Oriol Romero-Isart and his colleagues have theoretically proposed and already tested this new device experimentally. The field of possible applications is…

On May 13, 2014, the GOES-R satellite solar array panels were successful deployed in a Lockheed Martin clean room in Sunnyvale, California. The completed solar…

Can emotional states be measured quantitatively, and if so what would advertising, manufacturing and social media companies do with that data? Imagine a world…

An international research team, including Hans-Rainer Klöckner from MPIfR, performed VLBI observations at a number of frequencies to discover the inner two…

The more cores — or processing units — a computer chip has, the bigger the problem of communication between cores becomes. For years, Li-Shiuan Peh, the…

Graphene, a one-atom-thick carbon sheet, has taken the world of physics by storm—in part, because its electrons behave as massless particles. Yet these…

“It’s a really remarkable object,” said David Kaplan, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “These things should be out there, but because they…

When a ship runs aground, or two vessels crash into each other, the damaged one may lose its stability, or worse, sink. But imagine if after a ship accident,…

Currently, continuous fibers in the form of woven or braided structures are used as reinforcement of oxide fiber composites. For the first time, short-fiber reinforced oxide fiber composites with a bending strength of more than 100 MPa can be fabricated. A short-fiber preform made of stapled fiber bundles fulfills the demand of a high fiber volume content, which is required to adjust good mechanical characteristics.

The invention describes a process which enables the separation of permanent magnets out of a crap mixture. In order to achieve this thermal treatment is realized which leads to a partly demagnetization. This enables the following separation in an alternating magnetic field. This process leads to a separate fraction of corresponding permanent magnets. A German as well as an international patent application are pending.

An experimental plant is build up. A proof-of-concept is realized. On behalf of the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences PROvendis offers licenses to interested companies.

This invention concerns a device for internal high-pressure forming of micro-components from tubular moulding blanks. In this novel design, a carriage is sliding along guides, moved by a drive mounted separately from the guides. Hereby, the drive is coupled to the carriage free of any transverse forces. This minimises elastic deformations. Bending stresses in the plungers are avoided. The relative position between guide and forming tool is maintained.

The functional capability of the invention has been proven in many tests. Patents are granted in USA, Germany, France, Great Britain and Suisse. PROvendis is offering licences of the invention to interested parties on behalf of Cologne University of Applied Sciences.

For the first time, scientists from the CMS experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have succeeded in finding evidence for the direct decay of…

Studying this early epoch of the universe's history is critical to fully understanding how these stars formed and how galaxies grew and evolved 3.5 to 6…

Immediately after NASA's Hubble Space Telescope observed NGC 5548 in June 2013, this international research team discovered unexpected features in the data….

“Comet Siding Spring is making its first passage through the inner solar system and is experiencing its first strong heating from the sun,” said lead…

Einstein's theory of relativity envisions time as a spatial dimension, like height, width, and depth. But unlike those other dimensions, time seems to permit…
