While trains are one of the safest means of transport in Germany, even rail transportation is not entirely free of accidents. According to the German Federal Statistical Office, 490 accidents involving personal injury occurred on the nation’s railways in 2022 alone. The new assistance system rail forward assist from Bosch Engineering ensures greater safety in rail transportation and thus helps to further reduce the number of accidents.
In the first half of 2024, the Salzgitter Group recorded earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of € 233.6 million and a pre-tax profit of € 11.5 million. Europe’s downbeat economic trend, above all in Germany, placed a significant burden on the development of business in the steel-related business units. By contrast, the Technology Business Unit’s very gratifying earnings and the contribution from the participating investment in Aurubis AG boosted the consolidated result.
It was upbeat news for the Salzgitter Mannesmann Grobblech GmbH plant in Mülheim an der Ruhr. The Supervisory Board and Executive Board of Salzgitter AG gave the final green light for the construction of a new hot straightening machine – one of the largest single investments ever committed to this site. The Austrian company Buma Engineering & Anlagenbau GmbH was selected as the partner for the construction of the hot straightener.

By eye, it’s impossible to pick out the exact boundaries of the superclusters, which are among the largest structures in the universe. But that’s because they are not defined by their edges, but by the common motion of their components.
Rapid energy generation with eco-friendly methods is the need of the hour as the world rushes to find better alternatives to fossil fuels.
In this context, a company has come up with an innovative idea of setting up a nuclear reactor almost a mile deep below Earth’s surface.
The conditions below the ground would remove the need for large pressure vessels, according to Deep Fission, a Berkeley-based producer of nuclear power.
