The demands placed on new, high-tech materials are continually increasing, and existing material systems are reaching their limits. Due to their exceptional properties and functionalities, nanostructured polymers have a high potential for use in diverse applications.
Nanostructured polymers are either normal polymers mixed with nanostructured particulate materials or polymers which themselves have a nanosized structure. The nanostructures can provide additional functionalities to the ma

The era of the rope-dependent elevator is now over, 160 years after its invention. ThyssenKrupp places linear motors in elevator cabins, transforming conventional elevator transportation in vertical metro systems. MULTI elevator technology increases transport capacities and efficiency while reducing the elevator footprint and peak loads from the power supply in buildings. Several cabins in the same shaft moving vertically and horizontally will permit buildings to adopt different heights, shapes

GMIS web portal, powered by advangeo® software products, goes online

The 3D scanning system CultLab3D of Fraunhofer IGD will be tested at the Museum of Natural History in Berlin next week. This should explore the opportunities and challenges to digitalize natural and cultural goods quickly and efficiently, thus preserving them for generations to come as well as making them accessible worldwide. All interested parties are welcome at the panel discussion on 11 November 2014 and to visit the scanning system from 11 to 14 November 2014.

As part of the biological research project ?Fruit Fly Lab? from NASA?s Ames Research Center, the Sunex Lens DSL215 is expected to reach outer space in December 2014. The Fruit Fly Lab provides a research platform aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for long-duration fruit fly experiments in space.
Such experiments will examine how microgravity and other aspects of the space environment affect these insects, providing information relevant to long-term human spaceflight, in parti

10.2014 – The SyncroPatch 384/768PE offers the highest throughput in automated patch clamping history. The SyncroPatch 384/768PE focuses on providing both high quality recordings together with broad experimental versatility, two important hallmarks that clearly convinced scientific researchers at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL.
The SyncroPatch 384/768PE is an advanced robotic screening platform that investigates the effects of chemical compounds and
