The valve specialist GEMÜ is expanding its product range of industrial ball valves. Due to its multi-functional properties, the newly developed GEMÜ BB07 3/2-way ball valve family is suitable for the most varied areas of application. These include chemical processes, industrial water treatment, surf…

Together with industrial partners, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT has developed a novel system for producing high-resolution microcomponents by photo-crosslinking. Thanks to their work in the project “High productivity and detail accuracy in additive manufacturing by combining UV…

Additive-manufacturing processes are characterized by the fact that the components are built up layer by layer using, for example, plastics. The adhesion of the individual layers thereby plays an important role, as it significantly influences the stability of the printed components. At the Fraunhofe…

This week, at the 2022 International Electron Devices Meeting (IEEE IEDM 2022), imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, presents a Monte Carlo Boltzmann modeling framework that uses microscopic heat carrier distributions to predict 3D thermal tr…

Ecoclean GmbH's new High Purity Test Center, which was officially inaugurated at its German production site in Dettingen unter Teck at the end of November 2022, complements the company's 15 existing technology centers in the high purity sector. The facilities and conditions have been created to carr…

To produce medicinal active ingredients, microorganisms such as bacteria are often used. However, especially with complex molecules, they reach their limits because they are unable to synthesize them. An alternative is the unicellular green algae species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Researchers at the…

Lost in the exhibition halls? Not at interpack. In order to help our visitors find everything they are looking for, the fully booked interpack 2023 features a concept for the halls that is based on clear focal points for each industry.

No other industry trade fair can compare when it comes to represe…

Test and standard particles have become indispensable in many areas of technology in recent years. Their range of applications includes, for example, validation of technical cleanliness, tests on the short-circuit behavior of electronic components, or the behavior of particulate contaminants in flui…
