Climate change is associated with increasingly frequent droughts. This increases the risk of forest fires. On a walk through the forest, forest scientist Dr. Somidh Saha from KIT advocates more research and courage to experiment.

Die einzigartige Artenvielfalt auf der Erde trägt zu einem stabilen Klima und dem Funktionieren natürlicher Kreisläufe bei. Der Klimawandel führt jedoch zu Veränderungen von Ökosystemen. Wie lassen sich Klima- und Naturschutz zusammendenken?

This new carbon-capture technology from German researchers aims for a carbon-neutral future. Researchers from the Karlsruher Institut Für Technologie (KIT) in Germany have revealed their latest development that aims to make the world carbon-neutral in the future.

Consortium leader Schaeffler, along with with 17 partners (automotive and industrial supplier) has launched the AgiloDrive2 research project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). The aim of the three-year project is to develop an agile and digitalized production system complete with modular product concept...

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology With new methods from AQua, the quality of the electrode coating can be checked automatically. (Photo: Irina Westermann, KIT) Powerful, durable, and safe: these properties, combined with a low price, could soon secure batteries “Made in Germany” a place among the best in the world. This will be realized by including advanced approaches to quality assurance and analytics in production, which are now being developed and tested at the Karlsruhe Institute of Te...
