Energy laboratory for school classes

Renewable energies and technology you can touch

How do you get children and young people interested in renewable energies and the energy transition? A research group at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has come up with a solution: a laboratory for sustainable energy systems. Here, schoolchildren can observe the energy consumption of household appliances in real time. In this way, the team aims to make technology and sustainable energy systems tangible.

New test method for reinforced concrete

Safe bridges thanks to new ultrasonic method

Reinforced concrete is an indispensable construction material for buildings, bridges and other structures. However, testing this material for its condition and safety can be quite challenging. A research group involving the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is currently developing a new, highly sensitive method for monitoring the condition of concrete structures. New sensors and computer-aided calculation models will make it possible for the first time to precisely inspect structures and localize the exact location of damage.
