Putting the heat on battery recycling
The process consumes about half as much energy, 95% fewer chemicals and incurs significantly lower costs compared to existing methods.
Next generation surface treatment with atmospheric pressure plasma
Discover how Plasmatreat's Openair-Plasma technology provides surface treatment solutions that meet the strict demands of modern manufacturing.
The dirty truth about clean manufacturing: Fluid power maintenance
Waste is minimized not by replacing entire assemblies, but by renewing high-wear internal elements.
New Chip Vac filter bag offers enhanced filtration and improved durability
This purpose-built filter material was specifically engineered for filtration applications and rated to filter particles as small as 30 microns.
What powers ExxonMobil’s new base-stock technology in Singapore?
The technology confirms that resid-to-lubes is a commercially viable flow scheme when paired with on-site residue-to-hydrogen and a feed-flexible integrated complex.
Seaweed-based casings may replace plastic in home test kits
The team is hoping to create seaweed-based housings to replace traditional petroleum plastics without changing the way such diagnostic lateral flow tests work.
New material helps teeth regrow and fortify enamel
The gel, which is fluoride free, works by replicating the features of the natural proteins that encourage the growth of dental enamel in infancy.
Virus-infused patches eliminate bacteria in tainted food
The team developed the patches to help prevent foodborne illnesses from common but dangerous bacteria — such as E. coli and Salmonella — that thrive in undercooked or improperly handled food.
How nuclear waste can fuel hydrogen production
While it may seem counterintuitive to value nuclear waste as a source of renewable fuel, this environmental liability may offer a promising resource for hydrogen production.
Smart fabric lets soldiers feel subtle signals through air and pressure
The startup, dubbed Actile Technologies, has created a textile platform that transmits information via touch instead of sight or sound.
Bio-based film achieves plastic-level resistance to moisture, oxygen
Unlike similar bio-based materials developed as a replacement for plastic packaging, this new film can reportedly block moisture and oxygen as effectively as conventional plastics.
Leftovers to feed aircraft: Fuel for flight
Discarded food from processing plants need not be fodder for landfills. The scraps can be converted into sustainable aviation fuel.
Engineered titanium composite offers reinforced-concrete performance minus the bulk
The team built the material using assorted metallic alloys bound by nanoscale precipitates, thus mimicking the structure of reinforced concrete.
Edible fungus offers eco-friendly way to waterproof paper and fabric
When combined with fibers made from wood, the fungus created a layer that blocks water, oil and grease absorption.
Durable, gas-tight polymer film set to strengthen coatings in solar cells, infrastructure
The researchers developed an ultrathin polymer film that completely blocks nitrogen and other gases, showing potential as a protective coating for solar cells, infrastructure, and food or medicine packaging.
ROLEC announces its latest diecast enclosures for defense electronics
These IP-rated diecast enclosures are suitable for electronics in tracked and wheeled vehicles, warships and fleet auxiliaries, training/simulation technology, military cranes and railways used for troop transport, logistics and supply.
Injectable hydrogels offer a new way to track biological activity within the body
The team at Washington University is working to develop granular hydrogels comprised of microparticles that could potentially be injected, spread over tissues or used to encapsulate cells to monitor or stimulate biological activity.
Assigning tamper-proof identities to everyday items with new hydrogel
To create a solution to this issue of counterfeiting objects and devices, the team turned the hidden structure of a soft, conductive hydrogel into a measurable signal that cannot be duplicated.
Material boosts battery and potable water output
The discovery offers a twofold benefit: improved sodium-ion battery performance and increased potable water supply.
