#DLRmagazine 153 – Sun at your fingertips

In the April issue of the DLRmagazine, we are switching on the Sun. This is, of course, artificial and reserved for solar researchers in Jülich! The honeycomb assembly of 149 individually controllable radiator modules achieves 10,000 times the intensity of the solar radiation at Earth' surface.

Further articles discuss the influence of bionics on aviation, lightweight rocket boosters for space travel and the human factors involved in transportation. One article takes us back to the Russian space station Mir and our scientific contributions to the MIR '92 and MIR '97 missions.

Lacking Energy? You Need More of This

Lacking Energy? You Need More of This

B vitamins are collectively known as the powerhouse vitamins because they are involved in many important processes in our bodies that involve the creation of both new cells and energy. All of the B vitamins play a different and important role in the body

Multivitamins may enhance mood and energy, new study says

I think that consuming your vitamins via whole foods is the best option, but this study is worth taking a look at (but I would also like to know if a vitamin company sponsored this study). 

A daily multivitamin supplement may enhance mood and energy, according to new research conducted at Swinburne University of Technology.

One hundred and fourteen participants - both male and female - completed the study. Half took a multivitamin  and the other half took a placebo supplement.

When the researchers compared the experiences, they found significant increased energy and enhanced mood in the multivitamin group compared to the placebo group, with participants reporting feeling more energetic and alert and in a better emotional state. No negative effects were reported.

Can you imagine being able to recharge your battery using nothing but the EMF already surrounding you? science fiction you say?  Well, apparently a student has built a device that does just that

"Dennis Siegel, a student at the University of the Arts in Bremen, Germany has built what he calls an electromagnetic harvester—it converts electromagnetic fields in the immediate environment into electricity to recharge a common AA battery. He's won a 2nd place award in the HfK Bremen Hochschulpreis 2013 competition for Digitale Medien, for his efforts."

MIT develops implantable fuel cell powered by glucose

MIT develops implantable fuel cell powered by glucose

Although the technology has been around since 1970s, MIT fuel cell is fabricated from silicon, using the same technology used to make semiconductor electronic chips. This feature allows it to be integrated with other circuits that would be needed for brain implant of the future.
