Die neue zweiachsige Positioniereinrichtung mit aktiver Impulsentkoppelung ermöglicht schwingungsunterstütztes Bearbeiten von sprödharten Werkstoffen wie Keramik, Glas, Siliziumwerkstoffen oder gehärterem Stahl mit bestehenden Bearbeitungszentren.

The new bridge construction method consists in building the bridge girders in a vertical position and in rotating the bridge girders into the final horizontal position. The span of the bridge girders is reduced by the compression struts, which enables considerable savings in construction materials.

Thermoelectric effects are a fundamental building block for the conception and development of new processes for information processing. They enable to re-use…

The computer experiments, by academics at the University of Bristol, give rise to a huge variety of different knots, realising many that have been tabulated by…

Inventors of Saarland University created a new catalytic procedure for the chlorination of alcohols with a variety of advantages, like an excellent waste balance. Substances produced by the new method are for example Neryl chloride, 3-Methyl-3-butenyl chloride, Geranyl chloride and Prenyl chloride.

Scientists of Saarland University and Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg have developed novel water soluble 6-thioalkyl-cyclodextrins, which form highly stable complexes with APIs. The new cyclodextrins show low ion strength in solution and no pH dependence. They can be obtained in well-defined stoichiometry, no statistic, randomly substituted products are generated, thereby simplifying quality control and analysis. Even highly volatile substances such as the anesthetics halothane or sevoflurane can be complexed. For example, one of the new 6-thioalkyl-cyclodextrins showed the highest binding affinities sevoflurane and halothane, much higher than native cyclodextrins or and known cyclodextrin derivatives.

The “Industry 4.0” concept, first introduced by the German government, has recently extended the scope of compact high-power laser applications to, for…

3-D movies immerse us in new worlds and allow us to see places and things that we otherwise couldn't. But behind every 3-D experience is something that is…

At first glance, magnetite appears to be a rather inconspicuous grey mineral. But on an atomic scale, it has remarkable properties: on magnetite, single metal…

Astronomers at the University of Michigan's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) discovered for the first time that the hot gas in the halo of…

No matter whether it is acoustic waves, quantum matter waves or optical waves of a laser – all kinds of waves can be in different states of oscillation,…

The innovative piezoelectric energy transfer unit is ideally suitable for devices, which generate a strong magnetic field. This field can be used as an external supporting field for the energy transfer unit.

We offer compounds consisting of alkaline salts and earth alka-line salts usable for treatment and prophylaxis of dermatitis and other malassezia-associated diseases.

Surface activation or cleaning by cold plasma treatment is getting more and more attention. Current plasma based solutions have mostly fixed electrodes, which are only suited for planar surfaces. Scientists at the HAWK developed a plasma device with flexible electrodes, which allow treatment of irregular surfaces.

Centipedes move quickly. And when one is coming directly at you, you might not care to spend a moment pondering its agility.

Temporally varying electromagnetic fields are the driving force behind the whole of electronics. Their polarities can change at mind-bogglingly fast rates, and…
