in the current issue of hoch³ FORSCHEN – the science quarterly – you´ll find the following topics:

Options for the Diesel Engine
Synthetic fuels, such as oxymethylene ether, could prepare Diesel vehicles to play a major role in the drive train mix of tomorrow. Scientists at the TU Darmstadt are carrying out research into the practical viability of alternative fuels.

Communication in Times of Crisis
Researchers at the TU Darmstadt are experimenting with technologies designed to empower the civilian population in times of crisis. They aim at establishing basic communications and means to share information, thus facilitating human cooperation and mutual aid even following wide-spread power and Internet outages.

Surgical Robots with a Deft Touch
An abdominal surgery robot developed at the TU Darmstadt should take the strain off surgeons and increase the treatment success rate. The artificial assistant works with a particularly sensitive touch thanks to its innovative sensor technology.

Sensitive Energy Cables in the Underground
The trouble-free operation of the energy distribution grid presents a challenge in the era of renewable energy sources. Researchers demonstrate how grid operators can operate and expand underground cabling in a more efficient manner.
