𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲: 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱! Since October 2023, we have been working even more closely with Fraunhofer IKTS and 5microns GmbH. We are conducting joint research in the ERDF-funded project "𝗣𝗢𝘅𝗜𝗥: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗰𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗢𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗜𝗥 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗥 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿". Our goal until September 2026: The development of an IR window and its integration into an IR sensor, based on materials and manufacturing processes that are characterized as resource-saving and environmentally friendly.  The funding is provided by the “FTI-Thüringen Technologie” program as part of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).  Promising initial approaches have already been developed in the first months of the project. Many thanks to our strong project partners - we look forward to continuing our collaboration. #erdf #efre #research #sustainable #ir #innovation #ceramic #thuringia #electronicsolutions
