Multiple patents for inductive energy transmission
The researchers working with Nejila Parspour at the iew develop wireless electrical road networks, where electric cars and commercial vehicles can be automatically charged, either when moving or stationary, for example when parked on a parking lot or waiting at traffic lights.

Fatal attraction
Biologists from the University of Jena publish study on the relationship between flying insects and light pollution Jena, the "city of light", has its dark sides. If you look up at the night sky from the city centre, you can only make out the brightest stars. Lighting in the streets and shop windows is too bright, obscuring the view of the night sky.

Visa costs higher for people from poor countries
Research team including Göttingen University sheds light on global inequality in travel permit costs How much do people have to pay for a travel permit to another country? A research team from Göttingen, Paris, Pisa and Florence has investigated the costs around the world. What they found revealed a picture of great inequality.

Contactless high performance power transmission
Superconducting coils for contactless power transmission in the kilowatt range Such devices could be placed on a charging station whenever they are not in use. This would make it possible to effectively utilize even short idle times to recharge their batteries. However, the currently available transmission systems for high performance recharging in the kilowatt range and above are large and heavy, since they are based on copper coils.
