How would an outbreak of avian flu affect business worldwide? Lets find out. MIT will be staging a real-time simulation of an avian flu outbreak to show how global supply chains are severely disrupted by such emergencies.
Developed by the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics, the simulation will involve a hypothetical outbreak of avian flu that shuts down a fictional manufacturing facility. A panel of executives will respond in real time to the unfolding emergency. "In this interconnected world where supply chains span the globe, companies must examine what actions they will need to take to protect employees, customers and the operational integrity of the enterprise in the event of a global emergency," said CTL Director Yossi Sheffi.
WHAT: "Planning for Disaster: M.I.T. Simulates a Major Supply Chain Disruption," a real-time simulation of an avian flu outbreaks effect on global supply chains

Up to now, OLEDs have been used exclusively as a novel lighting technology for use in luminaires and lamps. However, flexible organic technology can offer much more: as an active lighting surface, it can be combined with a wide variety of materials, not just to modify but to revolutionize the functionality and design of countless existing products. To exemplify this, the Fraunhofer FEP together with the company EMDE development of light GmbH will be presenting hybrid flexible OLEDs integrated into textile designs within the EU-funded project PI-SCALE for the first time at LOPEC (March 19-21, 2019 in Munich, Germany) as examples of some of the many possible applications.
The Fraunhofer FEP, a provider of research and development services in the field of organic electronics, has long been involved in the development of...
For the first time, an international team of scientists based in Regensburg, Germany, has recorded the orbitals of single molecules in different charge states in a novel type of microscopy. The research findings are published under the title “Mapping orbital changes upon electron transfer with tunneling microscopy on insulators” in the prestigious journal “Nature”.
The building blocks of matter surrounding us are atoms and molecules. The properties of that matter, however, are often not set by these building blocks...
