  • Adhesive additive eases a sticky recycling issue

    Adhesive residue left on recyclable materials can now be dissolved with degradable polymers.

  • Berry Global rolls out new version of NorDiVent film

    The film for powdered products now incorporates up to 50% recycled plastic content.

  • A fine finish: New manual spray gun models from Sames

    These models promise less operator fatigue while delivering energy savings and superior finishing quality.

  • Benefits of electropolishing for the medical industry

    From implantable devices to surgical instruments, electropolishing offers medical device manufacturers a reliable, high-quality, ultraclean surface finish that improves fit, finish and function — and yields better patient outcomes.

  • Corrosion and BlueStream announce subsea monopile corrosion protection

    ICCP-SAM is designed to remotely install ICCP anodes on monopile foundations of all sizes, anywhere on the foundation and even in the roughest ocean conditions.

  • Comparing and contrasting basic additive processes

    Humans have been using both additive and subtractive processes to make useful objects for tens of thousands of years. We just didn’t have the same terms for those processes as we do today.

  • How to use 3D printing for production tooling

    The phenomena of 3D printing is a great example of how technology progresses. “Printing layers of sticky, melted plastic” hardly sounds like the beginning of a revolution in manufacturing. But we have examples from other industries.

  • Octopus-inspired patch delivers drugs, heals wounds

    To mimic the mechanism used by the blue-ringed octopus, the team designed a patch featuring hydrogel suction cups and microneedles composed of silk fibroin and F127 hydrogel.

  • Imaging the impact of COVID-19 on the brain

    A new form of magnetic resonance imaging provides the clearest picture yet of human brain changes wrought by COVID-19.

  • Video: Onshore wind turbine tailored for the US market

    The high capacity factor turbine is equipped with the appropriate rotor and nameplate to maximize revenues and take advantage of the most common U.S. wind conditions.

  • NORD’s new IEC and NEMA input adapters offer increased technical advantages while enhancing performance and flexibility

    The improved design offers added value with increased configurability and minimal maintenance.

  • New tech developed for ultrasound inspection subsea

    According to its developers, P-Scan 5 is designed to be easier to configure for a wider range of geometries and asset integrity applications, such as regular inspection of submerged pipelines, flowlines, subsea templates, manifolds and offshore wind turbine subsea structures.

  • Seaweed-based electronic skin can track human vital signs

    To potentially pave the way for environmentally friendly wearables that measure vital signs, researchers created graphene capsules composed of a solid seaweed/graphene gel layer surrounding a liquid graphene ink core.

  • Decom debuts its largest chopsaw to date for subsea pipe cutting

    The C1-46 Chopsaw has been designed to cut tubulars and other materials up to 46 inches, and it can cut a wide range of materials, including Inconel alloys, duplex and concrete.

  • The all-new Alfa Laval ThinkTop V20 boosts process productivity

    The ThinkTop V20 provides real-time valve position monitoring, easy access to historical data, and contributes to more reliable and accurate process control while reducing both time and cost during installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance.

  • What is Agile development?

    This process was developed in the spring of 2000 and it seems to have accomplished its core objectives: speed up software development and drive projects within the limitation of time and budget. Like all processes there are tradeoffs.

  • Pressure and steam combo creates shrimp with fewer allergens

    The new approach, according to the researchers, involves reverse-pressure sterilization to manufacture a less-allergenic shrimp product.

  • Verder Liquids introduced the Verderair HC-PURE high performance hygienic pump series

    These pumps are designed to cater to various industries such as beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, dairy and food, and can handle a wide range of low and high viscosity fluids.

  • Video: Robots in the classroom prepare new wave of automation engineers

    An education package featuring a collaborative robot cell and 56 hours of teaching materials will prepare the workforce to thrive in a new era of automation.
