New light source: A million times brighter than the sun
PhD thesis investigated application of a special white-light laser for semiconductor industry and microbiology
14-Feb-2022
A new high-performance white-light laser is expected to speed up quality control in the semiconductor industry and provide closer monitoring of toxicity tests in microbiology. In one step, this laser enables the two-sided characterization of surfaces and can be integrated into production chains. ...
Lotus effects by laser
Fast and much more versatile than coatings: Fusion Bionic established
03-Feb-2022
Nano- and microstructures can now be incorporated into surfaces in an instant using lasers. The technology is being developed and marketed by the Dresden-based start-up Fusion Bionic, a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS. The possibilities are virtually ...
A new generation of particle accelerators aims at taking cancer therapy, drug detection and material analysis to a higher level
Additively manufactured copper components for linear accelerators
04-Nov-2021
World first: Fraunhofer IWS for the very first time prints quadrupole components for linear accelerator.These linear accelerators are so compact that they are becoming affordable even for smaller hospitals, airports and laboratories. To support this development, the Fraunhofer Institute for ...
Environmentally friendly manufacture of battery electrodes
New dry-coating process
03-Sep-2021
Conventional processes for manufacturing battery electrodes involve mostly toxic solvents and require a lot of space and energy. This is not the case with DRYtraec® – a new dry-coating process developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS. The technology is ...
"Fusion Bionic" lasers lotus effects
Learning evolutionary tricks from sharks and butterflies: Fraunhofer IWS Dresden spins off lasertech company
20-May-2021
A researcher team from industry and the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS is spinning off a high-tech company called “Fusion Bionic”. The company aims to bring lotus effects and other functional microstructures from nature to technical surfaces such as air wings and ...
Graphite instead of gold: Thin layers for better hydrogen cars
Innovative coating for bipolar plates in fuel cells
02-Oct-2020
Electric cars which can be filled up within five minutes, reach ranges like a diesel and yet drive "cleanly": This is already being achieved by hydrogen fuel cell vehicles today. However, so far they are still rare and expensive. Apart from efficiency problems, this is due, among other things, to ...
Clean without scrubbing and using chemicals
Scientists develop self-cleaning aluminium surface
28-May-2020
A project team of Technische Universität Dresden and the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS structured an aluminium plate with a laser process in such a way that water droplets no longer adhere and dirt particles can be removed from the surface - completely without chemical ...
Economical energy storage for the electric car of tomorrow
Dry electrode coating technology allows environmentally friendly battery cell production
07-Jun-2019
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in Dresden have developed a new production process with the aim of efficient and environmentally friendly future battery production. They coat the electrodes of the energy storage cells with a dry film instead of liquid ...
Key component for batteries of the future
04-Apr-2019
Fraunhofer IWS scientists headed by Dr. Holger Althues have developed an innovative process for the cost-efficient production of thin lithium anodes made of molten lithium. In the BMBF-funded “MaLiBa” project, the Dresden Institute is working with the companies hpulcas and SGS as well as with ...
Elucidating the Atomic Mechanism of Superlubricity
Tribology: Design Rules for Extremely Low Coefficients of Friction
15-Jan-2019
The phenomenon of so-called superlubricity is known, but so far the explanation at the atomic level has been missing: for example, how does extremely low friction occur in bearings? Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institutes IWM and IWS jointly deciphered a universal mechanism of superlubricity ...
