HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • 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.

  • Climalife and Solstice Advanced Materials collaborate to accelerate the lifecycle management of refrigerants

    The partnership focuses on a more integrated and scalable approach to the performance and lifecycle management of next-generation refrigerants across the European market.

  • A rare opportunity for a magnet revolution

    The demand for rare-earth magnets for electric motors in cars, robotics and industrial machinery is high, but supply chain logistics are slacking with bottlenecking, trade issues and transportation delays.

  • CITRUS CUTTER: A cleaner shop without compromise

    The heavy-duty floor cleaner and degreaser is designed specifically for environments where standard cleaners fall short.

  • Polymer cold spray restores up to 80% of strength in damaged composites

    The new approach promises to offer a faster, more effective alternative to conventional repair techniques already commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, infrastructure, maritime and energy production.

  • The critical role of pH in battery performance

    Discover how harnessing the power of pH control unlocks the true potential of batteries, driving innovation and sustainability in every application.

  • How thermal energy storage is enriched by molten salts

    The use of molten salts is an established method of converting solar energy into a continuous power supply.

  • Vertiv launches water-saving upgrades for data center fluid system commissioning

    Vertiv PurgeRite NearZero helps reduce water consumption, wastewater generation and hauling needs during data center commissioning by combining engineered flushing, water treatment and closed-loop recycling.

  • OKW’s new pole/mast bracket for enclosures in harsh industrial/outdoor locations

    The tough new bracket is engineered for horizontal/vertical mounting of sealed electronic enclosures on poles/masts.
