HEADLINES ARCHIVE
Australian seed inspires next-gen helmets, protective gear
Taking inspiration from this design, the team created a bioinspired material that replicates the nut’s internal structure.
Self-healing artificial muscle achieves 91% recovery and restores shape after damage
New dielectric elastomer actuator uses phase-transitional ferrofluid, enabling heat- or magnetic-triggered reshaping of electrodes for adaptive, flexible devices.
A slim solution for electrifying industrial gas heating
This approach reflects the philosophy that thin is in: Deploy carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs) as a new type of electric heating element.
A powerful path for plastic waste upcycling
A novel upcycling process has been developed to convert plastic waste into sustainable liquid fuels.
Photocatalyst prescribed to remove antibiotics from water
Antibiotic pollution in water can be alleviated with a biochar-enhanced photocatalyst.
Arburg becomes a partner of the Thin Wall Packaging Academy (TWPA)
The collaboration will focus on intensive training of specialists, who can then in turn present the positive benefits of thin-wall packaging, enhancing its public image.
Bourbon byproducts beget supercapacitors
Bourbon distillery waste was converted into electrodes for supercapacitors that store more energy per kilogram than commercial devices.
Fuel gas conditioning: A key to reliability for turbines, engines and boilers
Without proper conditioning, fuel gas can carry moisture, particulates and trace liquids into the system. These impurities may seem minor, but they can lead to serious issues, including damaged valves, corroded components, inefficient combustion and unexpected downtime.
Strategic use of ceramics in cast iron machining
In cast iron machining, these engineered ceramic grades represent one of the most robust solutions for high-temperature performance.
It takes an ecosystem
How McElroy’s digital innovations are helping to fuel the booming pipe fusion industry.
How electro-oxidation is redefining PFAS destruction
This innovative technology has the potential to solve issues faced not only by water utilities worldwide, but also by industrial waste facilities seeking a permanent end to PFAS contamination.
How a battery sweats to keep cool
A passive cooling membrane helps lithium-ion batteries "sweat" — and prevents thermal runaway.
Advanced wear-resistant coatings for long lasting connections
This article takes a deeper look at the most capable materials in this evolving array of wear defense finishes, going so far as to detail which equipment type will benefit from each hardened coating solution.
Fabric that cleans itself could make detergent obsolete
The coating was developed by spraying a fabric with two polymers — poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and poly(vinylsulfonic acid) (PVS) — which together created a dense hydration layer that lets dirt and microbes be washed away with just water.
The importance of soil pH measurement in plant health
This article provides an overview of the crucial role soil pH plays in plant health and guidance on managing soil pH to achieve optimal plant growth.
Black soldier fly larvae emerge as safe solution for organic waste disposal
During trials of the new approach, the larvae ate spoiled food, sewage sludge and livestock manure, thus removing most human-pathogenic viruses.
Advancing precision metrology: New frontiers in confocal chromatic sensing
Micro-Epsilon’s latest portfolio expansion addresses these precise industrial demands by introducing new architectures designed for severely limited installation spaces, complex multi-layer materials and extreme environmental conditions.
Arburg at Chinaplas 2026: Everything for the Asian market
The new Allrounder Trend electric machine concept will celebrate its Asian premiere at Chinaplas 2026.
Paving block made entirely from recycled mollusk shells, mining waste
The team replaced traditional mortar and concrete aggregates with a shell-based material made from Acanthocardia tuberculata, an edible saltwater clam commonly canned and sold commercially.
Refrigerant alternatives and industry adoption
The shift away from high global warming potential fluorinated gases in cooling systems requires technical re-evaluation of the balance between thermodynamic efficiency, operational safety and total lifecycle climate impact.
