 AACS electronics can handle tough situations. Now, wireless sensors, which harvest are own energy, monitor aircraft engines. This is where Peter Nilsson heating samples under vacuum.
AAC Microtec and Volvo Aero have cottoned on a hot trend: harvesting waste of energy. Wireless sensors in aircraft engines will be powered by energy from the environment.
The phenomenon known as energy harvesting, energy harvesting, and is a growing trend in the scientific community. But although the industries are investing, one example is the Uppsala company AAC Microtec, which together with Volvo Aero develops a wireless system of sensors to monitor aircraft engines.

 Bacteria tracked and killed by a red light.
With the help of nano-crystals have a group of researchers managed to identify and kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria?
A group of researchers associated with the University of Muenster have shown that the zeolite L crystals can adhere to the bacteria, highlight them and eventually kill them. Doctor Cristian Strassert is one of the researchers.
Nano-particles have been added that allows them to attach to the bacteria. The particles are also provided with a dye that shows green color under a flu-orensmikroskop, which makes it possible to identify the bacteria.

 Helmholtz Center for Environmental
Emission-free driving, clean water, great progress in the fight against cancer and HIV - the wonders of technology solves all our problems?
The driver provides gas, the car accelerates, but from the exhaust stream is not the usual exhaust plumes, but only hot air. This is because of the unusual fuel instead of diesel or gasoline engines ignite in tiny metal particles, called nanoparticles of iron, aluminum or boron The combustion are oxides of a particle completely recovered. For this drive should be standard engines hardly modified.

Vibrating molecules Nanosaiten catch
 Nanosaite as a sensor molecule
Nanoscientists from Munich are an important step forward towards the artificial nose succeeded. You have Nanosaiten silicon nitride, which as probe individual molecules erschnuppern can.
Artificial noses are so-called Nano-Electromechanical Systems (NEMS), chips, on which many Nanosaiten thin with a diameter of 100 nanometers (one ten thousandth millimeter), are appropriate. These strings are coated so that a particular molecule places attract. To measure the strings into vibrations. When a molecule to determine the string vibrates measurably heavier and slower, "A measurement of the oscillation period, thus allowing chemical substances molecule demonstrate exactly," says Quirin Unterreith Meier, a physicist at the Ludwig-Maximizing- Universidad (LMU) in Munich.

Using innovative techniques and modern equipment group of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Institute of Technology) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), United States conducted a direct measurement of the energy spectrum of charge carriers in grafene - so promising two-dimensional form of carbon, the properties that intrigue researchers now already 5 years old.
The results of experiments and equipment used for research, scientists have published in the journal Science (Observing the Quantization of Zero Mass Carriers in Graphene)
