ADAS Calibrations Conducted in Poorly Controlled Environments Could Drive Up Costs for Insurance Companies, Advises ADAS Expert

Insurers should be concerned about the growth of aftermarket companies that conduct calibrations of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in poorly controlled environments, writes Jason Bigelow, founder of Advanced ADAS Calibration Centers, in the December issue of Body Shop Business magazine.

Exyte Builds First ExyCell® Facility in Shanghai

Exyte Builds First ExyCell® Facility in Shanghai

Exyte has successfully completed the construction of the first ExyCell® facility in China, the CliniMACS Cell Factory® of Miltenyi Biotec, a global provider of integrated solutions for Advanced Therapy Medical Products (ATMPs). The patented ExyCell technology was developed by Exyte as an end-to-end, integrated facility solution with standardized and modularized elements. These pre-configured and pre-fabricated modules enable fast-track construction thereby shortening time-to-market for new therapeutics and vaccines. The ExyCell facility is installed on the fourth floor of the ATLATL building located in the Zhangjiang High-Tech Park, and Miltenyi Biotec is now transferring production technology from Germany to China with regular operations for ATMP production is expected by autumn 2021. The facility will soon be open to visitors by appointment.

Low Cost Solar Cells for Mass Production

Low Cost Solar Cells for Mass Production

An international team of university researchers today reports solving a major fabrication challenge for perovskite cells — the intriguing potential challengers to silicon-based solar cells. These crystalline structures show great promise because they can absorb almost all wavelengths of light. Perovskite solar cells are already commercialized on a small scale, but recent vast improvements in their power conversion efficiency (PCE) are driving interest in using them as low-cost alternatives for solar panels.

Closing the gap: On the road to terahertz electronics

Closing the gap: On the road to terahertz electronics

A team headed by the TUM physicists Alexander Holleitner and Reinhard Kienberger has succeeded for the first time in generating ultrashort electric pulses on a chip using metal antennas only a few nanometers in size, then running the signals a few millimeters above the surface and reading them in again a controlled manner. The technology enables the development of new, powerful terahertz components.

New Covalent Organic Frameworks with Precise Control

New Covalent Organic Frameworks with Precise Control

covalent organic frameworks (COFs), were discovered in 2005, but their quality has been poor and preparation methods are uncontrolled. Now a Northwestern University research team is the first to produce high-quality versions of these materials, demonstrate their superior properties and control their growth. The researchers developed a two-step growth process that produces organic polymers with crystalline, two-dimensional structures.
