Innovation Meets Application – And You Can Be Part of It

Not every breakthrough fits into a ready-made product. And not every real-world problem can be solved with what's already on the market. That's where collaboration begins.

At Forschungszentrum Jülich, researchers continuously develop new technologies with strong potential for real-world impact. Many of them are ready for licensing. Others are open for co-development — and need partners who bring the application perspective. Take our collaboration with TSI Incorporated: Together, researchers and industry engineers created a novel method to measure ultrafine particles more precisely — a solution that would never have existed without joint innovation.

Featured New Technologies

Advanced Semiconductor Technology

New p-i-n Structure for High-Performance LEDs, Solar Cells, and Sensors

This new manufacturing method enables selective doping of complex compound semiconductors. The result: fewer defects, significantly lower production costs, and better energy efficiency. Optimized for next-gen semiconductor applications in optoelectronics — including high-performance LEDs, solar modules, and precision sensors.

Industrial Heat Management

Cost-Effective Thermal Storage System for Process Heat

Developed for use in energy-intensive industries, this heat storage solution efficiently captures excess industrial heat or surplus electricity. The system is robust, scalable, and withstands temperatures up to 700°C — ideal for companies seeking to reduce energy waste, decarbonize operations, or boost grid independence.

Agricultural Sensor Technology

Smart Fertilization: Real-Time Ammonium Detection in Soil

This mobile sensor platform measures ammonium levels in soil directly in the field — fast, accurate, and non-invasive. It supports data-driven, site-specific fertilization and helps farmers reduce fertilizer use while protecting groundwater. A game-changer for sustainable, high-yield precision agriculture.

Rheology Innovation for High-Value Samples

Miniature Rheometer for Biotech, Pharma, and Materials Research

This compact rotational rheometer enables precise rheological measurements with minimal sample volumes. Designed for flexibility, it integrates easily into laboratory workflows. Especially useful for biotech R&D, pharmaceutical formulation, and advanced materials analysis where sample availability is limited.
