Efficient battery technologies are crucial for achieving national and European climate targets.

In the EU-funded project »STELLAR«, we are working together with 16 European partners to develop a cost-effective test facility for the safe and sustainable production of lithium metal anode foils.

Our researchers have combined two software solutions developed at our institute to improve the virtual spinning process. The combination of »VISPI« and »cashocs« ensures increased product quality of fibers.

This article is taken from our book »Female Researchers in Focus – We Create Change«. Johanna Heidrich wants to make a difference with her research. After studying mathematics, she began her doctorate at our institute, where she uses models and AI to support the energy transition and works on the »AD Net Heat« software.

The »Shipbuilding, Machinery and Marine Technology« is the leading trade fair for the maritime industry. Experts from the »Materials Characterization and Testing« department present terahertz measurement technology for the non-destructive testing of composites. Experts from the »Transport Processes« department present the »MESHFREE« simulation software, which works without a rigid computing grid and is also suitable for maritime applications.

The Fachtage Fernwärme showcase the latest developments in pipe-based heat supply. The Focus in Workshops and specialist seminars will be on approaches to planning, simulation, and operation of modern heating networks. At booth 51, a team from our »Flow Processes« department will present our »AD Net Heat« software. 

JEC World is the leading international trade fair for composites and advanced materials.

We are representing at the Fraunhofer joint booth (booth 5L142), where our experts from the »Materials Characterization and Testing« department provide information about our research and present the exhibit »Non-destructive testing of composite materials.«

The workshop brings together renowned experts who present current scientific findings and industrial applications of Terahertz Technologies.
