Start-up Blackwave builds carbon parts for aerospace

From racing car to rocket tank

Carbon fiber has become indispensable in high-performance industries such as automotive engineering and aerospace. It’s lightweight, extremely durable, and can be shaped in almost any way. The start-up Blackwave, founded at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), specializes in this versatile composite material. What began with custom components for sports cars and aircraft has evolved into the development of high-pressure tanks for space applications.

Remote relief of tension pneumothorax

Robot treats injured people in flight

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a medical robotic system to save lives. It relieves injured people with life-threatening tension pneumothorax in the chest cavity. At the Automatica robotics trade fair, the researchers are presenting the robotic solution for the first time. In the future it will be capable of telemedical operation during evacuation flights. It was developed as part of the iMEDCAP project financed by the European Defense Fund.

New Cluster of Excellence TransforM

“Studying socio-technical shocks in real time”

The Cluster of Excellence TransforM aims to find new ways of conducting research into how transformative technologies shape societal change. In this interview, TransforM spokesperson Prof. Sebastian Pfotenhauer explains why it is essential for social and engineering sciences to face highly speculative questions, discusses how the public can be involved, and how a cluster of this kind could have enabled a different response to the covid pandemic.
