Hydrogen research
The biggest challenge of the energy transition remains the transport and storage of renewable energies and their utilisation in the heating and mobility sectors. One solution is the use of hydrogen technologies. At TU Braunschweig, numerous institutes are working on projects, innovation labs and the SE²A Cluster of Excellence to make hydrogen fit for the future.
Autonomous Mobility
AI, sensor technology, safety and risk communication, new drive technologies and changes in mobility law and the world of work – these are just some of the fields of work in which TU Braunschweig is conducting research on autonomous driving. Here we provide an insight into projects and results.
SFB/TRR277 AMC: The Challenge of Large Scale
The Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) of TU Braunschweig and TU Munich aims with its basic research on additive manufacturing to significantly shape the digitalization of construction. Within the levels of materials and processes, computer-aided modelling, control, planning and construction, the AMC investigates resource- and energy-efficient as well as sustainable, recyclable and digital construction. Through innovative 3D printing methods, materials, processes and optimized design are completely rethought. The AMC is part of the Core Research Area "Future City".
On the way to quantum computing: Quantum Valley Lower Saxony
The research alliance "Quantum Valley Lower Saxony" bundles the expertise of more than 400 scientists with one goal: A quantum computer by the year 2025. The TU Braunschweig is primarily involved with the research focus Metrology, the Cluster of Excellence QuantumFrontiers and the Laboratory for Emerging Nanometrology (LENA).
Cluster of Excellence: “QuantumFrontiers”
"QuantumFrontiers" is dedicated to the fundamentals of quantum and nanometrological phenomena in order to achieve precision at the limits of measurability through quantum technologies. QuantumFrontiers involves TU Braunschweig, Leibniz Universität Hannover and the National Metrology Institute of Germany. The Cluster of Excellence is part of the research focus "Metrology".
Cluster of Excellence: SE²A
„Sustainable and Energy Efficient Aviation“ (SE²A) deals with the challenge of making future air traffic energy efficient while simultaneously meeting the competing demands for continuous growth and environmental sustainability. SE²A involves the TU Braunschweig, the German Aerospace Center, Leibniz Universität Hannover, the Braunschweig University of Art and the National Metrology Institute of Germany. The Cluster of Excellence is part of the joint research area “Mobility”.
