  • New lightweight material coating stronger than steel

    The MIT team envisions that the material could be used as ultra-thin barrier coatings for protecting car parts, cell phones or building material for bridges and other structures.

  • Efficiently harnessing hydrogen via artificial photosynthesis

    Materials with high chemical stability and high catalytic efficiencies are featured in an advanced artificial photosynthesis system.

  • New AI-based fluid probe set for commercialization

    Rheality’s intelligent sensing system reportedly enables manufacturers to monitor fluid activity within pipelines in real-time without halting production.

  • Team to 'pop' bacterial cells on surfaces using material design inspired by insects

    By mimicking this design, the researchers hope to develop a textured material that similarly “pops” bacterial cells, thereby keeping insects clean.

  • Lotus-leaf inspired bioplastic repels dirt, water and is self cleaning

    To develop the self-cleaning bioplastics, researchers mimicked the behavior of the lotus leaf, which demonstrates water-repellant properties thanks to the combination of tiny pillars and wax layer on its surface.

  • Fire-resistant cables are plastic-free

    Without the use of polymers for conductor insulation, mineral-insulated copper cables offer improved fire performance, longevity and environmental benefits.

  • Video: High energy density battery eschews nickel, cobalt

    The lithium-ion battery cell technology is nickel- and cobalt-free, removing supply chain disruption and material cost concerns.

  • Rivets are riveting

    What are rivets, and why have they been used for thousands of years?

  • Laser driver tech braces economical fusion power

    The laser could facilitate development of modest size, less expensive fusion power plant modules operating at laser energies less than 1 mega joule.

  • Team building 3D-printed soft robots with gelatin-sugar ink

    The scientists turned to a biodegradable mix of sugar and gelatin to develop the ink to use in the manufacture of 3D-printed soft robots.

  • Design boosts perovskite/organic tandem solar cell efficiency

    With a redesigned interconnecting layer, the tandem cells achieve a power conversion efficiency of 23.6%, approaching that of conventional silicon solar cells.

  • Video: Multi-cable bushing system with large clamping range solves high-density requirements

    Up to 30 entry points are available to accept cables, wires, conduits and pneumatics and media conduits.

  • Robust 36 mm encoder from Wachendorff

    The encoders are suited for high pressure/steam jet cleaning and are specially designed for applications in harsh environments.

  • Video: Spectro Scientific launches Fluid Management Academy to deliver online training content for its fluid analysis products

    Learn features and troubleshooting techniques covering Spectro Scientific and Grabner Instruments fluid analyzers and software.

  • The future of hygienic food automation

    KUKU Robotics showed off its extensive product range of automation solutions targeted to that market at the International Production & Processing Expo in Atlanta, Georgia.

  • Video: Renewable energy storage on the seafloor

    The modular Ocean Battery pumped hydro system is engineered to be located on the seabed near offshore wind turbines or floating solar power plants to store the excess energy produced.

  • New material is resistant to blasts, fire in buildings

    The recently developed composite, called functionally graded material (FGM), is an engineered composite material that could prove to be an effective bomb-resistant material in structural use cases.

  • Video: Repurposing offshore oil and gas rigs

    With so many different steps involved, costs to consider and the increasing number of oil and gas platforms reaching their end-of-life, creative solutions for reusing existing offshore oil and gas structures have been emerging.

  • Video: Building resilience to changing water cycles

    Hydrological data collected worldwide will inform action and strategies to reduce economic losses and deaths due to droughts and floods.

  • Lubrizol launches ESTANE ZHF TPU grade for non-halogenated flame-retardant cables

    The halogen-free flame retardant grade combines excellent performance and a regulatory-compliant solution for wire and cable applications.
