Team develops composite metal foam to enhance safety in hazardous material transport
The team created a computational model capable of determining what thickness of CMF is required to offer the desired level of protection necessary for any given application.
Liquid metal framework heals bones while fighting infection
Future applications for the material could range from antimicrobial bone fillers and spinal fusion materials to 3D-printed scaffolds for cancer-related bone loss, diabetic foot and other high-risk infections, according to the Flinders' team.
New wearable patch enables battery-free, non-invasive skin cancer detection
The team determined that the patch clearly distinguished between healthy skin and potentially concerning spots, detecting unique electrical signals encountered with suspicious moles or lesions regardless of skin tone.
'Leaf' it to science: Faux foliage pummels pollution
The innovative device combines organic semiconductors with enzymes obtained from sulfate-reducing bacteria to break water down into hydrogen and oxygen or turn carbon dioxide into formate.
3D-printing approach could produce permanent dental crowns in just hours
The team suggests that the technique promises to transform crowns, bridges, veneers and other restorations by making them faster, more personalized and more convenient.
Process engineering: New extrusion process for seal profiles
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is commissioning an extrusion line for sealing profiles vulcanized with molten salt, expanding its portfolio of vulcanized materials and geometries for demanding technical applications.
Toxins at the tap: A threat to public health
A trio of dangerous contaminants is widespread in U.S. potable water supplies, posing health threats to thousands of communities.
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.

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.
