German researchers at Saarland University and the Center for Mechatronics and Automation Technology (ZeMA) are working to ...

Miniaturized pumps and valves that rely on the motion of dielectric elastomeric silicone films are being created in Saarland, Germany. Not only are these devices lightweight, compact and ...

When we mention vacuum technology, it’s not impossible that many of you will instantly turn your minds to vacuum tubes, and think about triodes, or pentodes. But while there is a lot to interest ...

ITER's advanced cryopumps will maintain the crucial vacuum inside the fusion reactor's vacuum vessel, supporting plasma ...

That's when a British scientist named John A. Fleming made a vacuum tube known today as a diode. Then the diode was known as a "valve," because it forced current in the tube to travel exclusively ...

Since few of us drive around with the throttle wide open—lest we draw unwanted attention—the engine is forced to draw air through a partially closed butterfly valve that creates a vacuum in ...
