“FPGA chips are part of many safety-critical applications. They have one particular valuable feature: they are individually reprogrammable – but with this feature also comes a risk. Field Programmable Gate Arrays, FPGAs for short, are flexibly programmable computer chips that are …

“An efficient light-matter interface might constitute the foundation of quantum communication. However, certain structures that are formed during the growth process interfere with the signal. Certain semiconductor structures, so-called quantum dots, might constitute the foundation of quantum communication. They are …

“So-called spin lasers may potentially accelerate data transfer in optical fibre cables to a considerable extent, while reducing energy consumption at the same time. Engineers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have developed a novel concept for rapid data transfer via optical fibre …

“Security gaps in the standard encryptions enable attackers to read confidential emails. A research team from the University of Applied Sciences (FH) in Münster, Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven has demonstrated …

“Engineers from Bochum and Duisburg-Essen are developing a technology that is partly only known from films. It sounds like science fiction, the plan devised by researchers involved in the new collaborative research centre named “Marie”: they want to create a …

“Batteries for electric vehicles are expensive. This must change if the vehicles are to establish themselves in the market. RUB engineers are currently adjusting one important element. Engineers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have developed a new concept for current and voltage …
