Researchers from the Hohenstein Institute in Bönnigheim developed a system that can be used to prevent neurological damage after successful resuscitation of a cardiac arrest. It is a relatively simple and non-invasive method which employs surface cooling of the body without the need for electric power. That makes these textile cooling pads ideal as additional… »
As we previously mentioned in many of our articles about architecture, abundance of daylight is very important since it influences our mood and efficiency since it stimulates the brain. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute have worked with industry partners to develop a coating for panes of glass that lets through more light at wavelengths which… »
Unlike Alcoa EcoClean coating for panels which was developed to clean the air around us, the researchers from the Fraunhofer Photocatalysis Alliance, which includes researchers from ten Fraunhofer institutes, have decided to combine their expertise in this field to use titanium dioxide particles in a coating which could be used to destroy bacteria, fungi and… »
We recently published an article about Canon’s vision of augmented reality which can be used during the design process, and in this article we’re going to write about idea which emerged from cooperation between Fraunhofer Institute and BASF SE who are jointly developing virtual reality (VR) software which could be used to plan and test… »
Many research groups around the world are developing new ways to present media and improve information interaction, ranging from images projected onto fog to various solutions regarding holography, but an international team of researchers managed to produce Colloidal Display – a display that uses ultrasonic sound waves to alter soap film’s properties in order to… »
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have developed an innovative solution that allows creation of 3D printed templates of filament networks which can be used to rapidly create vasculature and improve the function of engineered living tissues. Unlike other approaches which involve 3D printing in layers, Penn researchers decided to accelerate this delicate process and… »
In a joint effort with Grainger and Worrall Ltd. of the United Kingdom, the researchers at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) developed a novel casting technology that could be used for production of heavy-duty diesel engines with a higher peak cylinder pressure capability than current state-of-the-art engines. The technology has received a 2012 R&D 100… »
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers developed a sustainable flame retardant technology for polyurethane foam. Based on clay, the new flame retardant coating can easily be applied onto home furnishings made of polyurethane foam – a material widely used for furniture cushions, carpet padding, children’s car seats, and other items – without affecting… »
