ESAM - Evaluation System for Additive Manufacturing
Today, when a new component has to be manufactured, the choice of the supply and production value chain is mainly led by a techno-economic evaluation, and the "sustainability" of the solution is not considered. Given different efficiencies of the manufacturing processes, in terms of resources consumption, it is not ...

Fabrication of single crystal perovskite memristor
Perovskite memristors’ switching mechanism mainly consists of filaments formation and rupture. It is challenging to investigate filaments because their formation and rupture are random events in nano scale that exactly cause memristor, set, and reset voltage instability. Consequently, filament formation and rupture ...

Dark Energy: Accurate estimation and awareness of cloud-induced power consumption
Phones and notebooks do not require much power? Wrong, most usage patterns involve the heavy use of cloud services. In contrast to device consumption, the extent of this indirect consumption is unknown to users. This project delivers a tool to trace cloud use and convey a CO2 equivalent to the user. ...

Development and construction of a sensor carrier for the drone-based measurement of methane and CO2 concentrations in near-ground air layers
The Geoforschungszentrum Potsdam is researching the exchange processes between the ground and the atmosphere. To this end, the climate-relevant gases methane and CO2 are to be measured in air layers near the ground in order to make climate models more accurate. This is being done with an unmanned aerial vehicle. The ...

Off-the-shelf upgrade to improve drug screening throughput by a factor 30
NexMR can achieve high throughput screening by boosting the NMR sensitivity using in situ sample irradiation. This is currently achieved through an optic fiber which needs to be manually exchanged for each sample (every minute), or using a flowthrough system designed by NexMR. The latter approach is incompatible ...
