MOONRISE: Bringing 3D printing to the moon – Moondust melted under lunar conditions

The spheres appear inconspicuous – but they are unique. They consist of moon dust, molten under moon gravity in the course of the MOONRISE project. The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) together with the Institute of Space Systems (IRAS) of the Technical University of Braunschweig carried out this unique experiment in the Einstein-Elevator of the Hannover Institute of Technology (HITec) of the Leibniz University Hannover (LUH).

Clear vision – project for safer laser treatment of floaters started

Vitreous opacities, so-called mouches volantes or floaters, disturb many people in their vision. Up to now, the treatment of this age-related change in the eye is often not recommended. In a new research project, the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) wants to lay the foundation for a safer laser-based treatment method.
