Theory of 'smart' plants may explain the evolution of global ecosystems

But what if the ecosystems of the world take their various forms because plant “decisions” make them that way? A new theory presented by Princeton University…

Intuitive Programming of robots

Teach-In-Programming of robots is faced with a fundamental challenge: binding in external hardware und synchronizing robots with diverse hardware components within a simple programming environment. The present solution allows for intuitive programming of multiple robots and adapting existing programs from pre-existing offline programming. Movements and other actions are displayed in a clear diagram representation, from which movement durations or cycle time lines can be seen. There is the possibility to synchronize different components and to edit the recording of movements and to train (“teach-in”).

A pathfinder for gravitational waves

After the launch on 2 December, LISA Pathfinder (LPF) will take up a parking orbit close to Earth and separate from the upper stage of the rocket around two…

Worldwide glacier information system to go

The «wgms Glacier App» provides scientific information and photographs of more than 3,700 glaciers. The app of the World Glacier Monitoring Service, hosted at…

Lightweight design for multilayer composites with damping properties

The newly developed sheet metal composite material can be used for a wide range of applications in the automotive sector as well as in the field of mechanical engineering and manufacturing of deep-drawn part. In relation to its weight, the material possesses a high level of rigidity which can be adjusted to meet specific requirements.
The new hybrid material consists of two individual panels bonded via a viscoelastic layer, which has damping properties. Because the material has one plane outer surface paint finish can be applied and flow properties can be enhanced by adding nanostructures, for example.

Silylene-based Routes to Defined Oligo- and Polysilanes and Defined Silylcarbanions

Researchers from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main have developed a portfolio of silylene-based chemistry allowing for the synthesis of defined oligo- and polysilanes from trichlorosilane and hexachlorodisilane. The combination of the new technologies offers an alternative to the conventional energy-consuming silicon chemistry and access to new compounds.
