Start-up Blackwave builds carbon parts for aerospace
From racing car to rocket tank
Carbon fiber has become indispensable in high-performance industries such as automotive engineering and aerospace. It’s lightweight, extremely durable, and can be shaped in almost any way. The start-up Blackwave, founded at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), specializes in this versatile composite material. What began with custom components for sports cars and aircraft has evolved into the development of high-pressure tanks for space applications.
The use of AI in lectures and exercises
Using AI tools to shape the future of higher education teaching
AI-supported teaching methods are becoming increasingly common in lectures and tutorials. During the visit by Bavarian Minister of Science Markus Blume to the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the focus was on various tools developed at Bavarian universities. In addition, the initial results of the research project “AIffectiveness in Education” were presented. Using OneTutor, an AI tutor software developed at TUM, the project investigates how effectively AI systems can support learning.
TUM spin-off MSAID
Using artificial intelligence to track proteins
Faster, better, and ideally tailored to each individual: the medicine of the future aims to deliver precise diagnoses and treatment plans. The interaction of proteins plays a key role in this. To understand this interplay, large, high-quality datasets must be analyzed as efficiently as possible. MSAID, a spin-off of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has developed AI-powered software that can do this even for complex samples.
Sustainability in conjunction with entrepreneurship as a focus
TUM and Stanford University form strategic alliance on sustainability
Two global academic players are joining forces: The Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability have formed a strategic alliance on sustainability. They will tackle pressing global challenges for the future of humanity together for more impact. The collaboration focuses on sustainability in connection with entrepreneurship.
Viessmann Foundation partners with TUM Venture Labs
Fostering next-generation climate ventures
The Viessmann Foundation, which represents the core of the philanthropic activities of the Viessmann Generations Group, has committed a seven-digit Euro sum over three years to support TUM Venture Labs. The partnership has an ambitious goal: to increase climate-relevant impact tenfold over the next 10 years, with an emphasis on climate-relevant spin-outs.
