In the field of mechanical engineering and process engineering, manufacturing and automation processes of various types of machines are examined and presented. The increasing importance of information technologies is also taken into account, as is the responsible use of existing resources in terms of sustainability. In addition to dealing with vehicles of all kinds, the broad category also includes traffic or supply technologies in plant construction. With the help of our offer, you can get an overview as well as a deeper insight into the processes, background and perspectives of the largest industrial sector in Germany. If you would like to publish a manuscript in this category yourself, we would be happy to support you in this process.
A water pipe that purifies its contents as it flows? A coating that breaks down air pollutants as they flow by? A surface that disinfects itself and keeps itself clean? What sounds like science fiction becomes possible with the photocatalyst titanium dioxide. Under UV light, titanium dioxide is able to purify air and water, kill bacteria on its surface and break down fats. Although these properties have been known since the 1970s, the breakthrough of photocatalytically active titanium dioxide is...
ver the past decades, a world without private vehicles and the associated individualization of mobility has become more and more unimaginable for the very most of us. The worldwide quantity of vehicles running with a combustion engine still keeps on growing to numbers far beyond belief, but equally do the problems, provoked by this evolution - political, economical and environmental problems that show our overall dependency on petroleum. Can the electric vehicle become an acceptable solution for the future of...
