On 24 and 25 March, the tenth edition of the Munich Battery Discussion took place in Garching - a now well-established conference for the exchange between science and industry in the field of battery technology. Under the motto "Advancing Materials and Production Strategies for Next-Generation Automotive Batteries," around 240 participants from research institutions and industry gathered over two… [read more]

Dear MEP core members, TUM researchers and students, you are cordially invited to attend the next lecture in the series “New Horizons in Materials, Energy, and Process Engineering” of the Munich Institute of Integrated Materials, Energy and Process Engineering (MEP): “High-speed aerodynamics using scale-resolving simulations” by Prof. Neil Sandham, Professor of Aerospace Engineering, University… [read more]

This research investigates the long-term aging behavior of lithium-ion battery cells from the VW ID.3 under realistic usage scenarios and accelerated test conditions. The objective is to identify the dominant degradation effects at the cell level and compare them with the aging behavior of a comparable battery pack in a test vehicle under real-world field conditions. Understanding Lithium-Ion… [read more]

Elie Mounzer and Lukas Groß from DFKI in Bremen recently came to the Munich Institute of Integrated Materials, Energy, and Process Engineering (MEP) to lead a workshop on tensor networks. This mathematical approach breaks down complex, multidimensional data into interlinked tensors—a concept originally developed for quantum many-body systems. MEP attendees examined how tensor networks can enhance… [read more]
