Objects in our daily lives, such as speakers, refrigerators, and even cars, are becoming “smarter” day by day as they connect to the internet and exchange…
The compact infrared thermometers of the optris® CSmicro line have been technically improved and now have even wider applications. “The CSmicro is one of our…
Using graphene, one of science's most versatile materials, engineers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have invented a new type of photodetector that…
For quite a while now, researchers have been able to produce structures from single atoms. One of the first examples was presented by D. M. Eigler and E. K….
Classical electronics allows frequencies up to around 100 gigahertz. Optoelectronics uses electromagnetic phenomena starting at 10 terahertz. This range in…
Hiding from such detectors could become much easier, thanks to a new cloaking material that renders objects — and people — practically invisible.
Researchers from TUM and Forschungszentrum Jülich have successfully teamed up to perform inkjet printing onto a gummy bear. This might initially sound like…
“The next step is to establish a proof of concept for the APV system technology in developing and threshold countries. Due to the higher levels of solar…
Researchers from Hokkaido University and their colleagues in Japan and Taiwan have improved the ability to transform wasted heat into usable electricity by…
“Perovskite-based tandem solar cells can use light particularly efficiently and therefore offer the opportunity to achieve even higher efficiencies. That is…
Exhaust air supplies heat at a comparatively high temperature level and leads to favourable system costs. The scientists tested the interaction of the heat…
This enables operators and monitoring institutions to calculate the stability of components in terms of their damage more accurately and without compromising…
Unlike conventional power lines, hybrid overhead lines combine alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) systems on the same tower instead of two AC…
Conventional batteries
According to the current state of technology, power electronics are coupled to the electricity grid mainly in the low voltage range. For grid stabilization,…
Sometimes less really is more: 40 per cent less weight and smaller dimensions than a comparable permanent magnet synchronous generator – these EcoSwing…
