UK to advance hydrogen for industrial heating
A real-world, industrial-scale testbed will help manufacturers trial hydrogen fuel-switching in a controlled environment.
Injectable biomaterial promotes complete wound healing
During lab tests, the material encouraged complete wound closure in just 72 hours, thereby paving the way for a new approach for minimally invasive soft tissue repair.
Smart shape-shifting microneedles designed by AI target diabetic wound repair
The AI-guided microneedle patch actively changes shape at normal body temperature (typically, 97° F to 99° F) to encourage wounds to close while also delivering regenerative therapy and antibacterial protection all at once.
Electronic nose technology detects food spoilage, allergens in real time
The new device features 16 microscopic gas sensors, each of which has been created to respond differently to airborne chemical compounds. Altogether, the 16 sensors produce unique response patterns when exposed to different foods.
90-second process upcycles wet coffee grounds into solid fuel
In what may prove an energy-efficient path for converting high-moisture organic waste into valuable fuel and carbon materials, the team devised a way to harness the energy potential of spent coffee grounds.
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.
India’s automotive market accelerates — Feintool opens first production site in Pune
The new facility will focus on fineblanked automotive components.
Smart wound zipper conforms to irregular skin injuries, boosts healing in rats
Using programmable force, the MSWZ can reportedly be personalized via mobile application, thereby enhancing patient comfort.
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.
Solar-powered production of water and minerals
A new desalination method produces drinking water from seawater without chemical additives and separates and collects salts instead of dumping them as harmful brine waste.
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.
Buoy beats back algal blooms
Buoys slowly release algaecide into water over weeks or months to prevent toxic algae bloom formation.
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.
Infrared filter promises more accurate pollution, disease detection
The device operates in the long-wave infrared region — otherwise known as the part of the spectrum linked with thermal radiation emitted by objects that are near room temperature.
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.
How phase change materials enhance thermal management
Thermal management is crucial in systems because high operating temperatures are the leading cause of electronic component failures.
Three-layer armor defends vehicles against mines, rockets, drones
The systems from Plasan — dubbed LAPS, ATHENA and TAPS — each concentrates on a specific weakness that traditional armor struggles to address without the addition of extra weight.
New heat-compressed silk material beats wood in strength, challenges Kevlar, carbon fiber
The team reported that the resulting material performed comparable to advanced composites in terms of strength and toughness, while also remaining biocompatible and tunable for medical applications.
Hydrogen electrolysis finds some unlikely water sources
Despite its overwhelming positivity, green hydrogen production is costly. Renewable resources are still not widespread in adoption.
