iBMB, a spin-off of the University of Basilicata, developed a simulation app to help oncologists better monitor and assess solid tumor progression for breast cancer. The app is ready for implementation in a clinical setting. Read More

Wood Thilsted, a leader in offshore engineering, used structural analysis to design boat landings that can withstand the relentless force of the sea and frequent interactions with 200-tonne vessels. Read More

NASA combines thermal modeling and experimental testing to find the best compressor design for the system that keeps the air breathable at the International Space Station. Read More

Swiss research organization Empa built multiphysics models and compiled a simulation application that feeds results into a smartphone app, which is used by smallholder farmers and traders to predict the shelf life of fresh produce, ultimately reducing food waste. Read More

Time, temperature, material selections, weather conditions, and casting technique can all affect the early-age performance of concrete. To help them make informed decisions, Heidelberg Materials puts multiphysics simulation into the hands of contractors via a compiled simulation app. Read More

Open-plan offices offer a collaborative workspace environment. However, they also allow for frequent noise distractions from neighboring colleagues. To improve the acoustical conditions of an open-plan workspace, Swiss consultancy Zeugin Bauberatungen turned to modeling and simulation. Read More

Semiconductor manufacturing and particle physics research depend on high-vacuum or ultra-high-vacuum (HV/UHV) conditions. To help develop a better ionization gauge for measuring pressure in HV/UHV environments, INFICON of Liechtenstein used multiphysics modeling to refine their design. Read More

Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA) is working on hydrogen-powered vehicles. The TRINA team is using simulation to help speed up the R&D process for fuel cell flow field plates. Read More

India’s transportation sector is pursuing ambitious electrification goals, and so manufacturers must optimize battery management systems (BMS). Exicom uses multiphysics simulation to understand the thermal behavior of battery packs, which helps to calibrate vehicle BMS designs. Read More

Decaying seashells can release calcium carbonates, which help neutralize carbon dioxide in seawater. But ocean acidification threatens the shell formation process. Olivier Sulpis of Utrecht University has developed a novel reactive-transport model of deep-sea galvanization processes. Read More
