Mag-MEMS

The project “Mag-MEMS” aims to realize a miniaturized 3D tactile sensor proof-of-concept demonstrator capable of detecting shear and normal forces with high spatial resolution and a large sensitivity range. This is achieved through the integration of custom arrays of anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors, enabling the tracking of the 3D spatial movement of a sub-millimeter permanent micromagnet embedded in a flexible frame.

Project goals

  • Devising concepts and approaches for sub-mm micromagnet motion tracking in 3D using planar 2D magnetic (magnetoresistive) field sensors
  • Design of AMR sensor arrays tailored to the requirements of a 3D magnetic tactile sensor via a combination of micromagnetic, analytical and finite-element simulations
  • Deposition and Patterning of Magnetic thin films for AMR sensor microfabrication
  • Characterization and testing of AMR sensor arrays in laboratory environment

Ongoing work is devoted to the integration of AMR sensors and sub-mm permanent micromagnet into a proof-of-concept magnetic tactile sensor demonstrator.

Supreme

SUPREME develops scal­able manu­fac­turing processes for super­con­ducting quantum devices and provides pilot-line services for acad­emia and industry to accel­erate the tran­si­tion from re­search to indus­trial produc­tion. By offering pilot fabri­ca­tion, process design kits (PDKs), and commer­cial­iza­tion support, SUPREME strengthens Europe’s quantum tech­nology ecosystem and tech­no­log­ical sover­eignty.

ENLIGHTEN

The ENLIGHTEN project strengthens Europe's independent access to space by developing a sustainable liquid hydrogen engine demonstrator. For this, SAL is developing a cost-efficient fiber optic multiplex laser ignition system that supplies multiple ignition points from a single laser source and will be tested under demanding engine conditions up to TRL 5….

Tiny Power Box 1

In the „Tiny Power Box 1“ project, the focus is on optimizing the power density of integrated chargers in e-cars, so-called onboard chargers. The goal is to reduce weight and save on components and space, while simultaneously increasing power density by a factor of 4, achieving the highest efficiency during fast charging, and enhancing environmental compatibility.
