Microphysiological systems (MPS) are a high-performance tool for research and development in the field of tissue reconstruction, drug and cytotoxicity studies.
In the early days of laser technology, engineers first cut plastics with lasers for industrial use. Although laser processing of metallic materials dominates today, applications with non-metals are gaining ground. Over the course of the workshop, you gain insights into the broad spectrum of laser processing for non-metals.
Solid electrolyte batteries are considered potential candidates that can overcome the disadvantages of conventional lithium-ion batteries in terms of safety and energy density. However, we are not yet seeing entry into the mass market and therefore ask ourselves: Where do solid electrolyte batteries stand today? Exchange different perspectives at our meeting and discuss where you see solid electrolyte batteries – ante portas or still as a vision?
The present time is characterized by the transformation in both the energy sector and mobility, but also geopolitical challenges and the climate crisis are current issues. The triennial EMATec conference aims to provide a platform for presenting the latest achievements in research and development and reflecting the needs of the industry.

15th International Summer School
Trends and New Developments in Laser Technology
The five days workshop aims to bring together undergraduate and PhD students in an intensive study program on fundamental and applied aspects of laser technology.
The International Symposium on Piezocomposite Applications provides an international platform focused on piezoceramic composite technologies across the entire value chain – from materials and component technologies to applications and relevant regulatory considerations – and discusses how exclusive material technologies meet the world’s most demanding real-world challenges – from the deep ocean to outer space, and from micro-scale sensors to large-scale structural actuation.
Shaping the Future of Dry Battery Electrode Processing
The Dry Coating Forum is a forum for material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, cell makers and end users to exchange information about current trends, developments and challenges in the field of dry coating technologies.
Lithium-sulfur batteries are envisaged to enable energy storage devices with high specific energy at low material cost. The recent research provides significant progress in terms of materials for active and passive cell components as well as on understanding of mechanisms finally leading to improved Li-S cell performance.
