3D-CopperPrint3D-CopperPrint investigates the use of additive manufacturing (3D printing) for the generation of copper interconnects on adaptive spatial circuit carriers. This process can be used to fabricate hybrid electro-mechanical components as an alternative to existing methods. The approach is based on the application of copper-filled coatings on the surface of three-dimensional objects and the subsequent photothermal laser sintering of the paths.Team:Year: 2018Funding: BMWi, AiF (IGF)Duration: 10/2018 – 06/2020

TRR 123 PlanOS – B01 Offset and inkjet printing of multimode waveguidesHow can optical waveguides be printed? Professors and young researchers from Freiburg and Hanover are trying to answer this question. The sub-project B01 has the task of producing multimodal waveguides for high light output with a width of ten to several hundred microns. The advantages of two printing procedures are used to do so: flexographic printing with high throughput and low cost, and inkjet printing with a large variability and high resolution.Year: 2013Funding: DFG - Transregio 123Duration: 01/2013 - 12/2017

HYMNOS – Hybrid Numerical Optical SimulationNumerical methods for the calculation of light distributions in optical media can profit significantly from current trends in computer technology. The aim of this project is therefore the combination of different modeling approaches on different temporal and spatial scales. For this purpose, different aspects from interdisciplinary subject areas in physics and engineering sciences are investigated using models.Year: 2015Funding: Lower SaxonyDuration: 10/2015 – 09/2018

Setup of an active drop towerAs part of the establishment of the Hannover Institute of Technology (HITec), an active drop tower, the Einstein-Elevator is being set up by the Institute of Transport and Automation Technology (ITA). The design, development and construction of the facility are being carried out in collaboration with the QUEST Leibniz Research School (QUEST-LFS) and the Institute of Quantum Optics (IQ). The aim is to be able to carry out experiments under conditions of microgravity, but also under different partial gravity conditions such as those on the Moon or Mars.Led by: Dipl.-Ing. Christoph LotzYear: 2011Funding: German Research Foundation (DFG) and Lower Saxony state gouvernmentDuration: since 10/2011

Cold Plasma in ZeroGThe height dependence of the plasma conditions and the height dependence of the dynamics of charged microparticles inserted into the plasma are to be investigated in the Einstein-Elevator in a plasma chamber. To this end, the movements of the microparticles during the transition from 1 g to 0 g in the Einstein-Elevator are to be analyzed.Led by: Dr.-Ing. Christoph LotzYear: 2019Funding: German Aerospace Center (DLR)

Experiment carrier for the Einstein-ElevatorAn essential Component of the Einstein Elevator at the Hannover Institute of Technology (HITec) is an experiment carrier, that is used inside the Einstein Elevators gondola. In collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the Institute for Transport and Automation Technology is developing a low-vibration carrier. The aim is to use the system to carry out various experiments under microgravity.Led by: M. Sc. Richard SperlingYear: 2020Funding: DLR-SIDuration: 08.2020-07.2023
