One of the biggest challenges modern science faces today is the development of new, efficient and environmentally friendly technologies for converting chemical…
Stereolithography prints objects from CAD files out of a powder suspended in a liquid. Objects are built layer by layer out of this liquid by shining a light,…
Through a balanced diet, we consume larger quantities of phytoalexins every day – in a natural and healthy way. Phytoalexins (gr. phytos = plant, alekein =…
The research team led by physicist Professor Eva Weig at the University of Konstanz has now been able to show how such a squeezed state can be measured in a…
That means many of its physical and chemical properties–relevant to understanding magma production and the Earth's carbon cycle — aren't fully understood. If…
A team of researchers led by Arizona State University (ASU) recently set out to investigate those questions. And since they couldn't travel to distant…
Laser welding is a process suitable for joining metals and thermoplastics. It has become particularly well established in highly automated production, for…
Anyone who compares older pictures of the Alps with those taken today can see the impact climate change has had in the Alps. The changes are also tracked by…
Building satellites and spaceships is anything but cheap. One reason is the fact that cosmic technology must be designed far more fail-safe than on earth. In…
