Topics: <\/b>Scaled flight test + Sensor for plant health + Tinkering for aerospace<\/b><\/p>\n
Editor: Hannah Kre\u00df<\/span><\/p>\n In Peine, scientists were able to demonstrate the first <\/span>scaled aircraft model<\/span><\/a> from TU Braunschweig. The model, with a wingspan of three metres, combines various technologies to reduce energy consumption and emissions. The test aircraft was developed in the CLIME project of the SE\u00b2A Cluster of Excellence.<\/span><\/p>\n The activity of plants can be observed using fluorescence. This also allows conclusions to be drawn about the health of plants. A new sensor for measuring fluorescence is currently being tested in flight operations in order to validate ESA satellite data at a later stage. A <\/span>helicopter-towed probe<\/span><\/a> from TU Braunschweig is being used for this purpose, which, together with DLR, is collecting data on test flights.<\/span><\/p>\n How must mobility services be planned when, for example, residential and business locations change? In order to be able to run through such scenarios, the Greater Braunschweig Regional Association has commissioned the development of a <\/span>regional transport model.<\/span><\/a> The Institute of Transport and Urban Planning will now be involved in the project, but will also be able to use the model for teaching and research purposes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The EU Battery Regulation, which came into force in 2023, aims to establish circular battery production and, among other things, sets minimum targets for recycling. Against the background of dynamic market situations, TU scientists have investigated the effects on <\/span>material flows and the environment<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The 60th Symposium for Theoretical Chemistry will take place in the Audimax from 2 to 6 September under the motto <\/span>\u201cNext-Generation Theoretical Chemistry\u201d<\/span><\/a>. It is the oldest and, with almost 400 participants, one of the world’s largest conferences in this field. We spoke to Jonny Proppe and Christoph Jacob about <\/span>the event<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n On 10 September, there will be a <\/span>discussion and workshop<\/span><\/a> in the auditorium of the Haus der Wissenschaft on experiences of discrimination in the public sector and possible ways to intervene. For further information and registration please contact <\/span>Nora H\u00f6ft<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The kick-off workshop of the project <\/span>InterXR<\/span><\/a> on Extended Realities will take place on 11 September. Interested parties from all faculties are invited to join the exchange on the topic and advance the potential at our university. Please <\/span>register<\/span><\/a> in advance. There is also the opportunity to take part in a <\/span>questionnaire<\/span><\/a> on the use of XR at our university.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>student initiative ERIG e.V.<\/span><\/a> offers students and lecturers at the TU the opportunity to build rockets, develop small satellites, construct rover demonstrators for the exploration of foreign planets and thus get to the bottom of the fascination of space travel. An inside look at ERIG’s bunker-like facilities at the Institute of Space Systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From 12 to 14 September, the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture and the City is organising a <\/span>gathering<\/span><\/a> with many international guests on topics such as climate and politics, architecture and ethics, science and activism, networks and futures, models and utopias. As part of the meeting, there will be a series of public events to which interested parties are cordially invited.<\/span><\/p>\n The TU Postdoc Programme is once again taking part in the nationwide <\/span>Postdoc Appreciation Week<\/span><\/a> from 16 to 20 September. This time with its own online workshop <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Enhancing your digital visibility: Using algorithms for scientists in social networks<\/span>\u201d<\/span>.\u00a0 Registration is possible via <\/span>e-mail<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\u25ba <\/span>SE\u00b2A: Scaled medium-haul aircraft successfully took off<\/b><\/h3>\n
