Sustainability, an Empty Phrase?
In extractive gas analysis, the gas sample pump is the heart of the system. It must reliably transport the sample gas from the sampling point to the analyser. The sample gas is often moist, corrosive, and/or toxic. Therefore, the wetted parts of the gas sample pump must be made of particularly resistant material and have a long service life.

Measuring particle size distribution during the grinding process
How pharmaceuticals act, how efficient catalysts are and how effective and accurate printing inks function all depend on the size of the nanoparticles they contain. However, there are as of yet no methods for monitoring the particle size distribution during grinding processes. In the EU-funded PAT4Nano project, a consortium from industry and research has spent the last four years looking for practicable approaches for such inline measurements. The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen has developed a promising laser-based method that could soon make such measurements possible.

Einstein Telescope launches new era in astronomy
It’s still just a plan, but a new telescope could soon be measuring gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are something like the sound waves of the universe. They are created, for example, when black holes or neutron stars collide. The future gravitational wave detector, the Einstein Telescope, will use the latest laser technology to better understand these waves and, thus, our universe. One possible location for the construction of this telescope is the border triangle of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
