Can printed electric motors revolutionize mobility?

E-motors from the 3D printer: Science and industry join forces for sustainable production

30-Jan-2026 - Despite the European Union's recent softening of the ban on combustion engines, e-mobility remains indispensable across the board. Electric drives are the means of choice when it comes to reducing CO₂ emissions in road and rail transport and making a significant contribution to climate ...

PFAS detection in 15 minutes: BAM develops sensor system for rapid on-site analysis

19-Dec-2025 - PFAS are forever chemicals that hardly degrade in the environment. They enter soil and water, accumulate in plants, animals, and humans, and can be harmful to health. The problem: Until now, detecting them has been complicated, expensive, and only possible in a laboratory – too slow for a rapid ...

Mix of methods makes nanomaterials safer

18-Dec-2025 - The safe use of nanomaterials and their optimal performance depends largely on their surfaces. However, these have been difficult to characterize reliably up to now. Two new studies by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) now show that only a targeted combination of ...

Chemical recycling: a must-have for the future of the site

New packaging law in Germany, rules for mass balance in Brussels

15-Dec-2025 - A new Conversio study shows: Germany could recycle significantly more plastics. Chemical processes offer additional opportunities as a supplement to mechanical recycling - especially for waste that can hardly be recycled to a high standard using conventional processes. Last year, however, only ...
