Female moths produce a sex pheromone, a different blend of chemicals for each species, which attracts males from a distance. Males detect these chemicals with…
large-scale projects are frequently susceptible to errors and these are generally very cost-intensive. A cell’s most important large-scale project is the…
The concept of quasiparticles is a powerful tool to describe processes in many-body quantum systems, such as solid-state materials. For example, when an…
Injuries to the spinal cord can cause paralysis and other permanent disabilities because severed nerve fibers do not regrow. Now, scientists of the German…
In order to increase the storage stability and shelf life of milk, a new treatment process has been developed at Hohenheim University, one that also requires comparatively low treatment temperatures.
The milk can be kept at room temperature for up to a year and yet impresses with its good sensory properties and low vitamin loss.
The invention belongs to the field of generative/additive manufacturing (better known as „3D printing”). Additive manufacturing describes usually building up a structure layer by layer from a granulate or liquid using physical/chemical processes as melting or curing of a material.

Our novel concept of a pressure measurement using an ionisation manometer with decoupled electron source is based on the idea to maintain the classical, well-established geometry of hot cathode ionisation manometers for UHV/XHV, but to remove the heat-generating filament and to relocate the electron generation for the gauge into the room-temperature environment, where heat generation does not disturb.
This innovative solution was mainly developed for UHV/XHV pressure measurements under cryogenic conditions. However, it may be easily applied in any vacuum installations which are operated e.g. under high or medium vacuum and higher temperatures.
