VDMA Electronics Production Equipment: Growth track for 2014 and 2015 confirmed: Business climate survey shows robust industry sector

According to the current business climate survey of the VDMA Sector Group Productronics the German manufacturers of components, machinery and equipment for electronics production expect an increase in turnover of 9.8 percent for the current year. This means that the apprehended special situation of photovoltaics production equipment which had dampened the expectations from nine to 3.2 percent reported in the April survey have not occurred. Turnover expectations for 2015 of 4.7 growth give evidence of a still very optimistic industry. Growth impulses increasingly arise from surface mount technology and board assembly.

Current trouble spots have low influence on electronics production
"While VDMA has corrected its forecast for the overall machinery industry to one percent for 2014, the sentiment in electronics production is very robust", says Rainer Kurtz, CEO of kurtz-ersa Group and chairman of the VDMA Sector Group Productronics. "The current trouble spots are of minor importance for electronics production locations. The generally lower growth in China does not effect our industry much, either. It is compensated by other regions like e.g. the US. The devaluation of the Euro currency is very helpful in this respect", Kurtz resumes at the end of the customers' trade show electronica in Munich. Here the "Internet of Things" has prominently been presented as the driver for new markets.

Pseudospin-driven spin relaxation mechanism in graphene

Members of ICN2 Theoretical and Computational Nanoscience Group unveil an unprecedented spin relaxation mechanism unique to graphene, and related with entanglement of spin and pseudospin quantum degrees of freedom in presence of weak spin-orbit coupling effects. This phenomenon revisits years of controversies and opens a new window into the challenge of manipulating spin degree of freedom in future information-processing technologies.
