We are all familiar with such control of the freezing transition, as it is an essential ingredient in the art of making a sorbet or a slushy. To make a cold…
It has long been known that so-called place cells in the human hippocampus are responsible for coding one’s position in space. A related type of brain cell,…
Using the technology presently available, it takes around 24 hours to produce a rotor blade blank. The process is protracted since almost all production steps…
Purdue University researchers are testing whether a light-active version of heme, the molecule responsible for transporting oxygen in blood circulation, may…
“In addition to process optimization, the sustainable supply of heating and cooling in multi-family homes as well as in businesses and industry is important…
Topological insulators are materials with very special properties. They conduct electricity or light particles on their surface or edges only but not on the…
A paper published in Nature Communications by Sufei Shi, assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering at Rensselaer, increases our understanding…
Additive manufacturing enables complex geometries, but has been limited in terms of hardness and component size so far. Researchers at the Fraunhofer IKTS in…
Prof. Dr. Andreas Dengel, head of the research area Smart Data & Knowledge Services at DFKI in Kaiserslautern and coordinator of the Deep Learning Competence…
The project with the exact title “The sustainable provision of software for cross-media practices and digital traces research” is headed by Professor Andreas…
There will be near-future situations, in which highly automated and autonomous vehicles will also utilize a remote human operator. For example, a truck that…
Sometimes systems have an inherent flaw that causes manufacturing difficulties. In the case of resin-based 3D printing, most users would immediately point to…
Thin organic layers provide machines and equipment with new functions. They enable, for example, tiny energy recuperators. In future, these will be installed…
Resins and other materials that react under light to form polymers, or long chains of molecules, are attractive for 3D printing of parts ranging from…
A RUDN chemist developed a new type of photocatalysts – nanostructures from titanium dioxide. Hollow nanocubes with ultra-thin walls act like nanoreactors and…
A bacterium named Moorella thermoacetica won't work for free. But UC Berkeley researchers have figured out it has an appetite for gold. And in exchange for…
