Fraunhofer IZM

Fraunhofer IZM has developed a method of integrating flexible thinned silicon ICs within polyimide to produce a fully flexible hybrid circuit. IDTechEx caught up with the German research center at Electronica 2023.

2020

Therapies Without Drugs

Researchers are investigating the potential of microimplants to stimulate nerve cells and treat chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, or Parkinson's disease.

Pliable micro-batteries for wearables

Wearables are portable systems that contain sensors to collect measurement data from our bodies. Powering these sensors without wires calls for pliable batteries that can adapt to the specific material and deliver the power the system requires.

Wristband for personalized dementia therapy

The system uses inconspicuous sensors to automatically measure dementia patients' health and care data and suggests personalized treatment options based on their current condition.

Electric Vehicles - Research Perspectives of Fraunhofer IZM Focusing on Eco-Reliability Requirements

Fraunhofer IZM, Germany

Piezoelectric elastic energy harvesting arrives

Elastic piezoelectric generators are being developed with microwatts demonstrated and watts in prospect for large formats.

Growth in High-powered Energy Harvesting

The new reality is that energy harvesting - creation of off-grid electricity where it is needed, using ambient energy - is now one subject from microwatts for wireless sensors to tens of kilowatts for vehicles and buildings. This is because it increasingly involves the same technologies, locations and companies. One structure, such as a remote building, will tend to use a range of energy harvesting from very low power EH for wireless sensors to very high power EH for charging those newly announced Tesla house batteries.

Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe: Key Learnings from the 2015 Show

The recent IDTechEx event "Energy Harvesting and Storage Europe" in Berlin was once again a good barometer of what is happening in the industry. Here are some of our delegates' comments on our Europe 2015 event.

A Novel Capacitive Energy Harvesting Concept

Fraunhofer IZM, Germany

EU-funded project investigates energy harvesting

Energy harvesting systems that are developed within the Smart-MEMPHIS project will have many applications ranging from implantable pacemakers to aircrafts.

Micro battery and capacitive energy harvesting workshop

One-day WORKSHOP, Berlin April 27th 2015.

2014

Direct integration Lithium Micro Batteries for Highly Miniaturized Electronic Systems

Fraunhofer IZM, Germany

FP7 MATFLEXEND project for flexible energy harvesting devices

Fraunhofer IZM leads the newly started FP7 MATFLEXEND project, which will provide wearable, flexible energy harvesters that can be manufactured in a low-cost printing process, and durable materials for such purpose.

Listening to the radio even with an electric drive

To enable radio reception in electric vehicles, manufacturers must install filters and insulate cables, since electrical signals will otherwise interfere with music and speech transmissions. Now, using new calculation methods, researchers are paving the way for pure listening pleasure while also helping to lower the associated costs.

Stretchable Electronic Manufacturing and Applications
