A communication network based on the laws of quantum physics offers guaranteed protection by ensuring complete security against eavesdropping. That is the aim of the joint research project known as “Quantenrepeater.Link” (Quantum Repeater.Link, or QR.X). The project will receive three years of support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), totalling around EUR 35 million.

Mitigating climate change while simultaneously improving economic performance – this is currently one of the biggest challenges many companies are facing. Lightweight construction is considered a key technology for achieving this goal, in particular in the mobility sector.

Data analysis made easy: The aim of an intelligent chatbot, developed within the scope of a research project at Paderborn University, is to allow users to evaluate large data volumes quickly and easily.

Cameras, radar, lidar, ultrasound – modern cars have an increasing number of sensors. They assist with parking, monitor blind spots, and help you keep your distance from the car in front. In autonomous vehicles, these sensors must go beyond just providing convenient assistance, and also reliably capture the entire environment. However, differing weather conditions pose huge challenges for the technology. For example, strong background light,…
