Abstract
To cover Germany’s demand for green hydrogen, large capacities of efficient and cost-effective electrolysers are needed. Although efficient electrolysers are already on the market today, they are usually still produced by hand. The H2Giga flagship project will therefore support the series production of electrolysers.

Abstract
The discontinuous nature of the transition in materials with a first-order magnetic transition is a consequence of the coupling between the magnetic, electronic, and structural subsystems, and such transition can, in principle, cross several metastable states, where at one point, the transition takes place within the magnetic subsystem, while at another, the changes occur in the structural or electronic subsystems. To disentangle the nature of such transition and relevant hysteresis mechanism, we designed two new experimental setups, allowing simultaneous measurement of magnetization, longitudinal and transversal magnetostriction and temperature change of the sample, and conducted simultaneous measurements of the prototypical LaFe11.8Si1.2 alloy and revealed rich details of the magneto-structural, first-order transition.

Abstract
“Every new idea does not come by itself, it is challenged.” What Albert Einstein said is what drives the Federal Ministry of Education and Research: With its new framework program “Exploring the Universe and Matter ErUM”, it is setting research policy priorities and paving the way for top scientific achievements and future technologies as well as for innovation seeds and the young scientists of tomorrow. In this way, basic scientific research can continue to enrich our society in the future: Because basic research is about providing for the future for generations to come. Research into particles, matter and the universe expands today's knowledge and creates the basis for the technologies of tomorrow and beyond.

Abstract
Electronic and photonic ultrahigh-frequency chips are being developed in the Microelectronics Research Laboratory (ForLab) SmartBeam. New applications in robotics and autonomous traffic require high-resolution radar systems with material discrimination capability. This can be achieved with carrier frequencies in the THz frequency range. To generate THz radiation with sufficient intensity, individual THz emitters must be connected together. These "phased array" configurations allow the beam to be deflected in arbitrary directions, for scanning the environment -- this is the goal of ForLab SmartBeam.

Abstract
With their application "6GEM open - efficient - secure - safe", the RWTH Aachen University, the Ruhr-University Bochum, the Dortmund University of Technology and the University of Duisburg-Essen were successful in a call for proposals issued by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The four universities will work together with four non-university research institutions on future communication technologies in 6G mobile communications from August 1, 2021. Co-applicants were the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics, the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems, the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Technology and the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy. The 6GEM consortium combines scientific excellence and mobile communications expertise at the network, material, component/microchip and module levels in North Rhine-Westphalia. Experience in their implementation and worldwide networking is also available. A holistic approach is being pursued, from production and logistics to people with their needs for self-determination, privacy and security in times of climate change. The added value of future 6G systems for socially and industrially highly relevant use cases will be demonstrated. For this purpose, seven test sites will be integrated and equipped with 6G systems: A digital operating room at the University of Düsseldorf, a smart hospital at the University Hospital Essen, the German Rescue Robotics Center in Dortmund, the high-speed intralogistics of the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics in Dortmund, the highly automated production environments of the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology in Aachen, a large-scale port logistics in Duisburg, and road traffic scenarios from the city center to the highway in Aldenhoven. The results of the scientific work are expected to generate patents on a large scale.

Abstract
Powerful magnets can be used for effective cooling, heat and power generation. They make a decisive contribution to the energy transition. A consortium led by the UDE is therefore researching new magnetic materials that are efficient and environmentally compatible. Partners in the PUMA project are the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding PUMA with two million euros for four years starting in October.
