For more than 150 years, spark plugs have powered internal combustion engines. Automakers are now one step closer to being able to replace this long-standing…
Using a short laser pre-pulse, the contacts are treated to provide 100 per cent good welds for the subsequent infrared welding.A newly developed “laser…
The innovation may help to overcome two major obstacles that hinder widespread adoption of solar cells: the need to reduce manufacturing costs and increase the…
Rapid Manufacturing is making triumphant progress in industrial production as it enables digitized design engineering data to be directly and quickly…
It uses coconut shell-based carbon specially processed to offer enhanced performance capabilities over traditional catalytic carbons in water treatment. The…
“We are able to send a laser pulse out and get another pulse back from the air itself,” said Richard Miles, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering…
The light was produced by Jefferson Lab's Free-Electron Laser facility. The laser delivered vacuum ultraviolet light in the form of 10 eV photons (a wavelength…
The most common methods for mining mineral reserves are drilling, blasting and cutting. In order to decide which areas are worth mining, a mine operator needs…
The plant thus also uses less fuel to raise steam without the need for any additional investment. The solution has already been implemented for the production…
Under extremely intense illumination materials may exhibit so-called nonlinear optical properties such as ceasing to absorb light beyond a certain brightness,…
A new laser welding process promises both an enormous potential for saving energy and higher welding strengths for the manufacturing of solar absorbers. The…
Simetal RCB Temp from Siemens VAI Metals Technologies offers operators of electric arc furnaces (EAF) a precise, contact-free method to measure steel bath…
The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) plans on using laser sintering* to improve the surface of micro-implants, for example for use in the circulatory system…
For small and medium sized enterprises (SME) which use lasers to weld thin metal sheets, lasers with continuous wave radiation are often too expensive. This is…
The Particular GmbH is a new spin-off firm from the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH), which was started by two LZH scientists. Particular uses a new laser…
Now a team of Yale physicists has used lasers for a completely different purpose, employing them to cool molecules down to temperatures near what’s known as…
