Hyundai and BASF – The Chemical Company are presenting their jointly developed i-flow concept car at the Geneva Motor Show. Visitors can get a first-hand view of the technologies and materials involved at Hyundai’s booth 1031 in Hall 1. These innovations have not been combined in automobiles to date and illustrate possibilities for mobility in the future. For example, the interior of the i-flow offers a revolutionary seating concept, and the high-gloss Liquid Metal coating is not only eye-catching but also environmentally friendly thanks to the use of a waterborne paint system.
The sportiest and most powerful motorcycle from BMW, the new S 1000 RR, draws its combustion air from an intake system with a built-in air filter function made from Ultramid® B3WGM24 HP, an extremely dimensionally stable polyamide (PA) from BASF. In motorcycle design, this component is called an airbox. For this high-performance motorcycle, the Stuttgart and Öhringen facilities of MAHLE (Germany) developed and manufactured the first airbox with an electrically adjustable runner length.
German and US researchers have produced a super-sharp, strong, and resilient carbon tip that has earned top place as the industry's current benchmark. Funded by the EU, the diamond-like tip is 3,000 times more wear-resistant at the nanoscale than a silicon oxide tip, making it ideal for use in atomic imaging, probe-based data storage, and other emerging applications.
To monitor the real-time performance of bone implants is the challenge of "Smart Hip", an innovative medical device that aims to reduce the number of surgical interventions in the hip area and regenerate bone tissue by using non-evasive methods.
MIT's Rahul Sarpeshkar is now applying architectural principles from ultra-energy-efficient cells to the design of low-power, highly parallel, hybrid analog-digital electronic circuits. Such circuits could one day be used to create ultra-fast supercomputers that predict complex cell responses to drugs.
MIT researchers have discovered a way to make microelectromechanical devices, or MEMS, by stamping them onto a plastic film. That should significantly reduce their cost, but it also opens up the possibility of large sheets of sensors that could, say, cover the wings of an airplane to gauge their structural integrity.
