The SensHy proposal focuses on novel photonic gas sensors for the detection of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons can be detected most sensitively in the 3.0 to 3.6 µm wavelength range. Two particular challenging applications with significant market potential are investigated within the project. Unfortunately there are no application grade semiconductor lasers in this wavelength range yet: On the short-wa ...

"The balance between bone resorption and bone formation determines the mass and structural integrity of the skeleton and is disturbed in osteoporosis. In contrast to the molecular mechanisms regulating bone resorption, knowledge of the mechanisms regulating bone formation is limited. A recent breakthrough has been the identification of a link between bone mass in humans with rare bone disorders an ...
