Official ID cards and passports are frequently needed documents during the current travel season, but have you ever bothered taking a closer look at them? We have – and discovered some astonishing facts.

Be it in the wind tunnel or for crash testing – vehicle development repeatedly involves the deployment of physical prototype models. That’s a lengthy and costly process now being increasingly substituted by engineers working with digital twins.

Swiss researchers have succeeded in developing ultrafast data transmission via laser and satellites.

The force with which artificial intelligence is penetrating nearly all areas of life is awesome. Self-learning systems are fundamentally rearranging everyday work as well. What adjustments do employees need to make to master that transformation?

Leibniz Prize winner Professor Wolfram Burgard is one of the leading researchers in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. In an interview, he looks at robots and AI as potential teammates in tomorrow’s workplace.

43,252,003,274,489,856,000 – that’s the number of possible turns to solve the famous Rubik’s Cube. The options of the global logistics network are similarly diverse. At Schaeffler, the Transportation Data Cube (TDC) takes care of that.

Solo fighters in dark pixel worlds or true team players looking for adventures together with others? For a long time, science paid hardly any attention to gamers. Now new findings about them are available which are of interest to employers as well.

An interview with Professor Sabina Jeschke about the current state in the area of quantum supercomputers and what doors this fascinating technology is going to open: from Qphones to Edge AI to autonomous driving.

Reducing computing time is a constant subject in the world of IT. Now, modern laser technology is intended to help raise computers to new levels of speed and efficiency. “tomorrow” shows two examples.

In the quest for traces of our ancestors, archeologists dig up Earth’s past – and increasingly avail themselves of pioneering technologies in the process.

The city in an all-new role: as a producer of big data. Professor Gesa Ziemer, PhD, director of the global CityScienceLab, describes the wide range of opportunities resulting from this role.

Researchers have developed a new high-speed method of storing huge information volumes on crystal 5D discs for billions of years.

I can see what you see too: Mixed Reality applications accelerate processes and facilitate remote communications.

8,000 times faster than 5G: From 2030 on, the 6G network is supposed to push open the gates to a new communications universe.

A network of quantum computers would be epochally more powerful and absolutely secure.

Space exploration has been a technological trailblazer from the outset. Now it’s receiving an extra boost by powerful private-sector competitors and innovative start-ups.

After nearly twenty years of spectacular robot development and the third change in ownership, Boston Dynamics is now aiming to break even with an initial product.

Innovative technologies create new opportunities for athletes. An interdisciplinary overview – from chessboards to race tracks.

Practically all products today have their own identifier: a barcode. A beep and the checkout terminal knows the article’s name, its price, its tax rate and more, thanks to some black and white bars.

Digital transformation in the healthcare sector is in full swing and receiving a boost due to the corona pandemic. Here are a few examples.

Some gamers rise to the highest spheres of electronic sports as celebrated heroes. Sim-Racing, in which Schaeffler is involved, is one of the increasingly professional e-sports disciplines.

When looking to the stars and exploring planets, black holes and other distant celestial bodies, the first thing to do is find a high vantage point.

Google and IBM are working on quantum computers that can perform complex computations a lot faster than the world’s fastest supercomputers. Now, what’s in it for us?

First described over 35 years ago, 3D printing is a step-by-step game changer in manufacturing technology. Schaeffler knows what kinds of things already work with additive technology today.

Art fuses with artificial worlds. Apps and Virtual Reality (VR) headsets enable visitors to delve into classic paintings and dead artists are brought to life by means of artificial intelligence (AI).

Artificial intelligence suddenly seems to be all around us – it will radically change our jobs and everyday lives. Even so, machines are far from truly understanding the world.

Superheroes and their superpowers: When it comes to acceleration, Superman, Flash & company push the boundaries of imagination. “tomorrow” shows what high-speed rides these heroes are capable of.

Route planning seems to be a problem that has long been resolved. Yet traffic jams, blocked roads and the combination of various means of transportation can turn this simple task into a complex one.

Europe’s digital powerhouse is in the north. Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland are the global benchmarks in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT). Why is this the case?

Winning games, reading files, diagnosing diseases: will robots soon be smarter than people? And, if so, what will become of us?
