TUM partner school honored with the MINT21 Digital Award

Girls stem STEM

The Technical University of Munich – that’s top positions in international rankings, millions in acquired third-party funding, research at the highest level. But what’s maybe even more important: TUM is a place that enables young people to develop their talents, without which such achievements would be impossible. That doesn’t only start at university: As part of the “TUM Entdeckerinnen” program, TUM cooperates with schools throughout Bavaria to get girls interested in STEM subjects. One of its partner schools, the Realschule Trostberg, has just been honored with the MINT21 Digital Award.

New test method for reinforced concrete

Safe bridges thanks to new ultrasonic method

Reinforced concrete is an indispensable construction material for buildings, bridges and other structures. However, testing this material for its condition and safety can be quite challenging. A research group involving the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is currently developing a new, highly sensitive method for monitoring the condition of concrete structures. New sensors and computer-aided calculation models will make it possible for the first time to precisely inspect structures and localize the exact location of damage.

Designing large new proteins with AI

New method for designing artificial proteins

Protein design aims to create customized antibodies for therapies, biosensors for diagnostics, or enzymes for chemical reactions. An international research team has now developed a method for designing large new proteins better than before and producing them with the desired properties in the laboratory. Their approach involves a new way of using the capabilities of the AI-based software Alphafold2, for which the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 2024.

New technology mimics nature and makes rhythmic movements calculable

Effortless robot movements

Humans and animals move with remarkable economy - without consciously thinking about it - by utilizing the natural oscillation patterns of their bodies. A new tool developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) can now utilize this knowledge for the first time to make robots move more efficiently.

Biodiversity in the city

Designing urban spaces for humans and animals

Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares. This creates opportunities for greater biodiversity and well-being for the human population. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna. They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature-focussed approach to the design of public spaces.

Less than 16 percent of CO2 reductions from certificates fulfilled

Carbon Crediting is substantially overestimated

The majority of carbon credits that companies and private individuals can buy are ineffective. The meta-study by an international research team shows that the promised reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are actually achieved for less than 16 percent of emission credits.
