MOONRISE: Step by step towards a village made of moon dust

They are not yet usable as building blocks – but the lanes melted with the laser are a first step towards 3D-printed buildings, landing points, and roads made of moon dust. In the MOONRISE project, the team of scientists from the Institute of Space Systems (IRAS) at the Technical University of Braunschweig and the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) have succeeded in both melting regolith under lunar gravity and "printing" joint lanes.

Detecting cancerous cells faster and more accurately with multimodal imaging

Improving the detection of cancerous cells during surgery – this is the goal of the European research project CARMEN. The research institutes Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) from Germany and Multitel asbl from Belgium work together with companies from both countries, JenLab GmbH, DELTATEC, and LaserSpec, to develop a novel, compact and multimodal imaging system. This could even allow the examination of tissue samples directly during surgery.
