On that date the comet passed by Mars at approximately 87,000 miles (about one-third the distance between Earth and the Moon). At that time, the comet and Mars…
“When looking at a continental scale invasion in particular, we can’t assume that the invasion is uniform across the region because of latitudinal differences…
A new monitoring solution has now been developed by one of BAM’s research teams: plastic labels with a temperature memory.
The use of thermoplastic materials for such composites has opened up new options for manufacturing parts such as adaptable micro-implants for neurosurgery or…
The invention concerns a process for the production of bifurcated vascular prostheses by the polymer-processing technology electrospinning.
