Safety and monitoring: Non-negotiable priorities in green hydrogen production
Requirements that are essential for effective hydrogen production operations include the implementation of comprehensive safety protocols, utilization of effective sampling and monitoring systems, and the selection of suitable materials.
Hydraulic versus pneumatic components for industrial applications
By necessity, hydraulics components handle higher pressures, often in the range of thousands of PSI (pounds per square inch), whereas pneumatic system actuators aren’t as robust, and this statement can be backed by science.
Scanning electron microscopes for quality control
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a valuable tool for understanding what is happening to a material or biological sample at the sub-microscopic level.
Sealing technologies for high-pressure and high-temperature applications
Let’s examine the various factors to consider when selecting sealing technology for applications that require robust temperature and pressure management, along with an overview of four sealing technologies utilized in these scenarios.
China develops chameleon-like 'invisibility' gear for military operations
The new material, called Self-Adaptive Photochromism (SAP), can reportedly change color in response to its surroundings — much like a chameleon — making the wearer “effectively invisible” when applied to clothing.
A buoyant solar solution for water scarcity issues
The low-cost, solar-powered and portable water desalination device could help combat water scarcity in developing or remote areas.
DNA-based nanorobot hand captures viruses for diagnostics
The aptly name NanoGripper is designed to expedite the detection of the virus as well as block viral particles from entering cells to infect them.
Velvet worm-inspired robot uses sticky magnetic grip to unscrew nuts with ease
Taking inspiration from the velvet worm, the magnetically adhesive, untethered robot ejects sticky secretions, which makes it possible to grasp a wide range of objects.
Ascend Elements to expand lithium recovery at battery recycling facility
The company will begin producing greater than 99% pure, sustainable lithium carbonate recovered from used lithium-ion batteries at its facility in Covington, Georgia, in 2025.
Fish-inspired sensor lets devices 'feel' through electric fields
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish',” explained the scientists.
Low viscosity, optically clear epoxy passes medical device safety standard
The two component non-cytotoxic epoxy is ideal for imaging applications or other medical devices where optical clarity is needed.
New surface design prevents frost formation
Altering the texture of practically any surface and adding a thin layer of graphene oxide will prevent 100% of frost from forming on surfaces for one week and possibly longer.
Dürr revolutionizes vehicle painting with VOC-reducing technology
This innovation virtually eliminates volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in the paint booth during flushing and color changes.
New self-healing fabric paves the way for smarter robotics and wearables
The fiber, dubbed SHINE, is a flexible, durable and highly visible material that could potentially be used in the robotics, fashion and wearable technology fields.
Henkel and Celanese collaborate to offer adhesives made from captured CO2 emissions
Water-based adhesives will be produced from captured emissions, creating new opportunities to drive sustainability across a range of applications.
Automated dosing and real-time monitoring: DULCODOS Pool Basic outshines competing systems
The automatic dosing feature enhances convenience by automatically adding the necessary chemicals based on the measured values.
New in the US: Electric Allrounder processes solid silicone rubber
Reliable processing of solid silicone rubber on electric Allrounder 470 A from Arburg will be demonstrated at Plastec West.
Efficient lithium extraction from geothermal sources
A separation solution devised at Rice University reduces the challenges encountered in lithium harvesting operations.
Medical grade UV adhesive bonds TPUs
See how thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are bonded with this medical grade UV adhesive.
Boost product performance with precision cut tubing
This process ensures that each piece of tubing has clean, smooth edges and uniform dimensions, which are crucial for maintaining tight tolerances and optimal performance in various applications.
