TU Ilmenau/ariThe change in strategy towards renewable energy sources, which is necessary from an ecological and economic point of view, requires the development of new technologies on an unprecedented scale and in many different areas. Established methods and processes in the generation, transport and use of energy sources must be adapted in a complex transformation process. However, effective and economically viable technologies are often still lacking, especially in the details of implementation.
Scientists from various disciplines at TU Ilmenau have been working intensively in the field of energy research for years in order to answer the multitude of still unanswered questions regarding the energy transition.
Within the framework of the "Year of Energy", we would like to make the complexity and breadth of the joint efforts in this scientific field more visible and provide insights into our research activities. We report on ongoing projects and invite you to events on the topic of energy.
If you have any questions about our research, please do not hesitate to contact us!
Your Prof. Kai-Uwe Sattler | President of TU Ilmenau
Neuromorphic electronics
In this interview, Professor Martin Ziegler explains how he develops electronics that are inspired by biology

"Here you can also apply the knowledge you have learned and put it into practice with your own hands"
How can we make the world a better place to live in for our generation and all those who come after? With more awareness, for example, in energy consumption, travel, consumption and recycling - even in our private everyday life? Jasmin (26) already thought a lot about this and about the finite nature of resources as a teenager.More about Jasmin's commitment and her master's degree in regenerative energy technology
May 2021
Prof. Thomas Hannappel interviewed by Renate Ell on BAYERN 2 radioWissen about the background and goals of his research into artificial photosynthesis.
"The goal is to eventually develop an artificial leaf that is scalable, robust and competitive, so that you would have different solar fuels available."
