  • Material solutions for ADAS

    Functional materials specified for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) include gaskets, thermal interface materials and films for light management and lens protection.

  • Study: Far-UVC light eliminates airborne virus in an occupied room

    Unlike conventional germicidal UVC light — which kills viruses and bacteria but can only typically be used in unoccupied rooms because direct exposure to it can potentially harm skin and eyes — far-UVC light can be used in occupied spaces.

  • New device promises to detect, monitor blood loss

    The team is developing a mobile device capable of detecting blood pressure waveforms, which correspond with the volume within the blood vessels, and can thus be used to determine if blood volume is falling as a result of hemorrhaging.
