PFAS: how to better clean soil from ¡®forever chemicals¡¯
Soil contaminated with harmful perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) is difficult to clean, a complete remediation is often not possible. To improve the remediation process, researchers at the ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê_ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê1946$ÓéÀÖappÓÎÏ· of Augsburg are trialling various cleaning methods. Their work is now being financially supported by the Bavarian Research Foundation.

Ceramic matrix composites repairable for the first time
Researchers at the Institute for Materials Resource Management have developed a method to repair ceramic matrix composite components. Up until now, it was not possible to repair such matrix composites. The project ¡°R4CMC ¨C Repair Concepts for Reduced Rates of Virgin and Overhauled CMC¡± was funded by the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy.

AI-based control systems for machines, plants, and process chains
Over the next three years, the Bavarian research alliance ¡°Intelligent Manufacturing Processes & Closed-Loop Production¡± (FORinFPRO) will be researching fundamental concepts for process-specific sensor and condition monitoring, as well as the data-based modelling, control, and optimisation of manufacturing processes. The project has been funded by the Bayerische Forschungsstiftung to the tune of around €2 million. Tobias Gotthardt, Bavarian State Secretary for Economic Affairs, Regional Development, and Energy, handed over the confirmation of funding today.
