A Circular Economy for More Sustainable Product Development – Project “ZirkuPro”

Manufacturing mechatronic products is associated with high energy demand, critical raw materials, and complex manufacturing conditions. One way to solve this problem is through a circular economy, which makes it possible to conserve resources and ensure sustainable development. Researchers from Paderborn University and the Fraunhofer Institutes IEM (Paderborn) and IZM (Berlin) are currently working to extend this principle to an integrated circular product development process for intelligent technical systems.

Magnetic and Optical Properties of a Two-dimensional Crystal Now under Control

Scientists are working to control materials precisely and down to the atomic level and to combine them with each other. The objective is to produce new hybrid structures that are multifunctional and suitable for use in both optoelectronics and magnetism, for example. An international team of researchers from Sheffield, Clermont-Ferrand, Tokyo and Dortmund has now succeeded in creating such a system, which opens up completely new possibilities, above all for optically controlled magnetism. Their findings were published recently in the renowned journal Nature Photonics.
