Insights into aerodynamics research at TU Darmstadt

Professor Martin Oberlack is dedicated to solving a problem that consumes a great deal of energy in aviation and makes the development of new aircraft a complex undertaking: chaotic air vortices, known in technical jargon as turbulence. The head of the Fluid Dynamics Department aims to understand them mathematically.

Darmstadts Partnerstädte zu Gast an der TU Darmstadt

Starkregen, Sabotage, Stromausfall: Angesichts vielfältiger Herausforderungen, mit denen Städte heute weltweit konfrontiert sind, wächst die Bedeutung urbaner Resilienz und krisenfester Infrastrukturen. So stand auch der fachliche Austausch zum Europawochenende, zu dem die Wissenschaftsstadt Darmstadt jährlich ihre Partnerstädte einlädt, in diesem Jahr unter dem Thema „Resiliente Infrastrukturen digitaler Städte“. Zum Auftakt am 29. Mai besuchten die Gäste das Anwendungs- und Transferzentrum Digital Resilience Xchange (DiReX) und das LOEWE-Zentrum emergenCITY an der Technischen Universität Darmstadt.

Project CyberStress strengthens defences against cyber attacks

TU Darmstadt and e-netz Südhessen AG have developed a methodology within the research project CyberStress to systematically test the resilience of power grids against cyber attacks. The project aims to enhance security of supply in an increasingly digitalised energy landscape and to establish concrete protective measures for grid operators.

Publication by TU researchers in ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA’

Tiny cavities in energy storage devices form small vortices that help with charging, according to a research team led by TU Darmstadt. This previously unknown phenomenon could advance the development of faster storage devices.

Forschungsprojekt der TU Darmstadt erfasst erstmals systematisch Aquathermie-Anlagen

Flüsse und andere Gewässer enthalten „natürliche“ Wärme – ein Potential, das für die Energiewende bislang wenig erschlossen ist. Die Wissenschaftlerin Jessika Gappisch von der TU Darmstadt will das ändern.

EU und Land Hessen fördern Projekt mit drei Millionen Euro

Wie können erneuerbare Energien über längere Zeit sicher und klimaneutral gespeichert werden? Mit dieser und weiteren wichtigen Zukunftsfragen beschäftigen sich Forschende der TU Darmstadt nun im neuen Metal Energy Hub.

Alternative methods for sustainable ammonia production

Athene Young Investigator Tao Li is developing new approaches to produce and utilise the key substance of the hydrogen economy efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner.

TU researchers prove microplastics are stored in forests for the first time

Microplastics and nanoplastics are not only polluting our oceans, rivers and fields, but also our forests. This is the conclusion reached by geoscientists at TU Darmstadt in a study now published in the renowned journal Nature Communications Earth & Environment.
