New molten salt battery keeps its cool
Cooler operating temperatures permit use of less expensive materials and insulation in a design that eliminates the risk of thermal runaway.
ASC launches 2020-2023 North American Market Report for Adhesives & Sealants
The report features in-depth interviews and uncovers buying factors, technology trends, unmet needs, growth drivers and insights into competitive joining techniques.
Technique "sniffs" out fraudulent foods
Considered a key indicator of food quality, aroma is reportedly a reliable tool for detecting fraudulent food products. In addition to Iberian ham, researchers suggest that other foods vulnerable to fraud include honey, wine and olive oil.
Machine removes virtually all traces of COVID-19 from surge wards
The University of Cambridge team installed high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter/UV sterilizer machines in hospital rooms where COVID-19 patients were isolated at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.
First fully recycled battery cell produced by Northvolt
In preparation for building Europe’s largest battery recycling plant, the Swedish company produced its first lithium-ion battery cell with metals recovered through battery waste recycling.
Chilled water piping systems: How location impacts moisture risk
Chilled water pipes with incorrectly selected or installed insulation can experience many kinds of damage from moisture, including corrosion, expensive maintenance and repairs, reduced efficiency and increased life-cycle costs.
Hell’s Kitchen to serve up lithium and geothermal power
The project is scheduled to deliver its first 50 MW of baseload renewable power in late 2023 and an estimated 20,000 tons of lithium hydroxide in 2024.
Carbon fiber magnet encapsulation for ultra-high-performance electric motors
The potential use of carbon fiber for low-mass magnet retention provides an exciting opportunity.
Next generation tension control bolt coating by Infasco
This new coating technology has been verified to provide more than 1,000 hours of corrosion resistance in a thin film coating.
Zeus Industrial Products to integrate catheter-based contract manufacturer CathX Medical
The integration with CathX extends Zeus' capabilities serving medical customers to include contract manufacturing services.
Exploring the new age of welding
This emerging software can be used with all types of welding equipment whether it be manual, automated or even robotic welding systems.
Rice University's anti-corrosion coating protects steel
When portions of the sulfur and selenium film were cut in half, they reconnected when exposed to heat and continued to successfully protect the steel.
Coating eliminates all traces of Listeria in food manufacturing plant
Once applied to floors and walls within a sausage manufacturing plant in Israel with surfaces that had previously contained high levels of Listeria, the coating reportedly eliminated all traces of the bacteria.
Team develops 3D printing technique to manufacture biofilms
In the lab, researchers created biofilms of E. coli bacteria to study and determine how to replicate those beneficial qualities of biofilm, while avoiding the negative.
Study: Tap water creates protective shield against microplastics
Tap water features trace elements and minerals that prevent plastic from degrading and the subsequent release of microplastics, which could potentially include trace metals and harmful organic chemicals.
PNNL patents new riveting technique for faster production
This new riveting process will help increase the speed of production lines throughout multiple industries.
Machine turns plastic into oil
Plastic is heated, fed into a pressurized oxygen-free oven heated to 800° F and turned into a liquid. That liquid is then transformed into a gaseous state by the machine and that gas is subsequently trapped and stored for cooling.
Solid-state battery ion conductor logs improvement with wood component
The conductor combines copper with cellulose nanofibrils, which are polymer tubes derived from wood.
