For the first time, sonoware will publicly present a generic, scalable system to support voice communication in noisy environments. For this purpose, the various voices are captured via microphones and subsequently amplified through speakers close to the audience. Innovative signal processing ensures that disturbing feedback and background noise are eliminated, so that only the voices of the people speaking are played back.In addition, sonoware will present an example of optimal voice recording in acoustically badly-disrupted environments, to make this speech signal available to further applications, such as communication systems, hands-free systems or speech recognition. This utilises numerous innovative technologies for adaptive combination of several microphones (beamforming) as well as adaptive noise compensation.

Longer life times, larger ranges and faster recharging - developments such as electric mobility or the miniaturisation of electronics require new storage materials for batteries. With its enormous storage capacity, silicon would potentially have decisive advantages over the materials used in commercial available lithium-ion batteries. But due to its mechanical instability, it has so far been almost impossible to use silicon for storage technology. A research team from the Institute for Materials Science at... read more

It is one of the biggest problems in surface technology: when surfaces come into contact with water, it doesn’t take long before organisms start attaching themselves to these surfaces and attacking the paintwork. In shipping alone, the phenomenon of so-called “biofouling” increases fuel consumption, meaning additional costs and more CO2 emissions. Protective paints are mainly used around the world to combat this, which contain pollutants like copper. A research team from Kiel University, together with Phi-... read more
With the traditional maritime striking of the bell, Schleswig-Holstein’s Minister-President Daniel Günther and Professor Lutz Kipp, President of Kiel University (CAU), officially opened the CAU booth at the Hannover Messe. Under the theme “Business meets Science - Science meets Business”, numerous key players from SMEs, economic development, science and politics met today (23 April) for Schleswig-Holstein Day. Minister-President Günther: cooperation between business and science "Many innovative ideas... read more
Devices from organic materials such as solar cells, organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and photodetectors have completely new properties in comparison with traditional silicon cells: mechanical flexibility, light weight, low costs, as well as semi-transparency. They could be used for solar cells as thin as foil, and so flexible that they can be integrated in large surfaces such as house or glass fronts. Applications such as wearable technologies, lighting elements or bio-sensor technology might also be p... read more

Welding is still the standard technique for joining metals. However, this laborious process carried out at high temperatures is not suitable for all applications. Now, a research team from the "Functional Nanomaterials" working group at Kiel University, together with the company Phi-Stone AG from Kiel, has developed a versatile alternative to conventional welding and gluing processes. Based on a special etching process, it enables aluminium and aluminium alloys to be joined with each other as well as with ... read more

Fast charging of electric cars requires a lot of energy in a short period of time. These peak loads lead to bottlenecks in the power grid, and are one of the problems facing the expansion of electric mobility. The many challenges of the energy transition require a flexible and reliable power grid, which can accommodate fluctuations in the consumption and production of energy. A key element of this could be the smart transformer, which is being researched by the Power Electronics working group at Kiel Univer... read more

The research team from Kiel will present its material and its applications at the Hannover Messe 2018. Cooling devices are considered to be power guzzlers, in which polluting refrigerants are still used, even after the ban on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). An environmentally friendly alternative are systems which use water instead. A research team at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at Kiel University, together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg, has developed a high... read more
Science contributes significantly to economic and social development in the state. Kiel University (CAU) and its partners will be proving this from 23 to 27 April at the Hannover Messe 2018. “With 35 lectures, numerous exhibits and partner presentations, we will be providing the knowledge and technology transfer from Schleswig-Holstein with the stage it deserves,” emphasised Professor Lutz Kipp, President of Kiel University, and thanked the researchers involved for their contributions. The CAU’s joint pr... read more
