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….
Siemens Smart Grid and distribution network operator Netze BW have started a joint project entitled “Distributed Grid Intelligence.” The project's goal is to…
A research production plant is currently being built at the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW), Germany. As of 2015,…
Today’s flexible electronics are already enabling a new generation of wearable sensors and other mobile electronic devices. But these flexible electronics, in…
Chiral compounds are increasingly important in chemical manufacturing. They are distinguished by a special kind of asymmetry in their molecular structure.
Illinois researchers have developed materials that not only heal, but regenerate. Until now, self-repairing materials could only bond tiny microscopic cracks….
Metamaterials Artificial materials engineered to have properties not found in nature, such as a negative refractive index are engineered to interact with light…
As part of a competition sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to reward the most energy-efficient urban regions in…
Wii and other game modules make it possible to engage the entire body when playing, and soon Google Glasses and similar products will open up a whole new…
Terahertz imaging, which is already familiar from airport security checkpoints, has a number of other promising applications — from explosives detection to…
The paper, published in Physical Review Letters, focuses on a calcium-iron-arsenide single crystal, which has structural, thermodynamic and transport…
The earth’s crust works like a pressure cooker. Minerals typically do not form under standard conditions, but at high temperatures and pressures. However, an…
In future, cars with anticipatory driver assistance systems will help drivers to navigate their way through dense urban traffic without stress and above all…
Car2X technologies make vehicles “intelligent” and allow them to communicate with the objects around them. Encouraged by the numerous opportunities for…
Northwestern University researchers are the first to develop a new solar cell with good efficiency that uses tin instead of lead perovskite as the harvester of…
One method of altering the electrical properties of a semiconductor is by introducing impurities called dopants. A team led by Delia Milliron, a chemist at…
Scientists of the Glass Group at the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) have therefore developed a process for the laser-based joining of borosilicate and…
