Unter anderem an Implantaten sollen sie Anwendung finden: In einem aktuellen Projekt arbeiten Innsbrucker Ionenphysiker an neuartigen Nanobeschichtungen aus Gold. Die neue Hüfte soll gut im Körper anwachsen, der Dialysefilter nicht verstopfen: Um das zu erreichen, könnten sie in Zukunft zum Einsatz kommen. (more…)
Decades of research on how bats use echolocation to keep a focus on their targets not only lends support to a long debated neuroscience hypothesis about vision but also could lead to smarter sonar and radar technologies.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Amid a neuroscience debate about how people and animals focus on distinct objects within cluttered scenes, some of the newest and best evidence comes from the way bats “see” with their ears, according to a new paper in the Journal of Experimental Biology. In fact, the perception process in question could improve sonar and radar technology. (more…)
