Molex company, has introduced the DaVinci Gen V. Built upon a patented mechanical foundation, this fifth-generation coaxial test socket provides an out-of-the-box solution engineered to overcome impedance tuning and signal degradation hurdles.
E-book: Chemical processes
Specifying the right analyzer for online process measurements requires a thorough understanding of the sample conditions, all components present and the primary purpose or intent of the measurement.
EPA amends PFAS destruction and disposal guidance
Technologies with the lowest potential for releasing PFAS to the environment based on site-specific conditions are recommended.
Improving coating performance and efficiency in agricultural equipment manufacturing — A case study: UNIA Group
UNIA Group, a leading European OEM with over 140 years of manufacturing experience, modernized its coating operations by implementing advanced powder and liquid finishing technologies.
Inspired by armadillos: New soft robotic shell becomes rock-solid on demand
According to its developers, the structure automatically responds when it detects strain and it can be tuned to respond to anything that ranges from a delicate touch to a significant impact.
DIAvent maxFlow for high-performance batteries
Maximum flow rate, adjustable trigger pressure and autonomous resealing combine in a single degassing valve.
Spider silk-inspired method transforms corn protein into ultra-tough plastic alternative
The scientists turned to a corn protein called zein, which is abundant, renewable and naturally hydrophobic. Because the material is also relatively brittle, the team took inspiration from the way spiders spin their silk to improve the zein’s mechanical strength.
Freshwater mussel protein could inspire stronger medical-grade glues
The protein, called Dbfp7, is derived from the quagga mussel and, despite lacking a specific chemical feature that enables it to stick to surfaces underwater, it still proved capable of this type of adhesion.
Perfect hold — even at over 100 bar
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies presents an elastomer-based sealing solution for carbon dioxide air-conditioning compressors.
Hydrogen and chemicals derived from biowaste
A new electrochemical system enables the simultaneous production of hydrogen and value-added chemicals using waste glycerol.
