Whenever electricity flows through a cable, some energy is lost as heat. Superconductors could one day change that. In these materials, electricity flows without resistance. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf have now examined a particularly promising class of superconductors under extreme pressure for the first time — using miniature magnetic lenses smaller than a human hair. | more
An excavator that lasts longer. A factory that uses less energy. Researchers at Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden have developed a solution for exactly that. With a new laser direct cladding process, they can protect metal parts from wear more effectively than before – while reducing energy consumption by up to 90 percent. | more
