A gene drive is a radical new way of re-engineering the genetic makeup of an entire species - including harmful insects like the mosquito. But as the technology steams head, fueled by powerful gene editing techniques coming out of synthetic biology like CRISPR Cas9, what are the risks, and how can w
How safe are self-driving cars? And how safe should they be before they're widely used? Risk Bites dives into the safety of autonomous vehicles, and looks at how we make sense of their risks and benefits. With scientist and emerging technologies expert Andrew Maynard. The video is part of Risk Bite
Is using a phone while driving dangerous? In the second of a two-parter, Risk Bites looks at cell phone use and distracted driving. This week's Risk Bites team: David Faulkner (Script, post-production) Ray Bingham (Technical Advice) Andrew Maynard (all the other stuff) Additional information:
RDE stands for Real Driving Emissions. Unlike the NEDC and WLTP, the emission measurements are performed in real traffic conditions rather than on a test rig. The exhaust emissions (nitrogen oxides and particles/particulate matter) recorded while driving in traffic are called real emissions. Follow
Video recording of the online conference on October 15, 2020 Guests: - Dr. Ricarda Steinbrecher (Molecular biologist and geneticist, board member of the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility – ENSSER) - Ali Tapsoba de Goamma (Human rights and environmental act
VECO-Drive is an innovative solution combining a mechanical planetary gear with frequency controlled servo motors. The electrical superimposing gear is the most efficient way to make speed variable. Since only a small amount of rated power is needed, an overall component efficiency of greater than 9
This video is from 2016 Summer Olympics 2016 and Zika? On February 8th, 2016, the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency of international concern regarding Zika virus. Three to four million infections are possibly forecasted in the Americas over the next 12 months, but what i
Imagine the drive technology of the future. How do you imagine a partner who will accompany you into this future? Voith helps you master the challenges of the megatrends in your industry, wherever you are in the world. Many years of know-how in drive technology and forward-looking thinking and acti
The water scarcity on the blue planet. Most of us don't even think about water. In order to get it - we just turn on the tap. But for nearly 1 billion people in developing countries, getting access to safe drinking water is not an easy task. This simpleshow explains why our blue planet lacks water.
Power functions simply explained graphically - positive/negative odd/even exponents & examples. The equation of a power function is f(x)=ax^n. a is the prefactor, n is an exponent. x^2 or x^4 are functions with positive even exponents, x^3 or x^5 are functions with positive odd exponents. x^-2 or x^
How much fuel does a vehicle consume? Volkswagen can now answer this question far more precisely with the new and standardised WLTP driving cycle. The new test cycle for measuring fuel consumption is more closely oriented on everyday driving behaviour. Follow Volkswagen on Social Media: Facebook:
