Low noise infrared camera is looking at the sky
The 6-telescope beam combination instrument developed by the University of Exeter (UK) and the University of Michigan (USA),MIRC-X, together with C-RED One, the low noise infrared camera from First Light Imaging, are opening new perspectives in infrared interferometry for astronomy.The MIRC-X imager is now looking at the sky on the CHARA telescope array, which is supposedly the world’s highestresolution imaging facility in infrared light, l...
Technical innovations based on nature
The „Leonardo da Vinci Center for Bionics” was established over a decade ago at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Since then, the cross-faculty research platform has been promoting the technical development and design of operating principles that nature itself concocted in the evolutionary process: The creative potential in the „Test Laboratory of Nature” is translated into technical solutions.
Optimum drill is determined using a computational model
Improving the design of drills capable of excavating deep holes should increase their performance and longevity. Scientists from A*STAR develop a computational model that can determine the ideal drill design, achieving significant savings.In designing a drill, a crucial consideration is the effective removal of material, known as chips. A standard drill bit, the part of the drill that excavates the hole, removes chips by having a spiral shape tha...
Asset-based management solution slashes costs
There is the £100,000 oscilloscope wedged in front of a door or how about the cupboard containing 20 instrument modules which virtually plead “use me” when the door is opened. Just a couple of the anecdotal evidence examples Microlease has collected on how companies misuse or lose track of their assets. And the test equipment sourcing specialist has concrete research to prove the point.

Lassa fever treatment effective eight days after infection
Led by a group at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, a collaborative team of scientists have successfully protected nonhuman primates against one of the most deadly viruses in the world, Lassa fever, eight days after they became infected. The findings are now available inNature Medicine.
