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 technology relates to a method which realizes a two-dimensional separation of ionic species on the basis of the online coupling of ion chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. Through the orthogonality of the single methods the peak capacity can be increased significantly. The separation of ionic species is improved in a cost-effective way, e.g. for complex mixtures of nucleotides or cyclic nucleotides.
The invention describe a hydroelectric power station, which is arranged under water within a shaft. No buildings or constructional interventions are necessary. The power plant is not visible, has no noise emissions and is not endangered by flooding.

The invention proposes a solution for a novel ski binding system, which sets for ski touring as well as telemarking new benchmarks in terms of comfort and safety. Thereby it fulfills the requirements of two different forms of skiing in an entirely original form and opens up completely novel applications. Due to its modular design new ways of marketing the system can be introduced while an efficient production can be realized.
