Quantum gas microscope -
Physicists have created a quantum gas microscope that can be used to observe single atoms at temperatures so low the particles follow the rules of quantum mechanics, behaving in bizarre ways. |
|
Personalized solar energy -
New scientific discoveries are moving society toward the era of "personalized solar energy," in which the focus of electricity production shifts from huge central generating stations to individuals in their own homes and communities. |
|
3D laser scanning works of art -
If you don’t have the time to travel to Florence, you can still see Michelangelo’s statue of David on the Internet, revolving in true-to-life 3D around its own axis. |
|
Polishing metals with lasers -
Researchers have developed a way of automating the polishing work: “We do not polish the surface by hand with grinding and polishing media. |
|
Simulation method improves the sintering process -
The fine-grained metal powder dropping from the feed shoe settles in the mold. Stamps then compact the loose powder grains at a pressure of several hundred megapascals to produce the “green body” – a preform in the shape of the finished part which now has to be sintered in a furnace at a temperature below the melting point of the material. |
|
Improved grippers for solar wafers -
Accidents will happen: if you are washing a wine glass and apply just a little too much pressure it will break. A similar thing happens to technicians in the production of photovoltaic systems when they handle solar wafers. |
|
Faster lasers measuring distances developed -
Will the massive truck be able to pass under the bridge or should it take another route? Do the houses lining the street leave enough room for the oversized vehicle to pass through? Such questions are answered by sending out a car fitted with distance measuring equipment to check the route the heavy load will take. |
