Materials 4.0
Digitalization, mobility, and new energy systems – the world is changing. Innovative materials are one of the key technologies for keeping products and industrial processes economically competitive and ecologically sustainable. Digitization is not only affecting the materials used in products, but is also revolutionizing the development of new materials. The "digital laboratory in the computer" is growing increasingly important in this context as a "third pillar" alongside experimentation and model-based theory. This has been made possible by enormous scientific advances in simulation methods and the constant expansion of available high-performance computers. Today, new materials would not be conceivable without simulations.
Featured projects
People need to stay away from areas with dangerous gases. Hence, in the future, robots that can sniff out gases and eliminate the danger will be used in the event of accidents, disasters, or to repair damage caused by war. Scientists from seven different chairs are working on methods and technologies for the deployment of gas-sniffing sniff-bots in hazardous environments.
