Two-point versus three-point calibration: Choosing the best method for accurate pH measurement
While two-point calibration offers a quicker and simpler solution for routine checks, three-point calibration provides a more comprehensive adjustment that can account for electrode non-linearity and drift over a wider pH range.
Recyclable glue delivers fast, durable underwater bonds
The team created their so-called superglue by blending a supramolecular ionic liquid — which is a salt-like material whose molecules are held together by temporary, reversible interactions — with a solvent called dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
Self-healing coatings could extend gas turbine life and reliability
To develop the coating, the team first looked at how oxides like rust form on engine parts.
Catalyst cuts green hydrogen production cost
The use of an upgraded titanium dioxide catalyst optimizes the adsorption and activation energy of water, offering a low-cost path to increased hydrogen evolution.
Waste plastic as a hydrogen source
Instead of becoming a persistent environment pollutant or requiring complex, energy-intensive processes for recycling, plastic waste can represent a source of hydrogen production.
Ammonia from wastewater: How we’re turning a pollutant into fertilizer and clean fuel
Research demonstrates how new catalysts and renewable electricity can convert nitrate, one of the most common water pollutants, directly into ammonia.
How 3D printing reshapes battery design
Custom-shaped, high-performance battery materials can be printed under ordinary conditions to eliminate design constraints.
This mini, edge AI device identifies deadly mosquitos out in the bush
Existing mosquito surveillance requires collecting water samples from breeding sites and analyzing larvae in the lab to identify the species.
New spray-on coating boosts air filter particle capture, extends filter life
During trials, it boosted filtration efficiency by 10% to 30% and nearly doubled filter lifespan by delaying clogging.
Industrial drives are moving toward wide-bandgap materials, too
Thirty years is a long run for any technology in industrial equipment. Why is the industry moving away from long-established silicon? The answer lies in material physics.
Filtering PFAS with “molecular Velcro”
A new gel-based material filters PFAS “forever chemicals” from water more efficiently than many widely used commercial options.
How to select a threaded insert for your 3D-printed assembly
This white paper provides recommendations, design guidelines and performance expectations for various threaded inserts used in fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS) and stereolithography (SLA) 3D-printing processes.
Evaluating insulation materials for LNG piping and equipment
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities operate in one of the most demanding thermal environments found in industrial processing.
Open days at Arburg in Radevormwald and Rednitzhembach
The common theme at the recent open house events was the presentation of the electric Allrounder Trend.
Crystalline alloys at the cutting edge
Crystalline alloys are pushing the frontiers of metallurgy and shaping high-performance materials with these five trends.
New glue delivers strong bonds on non-stick surfaces without residue
The strong adhesive bonds even to nonstick surfaces like Teflon but can be completely removed with ethanol, leaving no residue — unlike traditional glues that can either be strong or removable, but not both.
The current situation: Electric motor failures
Bad enough for a basic, last generation electric motor, modern equipment is more complicated.
Arburg at Interplast 2026: Allrounder Trend
On display will be an Allrounder 1800 e Trend, which will be producing 48 PP screw caps live.
Smart coating could help tackle radioactive wastewater contamination
The team sought to devise an approach for removing tritium — which is a radioactive form of hydrogen — because it is challenging to remove from wastewater.
Understanding pH slope
The pH slope is like the heartbeat of your sensor — a fundamental indicator of electrode health and measurement reliability during calibration.
