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….
With just a half second's notice, a driver can swerve to avoid a fatal accident or slam on the brakes to miss hitting a child running after a ball. But first,…
“We’ve taken a sensor material called vanadium oxide and integrated it with a silicon chip,” says Dr. Jay Narayan, the John C. Fan Distinguished Chair…
In order to make electric cars a part of everyday life, new vehicle designs and parts are needed. Take wheel hub motors, for instance. One of the advantages of…
The two new technologies – a dynamic gating system and the ‘ATM runner system’ – produce high-integrity castings with fine-grained microstructure and low…
Imparting robots with the grip of their human counterpart demands hands capable of carrying heavy objects as well as placing them carefully and gently. Researchers at Saarland University developed a twisted string actuator for robotic hands that is capable of generating tremendous forces by means of a simple principle, while requiring little space. The catapults of the ancient Romans serve as a model for the artificial muscles….
The new power supply unit with adjustable output voltage from 24 to 28 volts features a wide-range input from 340 to 550 V AC and supplies 20-ampere rated…
In this way, the workpiece is held gently, can be machined precisely and is protected from vibrations. The new fixation technology has already been tested in…
Rechargeable batteries may soon provide greater energy efficiency not only for road traffic, but also for rail transport. Scientists at the research neutron…
For safety-oriented applications, the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN communicates via a “Rapid Roaming” process in order to ensure interruption-free transmission of…
These studies, led by Queen's mechanical engineering professor Joshua Pearce, are the first to explore the region's solar energy potential. Professor Pearce…
Now, Berkeley Lab scientists have made the largest two-dimensional polymer crystal self-assembled in water to date. This entirely new material mirrors the…
A new firmware, with Profinet functions such as isochronous mode, I Device, Shared Device and Media Redundancy Protocol, and an integrated web server expand…
Predefined diagnostics web pages enable the costs for diagnostics to be reduced and plant availability to be increased. The new Profinet functions such as…
The team will publish their novel technique in the April 14 online edition of the journal Advanced Materials.Small, intricate shapes made of metals, ceramics…
