As you probably remember from shows that depict the future, we strive to possibility to live in smart homes. A step further toward that goal was achieved by a group of researchers from Fraunhofer Institute, who developed a new Internet-enabled wireless power outlet that support the new IPv6 Internet protocol. The wireless smart socket allows… »
As we previously mentioned in many of our articles about architecture, abundance of daylight is very important since it influences our mood and efficiency since it stimulates the brain. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute have worked with industry partners to develop a coating for panes of glass that lets through more light at wavelengths which… »
Unlike Alcoa EcoClean coating for panels which was developed to clean the air around us, the researchers from the Fraunhofer Photocatalysis Alliance, which includes researchers from ten Fraunhofer institutes, have decided to combine their expertise in this field to use titanium dioxide particles in a coating which could be used to destroy bacteria, fungi and… »
We recently published an article about Canon’s vision of augmented reality which can be used during the design process, and in this article we’re going to write about idea which emerged from cooperation between Fraunhofer Institute and BASF SE who are jointly developing virtual reality (VR) software which could be used to plan and test… »
Glue finds its uses in many objects ranging from sticky notes to airplanes. It is all around us, even in objects we don’t expect it to be. Until now, the majority of glues (adhesives) have been manufactured from petroleum-based materials, but the researchers from Fraunhofer Institute are looking for ways to improve them by developing… »
Microchips and integrated circuits in today’s computers and devices are becoming increasingly smaller and more complex. If you ever followed news about components or read vanity bragging from device manufacturers, you may have noticed they use terms concerting circuit printing technology or lithography. Fraunhofer Institute researchers claim they have found the next generation solution that… »
In order to compensate for usually small display size on digital cameras and smartphones, many companies and research groups focused on development of small projectors that could be used alongside these devices to project larger images on nearby surfaces. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (Fraunhofer IOF) in Jena, developed… »
In an episode of popular sci-fi series Eureka, meat for the residents was cloned and grown as desired parts of a chicken. Led by a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (IVV) in Freising, a group of researchers involved in the EU-project LikeMeat came up with a different approach to solve… »
