  • Watch: Laser system can make metal surfaces water, grease repellent

    Treated metal surfaces repel grease, bacteria.

  • Norton IDeal-Prime grinding wheels optimize ID grinding performance

    Cylindrical parts, such as bearings, races and bushings require grinding of the inside diameter to obtain a precise surface finish.

  • Team can 3D print bone tissue using ceramic-based ink, live cells

    Bone can be 3D printed directly onto bone using this technique.

  • Explore powder metallurgy and the PM industry

    Powder metallurgy (PM) is a value-added engineering process that provides a host of advantages over competing metal-forming technologies. PM's unique shape capabilities provide users with innovative solutions.

  • MOF-based aerogel mops up atmospheric water

    A polymer-metal-organic framework material extracts water from air without any external power source.

  • Lab grown wood could be the future of sustainable furniture

    The materials are grown in a similar way to lab cultivated meat.

  • Material solutions to seal out the elements in automotive lighting applications

    The materials typically specified for lamp sealing, such as EPDM foam, offer up-front expense savings. On the surface, of course, this is advantageous. A deeper look, however, reveals a more complicated picture.

  • QuesTek awarded ARPA-E funding for ultra-high temperature materials development for energy applications

    The funding will be used to design and develop a novel materials solution for next-generation turbine blade alloys and compatible coating systems.

  • Fujipoly achieves IATF 16949:2016 certification

    This certification is the highest international quality standard for the automotive industry.

  • Copper based electrode could produce fuel

    University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers developed an efficient polymer-enhanced electrochemical reaction to improve carbon dioxide to ethylene conversion.

  • High-performance tapes create efficiencies in appliance manufacturing

    The intense consumer demand for modern, new home appliances — also known as white goods — shows no sign of slowing down. There are several reasons for this trend.

  • MacDermid Alpha launches ALPHA HiTech high Tg, low CTE underfill and cornerfill bonding materials

    The materials offer high transition glass temperature (Tg), low coefficient thermal expansion (CTE) and excellent thermal cycling (TCT) performance.

  • Selecting the right low field shielding alloy material

    When the electromagnetic interference (EMI) includes low frequency fields (30 to 300 Hz), magnetic shielding is essential to assure proper operation of the electronic equipment without failure.

  • New method gets researchers one step closer to producing cheap biofuel

    Researchers from Ohio State University devised a cheaper and more efficient way to create a chemical reaction to yield fuel from plants.

  • Explore an introduction to metal injection molding

    Metal injection molding technology is used to create precise and reliable components across market segments.

  • Graphene material powers efficient supercapacitors

    A powerful, sustainable graphene hybrid material has comparable performance data to currently utilized batteries.

  • Polymers pinpoint drug precursors in wastewater

    An automated sensor system incorporating highly selective molecularly imprinted polymers was engineered to detect the presence of banned and illicit drugs in wastewater.

  • New optical system may enhance AI analysis of wood pulp quality

    The quality of wood pulp nanofibrillation is measured using its natural optical birefringence, which may lead increased utilization of wooden cellulose nanofibers.

  • PET repurposed to remove waterborne insecticides

    Plastic waste is the foundation for growth of metal-organic frameworks which are applied to the removal of insecticide residues from water.

  • Magnetic material magnifies motor efficiency

    Its use in all motors operating worldwide today could result in the elimination of ten 1 GW power plants.
