Young stars ejecting plasma could give us clues into the Sun’s past Kyoto, Japan — Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They often occur together with sudden brightenings called flares, and sometimes extend far enough to disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, generating space weather phenomena including auroras or geomagnetic storms, and even damaging power grids on occasion. Scientists believe that when…

The effect of the intravenously administered fibrinogen IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist Tirofiban as a thrombocyte aggregation inhibitor is known and well investigated. Now, for the first time, the dispersal of Tirofiban in the form of an aerosol has been achieved, which allows application of the produced aerosol via inhalation. This has the advantage that the active ingredients are reabsorbed very quickly after deposition and rapidly reach a therapeutically active drug level in the blood, which leads to life-saving thrombocyte aggregation inhibition. With this the possibility for acute and immediate treatment of diseases which are caused by or in conjunction with thrombus formation is finally available.
By means of a novel method, it was possible to create, by making full use of the “Bowing effect” ? against prevalent views ?, a ternary compound whose absorption edge can be freely adjusted over a wide range and which features a sharp absorption edge (e.g. ZnOxS(1-x) with c. 320 ? 470 nm 2,6-3,8eV, UV-B range).
To do so, the novel method uses production methods which have already been established (thin layer deposition), particularly advantageous sputter and chemical deposition techniques.
