There is no doubt that the aviation industry urgently needs climate-friendly alternatives to burning kerosene. However, there is no consensus on how this can be achieved. One thing is clear: it will not be as easy as with a car. Because battery-powered electric planes can only travel a few hundred kilometers. This is clearly not … Read more
In 1967, US intelligence analysts discovered on satellite images a previously unknown structure about 100 meters long. It was therefore initially referred to as the “Caspian Sea Monster”. Later it turned out that it was by no means a mythical creature. Rather, it was the work of Soviet designer Rostislav Evgenievich Alexeyev that the Americans … Read more
Internationally, students at the Technical University of Munich have already caused a stir when it comes to Hyperloop. The Warr team managed to win the Elon Musk initiated Hyperloop Pod Competition several times. However, for this they always had to travel to the United States. But in the future, they can also test their developments … Read more
Fundamental research is often time-consuming and labor-intensive, but nevertheless crucial for technological progress. An example of this could be observed in the future at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics. They have been working there for decades to better understand the physics within the quantum world of atoms, ions, electrons and protons. Because many … Read more
The story of David versus Goliath is already in the Bible. This shows that even small attackers can be dangerous. The top military officials of the US Navy know this too. The increasing use of drones is probably of particular concern to you. For example, in the battle for the Nagorno-Karabakh region, these provided the … Read more
Airlines around the world are working frantically to improve their own carbon footprint. However, it will not be possible to get by completely without climate emissions in one fell swoop. Instead, experts assume a gradual development. Smaller aircraft should therefore initially be deployed climate-neutrally at shorter distances. Finally, according to this theory, long-haul flights without … Read more

Digitization has an impact on all aspects of life, from everyday life to the world of work. Learning will also change as part of the digital transformation. Central to this is the individual guidance of the individual: Students and pupils do not have the same starting conditions. They learn at different speeds and with different … Read more
The fact that technical devices are becoming smaller and lighter is not an entirely new development. In principle, this also applies to loudspeakers. Now, however, the engineers at MIT could have made another giant leap in development. Because they have developed a new type of loudspeaker that is as thin as a sheet of paper, … Read more
