Driver Assistance Systems: Part 12 - Multi-Collision Brake

Just under a quarter of all accidents resulting in personal injury involve more than one collision. The multi-collision brake from Volkswagen can help prevent follow-on collisions or mitigate their severity. The multi-collision brake automatically initiates braking after a collision, within the sys

Q 11 Collision Theory

In a simple model presentation, the basic principle of chemical reactions is demonstrated. The particles must collide in the correct orientation and with the necessary energy (speed). Original: "Wolfgang Dukorn" Original: German. All translations in this video have been done by the alugha AI.

Video: Dawn - one year at the asteroid Vesta

From the more than 28,000 images acquired by Dawn between July 2011 and August 2012, DLR scientists computed a global digital surface model of Vesta. Ralf Jaumann, head of DLR's Dawn scientific team, explains a few spectacular observations with the help of this virtual flight over Vesta. The animati
