There’s life left in the traditional machine tool
The whole world is talking about 3D printing, additive manufacturing and generative multi-layer construction technologies. Nevertheless, this is a long way from meaning that the classical machine tool is going to be pensioned off. The EMO Hannover 2017 will be showcasing an international banquet of production technology – with alternative processes as the highly auspicious icing on the cake.
Cool designs for miniaturised high-power applications
Some major concerns for modern electronic applications include miniaturisation and increasing power densities. The lifetime of electronic applications can be dramatically reduced by the increase of the working temperatures by just a few degrees. Further, the insulation of the whole printed circuit board (PCB) from the environment in order to provide efficient protection against humidity and dust for certain applications turns heat dissipation an ...
BMZ GmbH is one of “Bavaria’s best 50” companies
For the fourth time, BMZGmbH has been selected as one of the winners of the “Bavaria’s best 50” competition organised by the Bavarian state ministry of economic affairs, infrastructure, transport and technology in Germany. BMZGmbH was distinguished for its particularly strong growth. In recent years BMZhas made outstanding improvements in its turnover and number of employees. Turnover was around 460 million US Dollars at the end...
OPEN MIND offers efficient solutions for the aerospace industry
The aerospace industry is of the most technically challenging industries in the world. There are growing pressures to look at new manufacturing methods to reduce production times and increase efficiency. One of the determining factors in the production chain is the choice of the right CAM solution.
Baker's yeast to aid drug development
A team of Canadian, U.S. and Japanese scientists are enlisting baker’s yeast in a hunt for better drugs.A new method developed by U of T researchers and international collaborators has the potential to accelerate drug discovery with help from yeast cells. They are simpler versions of human cells and better understood when it comes to basic cellular processes – helping researchers better link a drug to a particular bioprocess.
Converting dirty aluminium foil into a biofuel catalyst
A researcher at Queen's University Belfast has discovered a way to convert dirty aluminium foil into a biofuel catalyst, which could help to solve global waste and energy problems.In the UK, around 20,000 tonnes of aluminium foil packaging is wasted each year - enough to stretch to the moon and back. Most of this is landfilled or incinerated as it's usually contaminated by grease and oils, which can damage recycling equipment.
MAKS celebrates 25 years at premier gathering for aviation insiders
Russia’s grand showcase of aviation technology, opened on the 18th July in Zhukovsky near Moscow. ACS has captured exclusive images of the MiG-35, Russia’s 4th-generation multi-role fighter, the Mi-8AMTSH-VA twin-engine Arctic helicopter (known as 'Terminator'), unmanned helicopter VRT300, primary trainer aircraft Yak-152, and the twin-engine short-range aircraft L-410 Turbolet.
Würth collaborates on research into tech driven by Baden-Württemberg SMEs
Despite current stability and positive sales growth in the circuit board industry, it must be presumed that consolidation has not yet come to an end. Circuit board manufacturers are facing enormous price erosion caused by Asian circuit boards, as well as rising manufacturing costs in Europe and generally intense global competition. Reliability, investment in new technologies and manufacturing processes, and innovation are the key to future succes...
Allianz and InsurTech Startup Flock to launch pay-as-you-fly drone insurance
AllianzGlobal Corporate & Specialty SE (AGCS) has workedwith InsurTech startup Flock to develop digital insurance solutions for the growing drones or ‘Unmanned Aircraft Systems’ (UAS) market. The partnership’s first product, to be launched later this year in the UK market, is a mobile app (for Android and iOS devices) enabling operators to purchase ‘pay-as-you-fly’ drone insurance at the touch of a button.
BMW i Ventures invests in GaN Systems
Global provider of GaN power transistors, GaN Systems, has announced the closing of an investment round led by BMW’s investment arm, BMW i Ventures. Consistent with its investment strategy, BMW i Ventures recognises that GaN Systems’ products maximise the efficiency of electronic systems while dramatically reducing size, weight and overall system cost. The investment will be used to expand global sales and accelerate new product devel...
