Robots and drones at the European Robotics Hackathon 2025
These were probably the most difficult scenarios by far since the premiere of the European Robotics Hackathon (EnRicH) in 2017: at the beginning of July, more than 120 robotics experts from all over Europe and Canada met at the never-commissioned Zwentendorf nuclear power plant near Vienna to test their ground robots and drones under realistic conditions at the 5th EnRicH.

PFAS-free polymer membranes for the semiconductor industry
PFAS chemicals are widely used in many industries due to their stability and resistance to water and grease. In the production of semiconductors, for example, membranes containing PFAS are used in various process steps. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP have now developed a sustainable alternative in the form of a new type of PFAS-free membrane.

More recyclates in technically demanding applications
In the joint project Material and long-term properties in recycled materials, Fraunhofer LBF is laying the foundations for increasing the proportion of PCR for industrial applications in engineering plastics. The aim is to gain knowledge of the dependencies between the composition of the input materials, influencing factors during compounding and the resulting application properties.
