A joke told among quantum physicists goes like this: Heisenberg and Schrödinger are driving in a car when they are stopped by the police. The officer asks Heisenberg, “Do you know how fast you were ...

The Thales Group was among those wanting to know how quantum computers could get their new business models off the ground. Thales air traffic management systems ensure safe and efficient movement of ...

Goebel’s colleague at Fraunhofer IOF, Dr. Karin Burger, is also working on entangled light particles with her project team. Instead of working on improving secu­rity against eavesdropping, though, she ...

How’s it flowing? Leonhard Schmieder developed a method based on quantum sensors at Fraunhofer IPM to measure flow inside pipes. Quantum sensors are already creating concrete added value in industrial ...

How can the power grid be stabilized? Dr. Jeanette Lorenz does research at Fraunhofer IKS on concrete use cases for quantum computers. The biggest hopes are pinned on quantum computers. Because they ...

Adversaries listening in? At Fraunhofer IOF, Dr. Thorsten Goebel’s team does research on quantum-based encryption for eavesdroppingproof communication networks. A plane took off in March to pursue a ...

An increasing number of electronic waste are not being properly disposed of but are often discarded together with plastic waste, for example. If the batteries in these products are damaged, they can ...

Researchers from the Translation Center for Regenerative Therapies TLC-RT at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC, working in collaboration with B-COS GmbH, have developed a ...

Many rural regions are already facing a shortage of medical care, which is particularly acute when it comes to high-quality diagnostics. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and ...

The development of novel therapeutics offer great hope for the fight against widespread diseases such as cancer, but they can impair the cardiovascular system, so development often fails early on.

To produce protein-rich foods sustainably, novel protein sources offer an alternative to meat, dairy and other animal products. In the FutureProteins flagship project, six Fraunhofer institutes have ...

Traditional storage solutions are reaching their limits in light of the steadily increasing volume of data generated worldwide. In the BIOSYNTH project, three Fraunhofer institutes are developing a ...
