The invention from the University of Bayreuth uses the internal oxidation for specific material influecing in the production of highly porous and temperature-stable ceramics.This way the porous structures of materials in terms of porosiry, pore size distribution and surface can be influenced in a targeted way. The invention could be used for filters, catalyst support, insulation and much more applications.

The lack of extremely high-performing explosives with both adequate sensitivities for use and facile preparation is well known. The new invention from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Germany is the synthesis and application of the two new high performing compounds ABTOX and TKX50 and shows a great detonation velocity and outstanding sensitivity - improving safety and performance.

The invention from the TUM (Technische Universität München) could help to engineer environmentally friendly car engines: In order to optimize processes which take place under high pressure, in many cases a monitoring system is necessary. This concerns in particular the optimisation of motor combustion processes and chemical reactions which must be made accessible and analysable for the monitoring. In case of the optimisation of internal combustion engines especially lowering the emissions, increasing the engine power and improving the motor efficiency are targeted. In order to take the right steps for reduction of the pollutant emissions it is important to know their origin mechanisms in the combustion chamber. Furthermore it is important to be able to examine the gaseous components in the combustion chamber. The invention now allows for a better monitoring of these processes and components.

An innovative laser for wavelengths between 3 and 4 μm, which could be applied in the fields of Electrical engineering & electronics and Measurement technology & microsystems, has been developed by the university. Infrared lasers with wavelengths in the range of 3 -4 μm are generally required in sensor systems for e.g. trace gas detection, as fundamental vibrationalrotational transitions (e.g. for C-H compounds) are in this wavelength range. |
Magnetically guarded rooms are used for the measurement of the smallest magnetic fields. They are e.g. apllied in the medicine with the magnetic encephalography. Here the smallest magnetic fields in the brain or the heart are being detected to diagnose illnesses or prepare skull-surgery. Because the magnetic fields to be measured lie in the Femtotesla area, external interfering influences must be guarded. Therefore special rooms produced of Mu metal are being used. Mostly a counterfield is generated with the help of Helmholtz reels to minimise interfering fields. The costs for the production of these rooms are rather high due to the large amounts of Mu metal needed. Moreover, the measurements themselves are in general carried out with superconductive SQUIDs. Nevertheless, these must be cooled with liquid helium what leads to high running costs. A new invention from the Technische Universität München (TUM) is improving the situation now.
