To make matters worse, the work of rescue personnel can become extremely dangerous. Because every minute counts when the work of saving lives is concerned, robot-supported systems are increasingly ...

Like all galaxies, our Milky Way is home to a strange substance called dark matter. Dark matter is invisible, betraying its presence only through its gravitational pull. Without dark matter holding them together, our galaxy's speedy stars would fly off in all directions. The nature of dark matter is a mystery -- a mystery that a new study has only deepened. "After completing this study, we know less about dark matter than we did before," said lead author Matt Walker, a Hubble Fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The standard cosmological model ...

Researchers will showcase these and other combinations of cleaning methods and equipment at the parts2clean trade fair, October 25-27, 2011, in Stuttgart (Hall 1, Stand F 610 / G 707).

For the bakers who make the éclairs out of pastry dough, though, the entire procedure is far less relaxing: they make the dough using a special machine that they operate by hand. Once made, the dough must be processed at once ...

For instance, how do you store the electricity in cars? Or what power networks do you need? And anyway, how do you pay for charging your battery? Two years ago, researchers from 33 Fraunhofer institutes ...

In "Fraunhofer's System Research for Electromobility" the AutoTram® was used as an experimental platform. It was ...
