TUM Researchers Develop New Chemical Method for Improved Energy Storage

Significant Extension of Zinc Battery Lifespan

The transition to renewable energy requires efficient methods for storing large amounts of electricity. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a new method that could extend the lifespan of aqueous zinc-ion batteries by several orders of magnitude. Instead of lasting just a few thousand cycles, they could now endure several hundred thousand charge and discharge cycles.

NewIn: Katharina Anders

“Driving forward 4D Earth observation fundamentally”

In this episode of "NewIn," we meet Katharina Anders, the newly appointed Professor of Remote Sensing Applications. She is researching the link between geomorphological processes and climate change. To achieve this, she incorporates the element of time, adding a fourth dimension to the data typically collected in three dimensions.

Digital twins, interception-proof transmissions, telediagnostics

Current research on the new 6G mobile communications standard

Nursing care robots, autonomous driving, digital twins: all of these high-tech applications will play an essential role for the new 6G mobile communications standard. The first commercial 6G networks are expected to be available as of 2030. In the 6G-life and 6G Future Lab Bavaria initiatives, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and TU Dresden are already testing and developing the fundamental mechanisms of the sixth mobile communications generation. One goal is to establish a complete communications system with components supplied exclusively by German start-ups.

Dysfunctional mitochondria disrupt the gut microbiome

Possible trigger of Crohn’s disease discovered

Disruptions of mitochondrial functions have a fundamental influence on Crohn’s disease. This connection has now been demonstrated by researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). They showed that defective mitochondria in mice trigger symptoms of chronic intestinal inflammation and influence the microbiome.

AI4POL project develops tools for more efficient regulation

Artificial intelligence for AI policy

How can Europe efficiently achieve its goals in the regulation of artificial intelligence? And how can the EU itself use AI for this purpose? In the AI4POL project, an international research team will investigate whether EU regulations actually support its citizens. Furthermore, the team will develop AI tools and data science methods with which policymakers and regulators can better evaluate the effects of their legislation as well as potential threats posed by technological developments in non-democratic states.
