Deep-sea coating offers dual antifouling and anticorrosion defense in harsh environments
The team from CAS has developed a single coating that marries synergistic antifouling and anticorrosion protection by employing precise molecular design and nanoscale interfacial engineering.
Nanotech turns phones into food scanners
The team has developed a nanoprobe that changes color to indicate the amount of vitamin C present in fresh produce and juice.
Fish blood could stop food and medicine from freezing
The mimic molecules promise to enable a wide variety of applications, from extending the shelf life of frozen foods to improving the storage and transport of life-saving biologics.
Waste coffee and plastics find new life capturing industrial pollutants
To develop the new activated carbon, the team combined PET plastic and SCG with potassium hydroxide (KOH), which together proved effective at capturing CO2?.
New high-tech helmets promise to sharpen US soldiers’ battlefield awareness
The helmet, dubbed EagleEye, is described by its makers as “a new kind of teammate” for soldiers that combines mission planning, perception and survivability.
Liquatite Type LA delivers superior UV protection
The jacketed metallic steel conduit offers superior protection in outdoor, sun-exposed environments.
New material engineered to endure extreme heat
The fabrics created by Safmax were presented at the Public Security Tech Expo in Lianyungang, China.
Threading technologies: The evolution of internal and external threads
A massive degree of print accuracy is required.
Scientists create matrix that functions like a fingerprint scanner to spot hidden objects
According to the researchers, the approach uses what they call a “fingerprint matrix,” which is a mathematical description of the way each object uniquely scatters waves such as light or ultrasound.
Cardboard waste gets new life as robust construction material
The sustainable construction material, dubbed cardboard-confined rammed earth, has roughly one-quarter of concrete’s carbon footprint and is expected to help reduce landfill waste.
Scientists create plant-based plastics for everyday packaging
With the promise of offering compostable alternatives to commonly used plastics for food and agricultural films, the new biodegradable plastic was created by converting food waste sugars into polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) biopolymers.
Beer reimagined as fats and medicines
The NTNU team has now devised a way to use spent grain for other applications, such as an alternative to animal protein.
Mechanical seal enhances ethane pipeline performance
The seal leverages spiral groove non-contacting technology to deliver exceptional reliability, operational efficiency and environmental compliance.
meviy enhances heat treatment capabilities with faster lead times and higher precision
The enhanced treatment enables engineers and manufacturers to achieve high-performance parts more efficiently, particularly in applications that demand exceptional wear resistance and hardness.
3D-printed tissue featuring fluid channels mimics real organs for surgical training
Researchers have developed a new 3D-printing method for creating realistic human tissue structures that could one day be used in the making of human models to train surgeons and doctors.
Engineering the hydrogen pipeline pathway
The potential to use existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure to safely transport hydrogen is being evaluated by U.K. gas operator SGN.
Smart glasses monitor health through blinking
The team believes that the device could potentially pave the way for assessing fatigue, mental workload and eye-related health issues in real-world settings, such as long-haul trucking or in the office.
Artificial muscle switches from soft to rigid to support 4,000 times its own weight
This transition — much like rubber transforming into steel — occurs when the artificial muscle contracts and becomes capable of lifting many times its own weight.
Closing the EV battery circular economy
Cathode materials from end-of-life electric vehicle (EV) batteries are recovered and recycled with this new process.
Guide to troubleshooting in pH labs: Common issues and solutions
Troubleshooting in a lab environment requires a structured approach focusing on these key factors.
