The quaternary mirror (M4) of the Extremely Large Telescope will be equipped with an Adaptive Optics Unit, in order to compensate the effects of the atmospheric turbulence. The highly accurate, closed loop actuation of the thin mirror is provided by 5316 contactless actuators. Their core ... Read More
Arc current welding is a widespread process in heavy industry for the assembly of metallic components. In order to ensure the good quality of assemblies welds, it is appropriate to master the welding process but also to have a deep understanding of interactions with the weld pool and ... Read More
Dielectric elastomers are a promising group of smart materials, which finds application within many fields such as soft robotics, wave-energy harvesting, and loud speakers. A dielectric elastomer consists of a thin, stretchable polymer film sandwiched between two compliant electrodes. ... Read More
We modify a Tunnel Effect Microscope (STM) with the purpose of analyzing the local production of photons in the electrostatic junction during the image taking process. The novelty of this project compared to previous studies is that it is intended to be developed from the beginning as ... Read More
Applications of mid-infrared photonic technologies are fueled by innovative advances in quantum cascade lasers, and other key optical components like MEMS gratings and fiber-optics. The integration of devices into optoelectronic packages for stable operation at high powers poses also ... Read More
The acceleration of protons and ions by highly intense, ultra-short laser pulses is a very active field of experimental and theoretical research. From laser-plasma interactions the emission of a strong electromagnetic pulse (EMP) has often been reported as a side effect. It potentially ... Read More
Damages caused by lightning overvoltages remains to be an important issue for electrical industry, putting limitations for efficiency of transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Modern solutions for lightning protection such as multichamber arresters (MCA) for overhead ... Read More
Introduction: Acoustic levitators are used to levitate small samples (ca. 0.01 - 6 mm) at a stable position in a gas or liquid environment. Acoustic levitators were first developed und used for experiments in space (1970s, by NASA / ESA), the application later became terrestrial (1990s). ... Read More
Micromachined ultrasound transducers can work as a sensor or actuator for measuring fluid speed and direction, mixing and exciting particles (sonication), taking images (ultrasonography), non-destructive testing and many other purposes in various fields. In this work, a COMSOL ... Read More
In the last few years printable electronics has gained a great deal of interest since it promises mechanical flexibility and extremely low production costs. One approach to achieve printable electronic devices relies on the usage of specific inks containing e.g. dispersed semiconductor ... Read More
