Using 3D technology and interdisciplinary expertise, a research team has explored Buddhist temples in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal and digitized them for posterity In the high-altitude and extremely remote region of Dolpo in north-west Nepal, there are numerous Buddhist temples whose history dates back to the 11th century. The structures are threatened by earthquakes, landslides and planned infrastructure projects such as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. There is also a lack of financial resources for long-term maintenance….
Thin organic layers provide machines and equipment with new functions. They enable, for example, tiny energy recuperators. In future, these will be installed…
Additive manufacturing enables complex geometries, but has been limited in terms of hardness and component size so far. Researchers at the Fraunhofer IKTS in…
Sometimes systems have an inherent flaw that causes manufacturing difficulties. In the case of resin-based 3D printing, most users would immediately point to…
However, electric currents in solids are formed by electrons. In metals, the electrons do not collide with each other, but they scatter with lattice defects….
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…
Materials scientists have sussed out the physical phenomenon underlying the promising electrical properties of a class of materials called superionic crystals….
“Human life on the planet has never been more complex,” said Caitlin Grady, assistant professor of civil engineering. “We're so intertwined with so many…
In today's information technology, light and electron charge are the main media for information processing and transfer. In the search for information…
Unfortunately, concrete does not last forever. The ravages of time also take their toll on concrete structures in Switzerland. Not only are reinforced…
3D powder bed printing is currently the most well-known additive manufacturing process for filigree and complex metallic parts. A laser fuses the powdered…
The trick: they incorporate layers of organic molecules into the solar cell. These layers utilise a quantum mechanical process known as singlet exciton fission…
In just three years, formnext has established itself as the industry meeting place to get the latest on additive manufacturing (AM) processes. With 470…
The international team of researchers created surfaces which are coated with a molecule which has a Ruthenium-atom in its center. This molecule-complex, which…
The breakthrough shows that the technology works at a larger scale, not just in the lab, which is crucial for encouraging industry to take it up.
New buildings will need to be constructed for an additional 2.6 billion people worldwide over the next 35 years. Yet the productivity of the building industry…
The discovery of lead in Flint, Michigan's drinking water drew renewed attention to the health risks posed by the metal. Now researchers at the University of…
