Galvanic isolation
Coupling of two circuits without direct electrical contact. For example, a transformer can transmit the signal without the cables being connected to each other.
Heat conduction welding
In heat conduction welding, the laser beam melts the joining partners along the joint. The melts flow into each other and solidify to form the weld seam.
Inductors
Inductors are electrical components that consist of a coil. This coil can be wound around a ferromagnetic core.
Laser Doppler Vibrometry
Optical and non-destructive measurement method for determining vibrations. It is based on the Doppler effect and interferometry.
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF)
Laser-Powder-Bed-Fusion is an additive manufacturing process (3D printing) in which powdered material is applied in layers to a base plate and melted using laser radiation.
Manometric respiration test
Microorganisms consume oxygen (O2) and produce carbon dioxide (CO2) as they metabolize the test substance in closed bottle systems. The CO2 is absorbed using an absorber, resulting in a pressure change within the system that can be used to infer biodegradation.
Material homogeneity
Homogeneous materials have a uniform composition throughout and cannot be mechanically separated into different materials.
Microcosms
Model test systems holding up to several hundred liters, designed to best mimic the complexity of real aquatic ecosystems. The systems are intended to help close the gap between laboratory experiments and reality.
Microgravity
Microgravity refers to 1-millionth of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (µg ≙ 10-6 g, 1 g corresponds to the acceleration due to gravity on Earth at 9.81 m/s2). It is also considered synonymous with weightlessness in science. In the Einstein Elevator, the goal is to achieve microgravity (≈1∙10-6 g) for the large experimental […]
