➀ Researchers at Duisburg-Essen University have developed a new method for measuring blood sugar levels at the fingernail without a needle. The technology uses Terahertz waves that penetrate the fingernail and reflect off the nail bed.

➁ The Terahertz technology is based on electromagnetic waves with a wavelength between microwave and infrared radiation, allowing for detailed analysis of biological tissues without damaging them.

➂ The sensor, which is only a few mm2 in size, could be integrated into everyday items like keychains or artificial fingernails.

➀ Researchers at Fraunhofer ITWM focus on battery behavior during charging and discharging, optimization of battery production, and battery aging with innovative technologies;

➁ They use modern simulation tools and new measurement techniques to advance the development of battery cells for electric vehicles;

➂ The software BEST allows detailed modeling of the three-dimensional microstructure of electrodes, providing insights into battery cell behavior and enabling targeted optimization.

➀ ETH Zürich researchers have developed an ultra-wideband MHz to THz plasmonic EO modulator that achieves terahertz data transmission;

➁ The modulator can convert data signals with frequencies above 1 Terahertz efficiently into optical signals for transmission through fiber optic networks;

➂ The technology could have applications in 6G mobile networks, medical imaging, material analysis, and high-performance measurement technology.
