Yesterday, at the Innovation Day for SMEs hosted by the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK), Fraunhofer IWS scientist Lukas Nitschke had the opportunity to showcase our DLIPµcube. This state-of-the-art equipment is designed for #SurfaceFunctionalization using Direct Laser Interference Patterning (#DLIP). It features the most compact scanner-based direct #Laser interference system currently available for creating periodic surface structures ⚡️.   💡 This cutting-edge technology is particularly impactful in producing multifunctional films through laser-based micro- and nanostructuring of tools for lab-on-chip systems, as impressively demonstrated in the ReMultiMi project (Replicative Manufacturing of Multifunctional Microfluidic Foils).   The project aimed to achieve film multifunctionality independently of their chemical composition by laser-based micro- and nanostructuring of replication tool surfaces, enabling efficient adjustments to hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. To this end, one-step processes using direct laser writing (DLW) and direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) have been developed.   👉🏼 Learn more about the ReMultiMi project: https://lnkd.in/e-Ur3Wwd   #LightAtWork #Biomimicry Coypright image: © Fraunhofer IWS

Is Flexibility Contrary to High Throughput in Battery Cell Manufacturing? A Model-Based Approach for the Rapid Ramp-up of Innovative Production Equipment with Jürgen Fleischer from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). To reconcile the two seemingly conflicting goals of highly flexible processes and high production volumes, new concepts are needed for singulation and stacking processes. Combining the traditional discrete stacking process with a continuous cutting operation will allow rapid changes in electrode dimensions. By setting up digital twins of the machinery, it is possible to virtually commission control components and deduce machine influences on material behaviour and product quality. https://lnkd.in/eSugNvWx Save €150 with Discount Code 2428-SPK. #AABCEurope

Who is more entitled to speak about the perspectives of the semiconductor industry than Konrad Young (楊光磊), former R&D Director of TSMC? Konrad Young will give a public lecture at RWTH Aachen University on 17 June, together with Christian Geng, Vice President of Aixtron SE. The event is initiated by the Monte Jade Europe Science & Technology Association #MonteJade, with the support of the Taiwan Studentenverein Aachen e.V./ Taiwan Student Association Aachen e.V, and it is co-hosted by the Lehrstuhl für Elektronische Bauelemente (ELD), RWTH Aachen University and AMO GmbH. The lecture is free, but registration is needed due to the limited number of available seats: https://lnkd.in/dC2mPHhH 🔵 Mont Jade Association Europe (MJEU) The Monte Jade Science and Technology Association is a non-profit organization that aims to promote cooperation, networking, and the exchange of ideas among professionals in the fields. It was founded in 1989 in Silicon Valley by a group of Taiwanese-American professionals and entrepreneurs and expanded globally since then. Companies such as TSMC, Acer, ASUS, HTC, Foxconn, KPMG Taiwan, or EY are part of this network. The name "Monte Jade" is derived from the highest mountain in Taiwan, symbolizing high aspirations and achievements. Recently, its European branch has been funded in Germany and plans to build up a similar network. At the moment, MJEU is managed by eight volunteering Taiwanese-German professionals. 🔵 Konrad Young Konrad Young obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley in 1986. From 1998 to 2018, he served as R&D Director at TSMC, being responsible for developing advanced processes at 0.18-micron, 0.13-micron, and 65-nanometer. Several key figures involved in the development efforts were later hailed as the “Six Knights of TSMC’s R&D,” with Dr. Young being one of them responsible for integrating the overall logic process. After retiring from TSMC, Dr. Young served as an independent SMIC director and technical advisor to Intel. He is currently an adjunct professor in the Leadership Program at National Taiwan University and a chair professor in the Industrial Liaison Program in Feng Chia University, Taiwan. Dr. Young is deeply passionate about talent development. 🔵 Christian Geng Christian Geng obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of Stuttgart in 1997. In 1998, he joined AIXTRON AG as a Product Manager for the Asia-Pacific market and in 2001 moved to Taiwan to lead the local operations as General Manager. From 2005 to 2012, he was Vice President Greater China and from 2012 to 2014 Vice President Southeast Asia. In 2014, he returned to Germany as Director of Technology to lead all Technology and Product Developments in AIXTRON’s Opto & Power Group. Today, he is Vice President of AIXTRON Europe.

Working group of the Deutscher Verband für Materialforschung und -prüfung e.V. (DVM) for #fuelcell, #battery and #electric_drive! The workshop started yesterday in Sindelfingen with our DLR colleagues Corinna Harms from DLR Institut für Technische Thermodynamik and Alexander Dyck from DLR-Institut für Vernetzte Energiesysteme who are contributing as moderators and wil end this afternoon. One focus of vehicle development are electric drive concepts. Here batteries, so-called high-voltage storage units, and fuel cells as power sources are at the centre of attention. In addition, electrical machines and power electronics must also be considered. A specific infrastructure must be provided for both power sources, which, on the one hand, fills the batteries via charging stations, supply the fuel cells via hydrogen refuelling stations and a corresponding refuelling system. ⛽ The DVM has set itself the goal of analysing this large subject area in detail with regard to the requirements and safeguarding of components and systems. A great deal of attention is being paid to functionality, robustness, interfaces and integration into vehicle structures. We are delighted to be part of this exciting exchange. https://lnkd.in/d6d4XdJu

It’s always nice to be back at Technische Universität München - and hard to believe it’s already close to seven years since I started my own journey at the university. Thanks to Anna Efa, Eckehard Steinbach and the TUM Venture Labs team for the invitation and the chance to share insights into all things autonomous driving, our approach at driveblocks, the technology behind it as well as the business models and strategies around it. The key messages of the talk were: 💡While autonomous driving leverages a lot of artificial intelligence, safety is paramount and can’t be compromised. This changes a lot of the development dynamic compared to „standard“ AI. 💡 Data collection and management is a much bigger part of the efforts required - this has to be considered from a technical as well as from a business model point of view. 💡 We focus on early commercial deployments of the technology in industrial and commercial vehicle applications. This helps in growing the technology as well as the business and working with the certification bodies on the regulation aspects. And now back to building 🚀 #mapless #autonomousdriving #autonomoustrucks
