Students face real-world challenges at the EuroTeQ Collider

Creating sustainable networks

Creating connections with each other and our environment, strengthening them, and using them to drive the sustainability transformation – that's the aim of the fourth EuroTeQ Collider. In this EU-funded program, more than 60 TUM students recently tackled real-world problems from the business world. Three teams were particularly convincing and will now meet the project groups from the other EuroTeQ partner universities at the EuroTeQaThon in Paris.

Start-up sewts succeeds with AI-based industrial robots

TUM graduates create robots to work with flexible textiles

The industrial robots from the Munich-based start-up sewts use AI algorithms to learn how to handle materials with unstable shapes. Laundries are already using the technology to automatically transfer towels to folding machines. The founders and graduates of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) now want to automate the processing of clothing returns in online retail.

What mucins can do in medicine

Multi-purpose mucus

They are in our eyes, on our tongues, and in our stomachs: Protective layers of mucus, a slime consisting primarily of mucins. These are molecules which bind water to form a natural lubricant. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) use them to develop coatings for contact lenses and intubation tubes, healing plasters for use on the tongue and intestines, and much more.

Media tip: TV report on research in the field of quantum technology

Insights into the quantum world

Computers that solve complex problems in the shortest possible time, guaranteed tap-proof networks, and intelligent sensors: quantum technologies could radically change our world in the coming decades. At the same time, however, the new developments are raising more social questions. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) provide insights into the current state of research in a report on SAT.1 Bayern.

Working group aims to ensure trust in research

Guidelines for the use of AI in science

Artificial intelligence (AI) generates texts, videos and images that can hardly be distinguished from those of humans – with the result that we often no longer know what is real. Scientists are also increasingly being assisted by AI. Now, an international working group has developed principles for using AI in research to ensure trust in science.
