Scientists at KIT have developed and patented a process for minimally invasive technology to mine lithium in geothermal plants. Using the minimally invasive method developed by KIT, thousands of tons of lithium could be extracted from the German and French Upper Rhine trench every year. Jens Grimmer.

To shorten the charging time of e-bikes—in particular during daily use in the city—Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Coboc GmbH & Co. KG, a company specialized in electric mobility, plan to make the batteries of pedelecs capable of rapid charging. On this basis, the e-bike can be optimized and adapted.
