IW | In future, production processes will be able to run without the disruptive influence of oxygen. The Institute of Materials Science (IW) is using this to produce efficient new heat sinks with more than a hundred times higher thermal conductivity compared to previous coolers.

ITA | Small cosmic bodies such as comets and asteroids are being researched in the Einstein-Elevator by simulating different gravitational conditions. The joint project is being carried out by scientists from Braunschweig and Hannover.

IFA | How can intelligent agents be used in production control? What potential does artificial intelligence (AI) offer in the production process? This is what the Institute of Production Systems and Logistics (IFA) is researching in the Collaborative Research Center “Tailored Forming” (SFB 1153).

match | Cryopreservation is the storage of biological material at temperatures below -130°C. The Institute of Assembly Technology (match) is developing a parallel robot with solid-state joints that can automatically handle samples at these low temperatures.

IMPT | The Institute of Micro Production Technology (IMPT) is testing a novel process for the batch production of micro-millers made of monocrystalline silicon carbide. Simultaneous production of a large number of components can significantly reduce the unit price.

LZH | Using expensive materials on high-performance components only where they are really needed: Scientists at the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) are researching methods that make this possible as part of the Collaborative Research Center 1153 “Tailored Forming”.
