Ductless Fume Hoods: A Versatile Solution for Laboratory Processing
Whether designing a new laboratory or updating an existing one, laboratory managers need to consider safety, efficiency and cost-effectiveness when deciding on a fume hood design.
Transistor Technology Could Make the Impossible, Possible
Researchers are looking to the transistor laser to achieve much faster computer processing speeds.
High Performance Tangential Fans Penetrate New Markets and Applications
Tangential fans, also referred to as cross-flow fans (CFF), or cross-flow blowers, offer a uniform laminar flow pattern without the use of baffles or vanes.
New Planar Gantries from Festo
Festo, a global manufacturer of process control and factory automation solutions, has introduced the EXCM-30 and EXCM-40 to its family of planar gantries.
A/C Coolers Designed for Purged Electrical and Electronic Enclosures
Vortec’s ProtEX Vortex A/C enclosure coolers protect electrical and electronic components in ATEX Zones 1 and 21 and Temperature Class T3 areas. They are an economical alternative to expensive, high maintenance air conditioners and provide a clean stable environment when coupled with purge systems.
Barium and Tin Yield Superior Thin-film Material
A nano-scale thin film material exhibits both the highest conductivity in its class and a wide bandgap, which makes it optically transparent.
UniPro/UFS Protocol Analyzer and Exerciser Provides Quality Testing and Verification
The system helps test engineers working with high data rates or aggressive power management systems.
Itron Buys Comverge to Expand Its Utility Services
The acquisition combines a world-leader in gas, water, electricity, and smart cities solutions with a longtime leader of demand response, expanding the scope of smart grid offerings for the industry.
Creating Touchscreens with a Can of Spray Paint
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are turning unconventional surfaces into touchpads using simple tools like spray paint cans.
Bulk Cable Built to Withstand Harsh Environments
The cables can also be used for outdoor Ethernet applications.
World's Largest X-ray Laser Generates First Laser Light
European XFEL has generated x-ray light at a wavelength of 0.8 nanometers, 500 times shorter than that of visible light
Red Light, Green Light at Work
We’ve all been there: working feverishly in the ‘zone’ when John Smith from two cubicles away interrupts your rhythm with a question about your weekend. Also familiar: attempting to get back into that zone once John Smith has wandered away.
High Temperatures Can Create Graphene from Ethene
Scientists from all over the world have teamed up to create a new way to produce single layer graphene from simple ethane, otherwise known as ethylene—the smallest alkene molecule.
What are Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons?
Graphene has become a focus for many researchers due to the supermaterials superlative electrical, physical and chemical properties. Graphene armchair nanoribbons are a promising variant for semiconductor applications.
As Temperatures Increase, So Does Air Pollution—Thanks to Air Conditioning
Although it seems logical that increased air conditioning usage would mean higher levels of air pollution, that has not been the focus of most air pollution studies.
Investor Alert: Look to Cobalt
Cobalt is a metal in short supply, and Canadian financier Wayne Tisdale is set to capitalize on that trend.
Video: Plastic 3-D Printed Cube Can Manipulate Virtual 3-D Objects with Less Lag
Manipulating virtual objects in a computer program in three dimensions just got much easier.
