Heat pumps are the most energy-efficient way of controlling indoor temperature. By moving heat between locations, they avoid the inefficiencies of generating heat in the first place. But that doesn’t ...

A novel film-based technology is opening up access to lightweight, flat and energy-efficient pump architectures. At Hannover Messe, Professor Paul Motzki’s research team is exhibiting a prototype ...

Polymer film fabrication is an essential process in various industries, from food packaging to battery production. The demand for precise, high-quality films is on the rise, especially as multilayer ...

An ultrathin silicone film being developed at Saarland University enables pumps to operate without motors, without compressed air and without lubricants or external sensors. These film-based pumps can ...
