation cellular network (5G) will enable data transmission between people, devices, and machines in real time. So far, no technology exists that allows for a reliable, fast and energy-efficient 5G network. In the EU project “5G GaN2”, 17 partners from research and industry join forces in order to develop technologies based on gallium nitride.

Increased intraocular pressure makes glaucoma more likely. Often, the disease is not recognized in time. The EYEMATE sensor system developed by Fraunhofer IMS and Implandata Ophthalmic Products GmbH makes continuous monitoring of intraocular pressure easier, allowing for optimum treatment.
