Efficient use of methane and CO₂ from biogas: Thanks to novel flat membranes, biogas can be processed directly and energy-efficiently – even in small plants.
Heat Pumps Provide Climate-Friendly Heating in Existing Buildings
Heat pumps provide efficient and climate-friendly heating also in existing buildings. This is the conclusion of a research project by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE.
Fall is the peak season for mushroom fans, as the moister conditions and falling temperatures are ideal for promoting the growth of fungi. However, when Dr. Henrik-Alexander Christ and Dr. Steffen Sydow from the Fraunhofer WKI set out in search of fungi, they are not only interested in the fruiting body.
NGS-based diagnostics for identifying sepsis pathogens
A method developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB enables bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic pathogens in sepsis patients to be identified much faster than before and with the highest precision.
