By reviewing all materials starting from scratch and applying an ALD* (atomic layer deposition) technique, we succeeded in creating ALD-MCPs (microchannel plates) that ensure low noise and high signal multiplication (gain) without using materials containing lead. Eliminating lead is great step forward because its use is restricted in the RoHS directive issued by the European […]

Touchless operation of machinery for hygiene management, measurement tools for ensuring social distance and labour-saving autonomous robots are becoming more common in everyday life. Today, distance sensors are playing an increasingly important role as a key enabling component in the development of such technologies. Distance Image sensors measure the distance to an object per pixel, […]

Infrared spectroscopy is a versatile tool for numerous tasks such as; process analysis, sorting, healthcare and food inspection. Since infrared light penetrates into materials, the composition of the material itself is observed instead of measuring only the surface. This is possible due to the fact that molecular bindings are always in a state of oscillation. […]

Vor Kurzem wurden die fünf Digitalisierungsthemen 2019 der Entscheiderfabrik ausgezeichnet. Das Projektteam aus Industrie und Kliniken konnte innerhalb von einem Jahr aufzeigen wie sich im Rahmen der Digitalisierung der Pathologie der Workflow verändert und welche neuen Chancen die Arbeit mit den Daten ermöglicht. Die digitale Pathologie bietet schnellere, zuverlässigere und reproduzierbarere Ergebnisse. Der Ersatz der […]

Im Mai 2019 wurde eine Ergänzung der Basler Konvention zur Regulierung von grenzüberschreitendem Transport und Behandlung giftiger Abfälle nach Zustimmung von ca. 180 Ländern beschlossen. Ziel dieser Ergänzung war es, den Export und Import von Plastikmüll in die Konvention miteinzuschließen. Dies erregte große Aufmerksamkeit, weil es die Verantwortung der Industrieländer betrifft, die sich auf Drittländer […]
