How microchips are made

The circuit diagrams of the chips are projected onto the plates with light. Almost like a slide. In hundreds of chemical and physical processes, billions of circuits are created on up to 100 chips per plate. Author: ZDF/TerraXpress/GO!Film/Florian Fiedler/Nathan Niedermeier/Jochen Schmidt Transla

What makes lithium ion batteries dangerous? Part 2

What are the hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries, and how can these turn into safety risks? Last week Risk Bites looked at the bottom-line risk challenges of lithium-ion batteries. This week we take a closer look at the technology behind the batteries used in cell phones, laptops and the

How is wind created?

When air is in motion, wind is created. Temperature differences are responsible for this. When air warms up, it rises and colder air flows in. This is the cool wind that we feel. There is almost always wind on the coasts. Author: ZDF/Pur+/Autorenkombinat/Tobias Schönke/Carina Schulz/Jochen Schmidt

The Multi-Store Model How memories are created

As you read this text, your eyes send signals to your working memory, which briefly stores each word to ensure that you understand the sentence without confusion. The reason you understand what you're reading is because of your long-term memory—at least that's the theory of the multi-store model of
