  • Scientists created bone substitute from 3D-printed glass

    During trials conducted in rabbits, the material sustained bone cell growth outperforming both regular glass and a commercially available bone substitute.

  • Chem-Trend surpasses key 2025 goals and continues commitment to PFAS-free portfolio in new Responsibility Report

    Achievements in environmental stewardship, including meeting ambitious sustainability goals and continued commitment to providing a portfolio free of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are documented.

  • UV light neutralizes airborne allergens in 30 minutes

    Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder suggest that ultraviolet (UV) light can neutralize airborne allergens in just 30 minutes.

  • New biosensor tracks airborne viruses in real-time

    The developers of the biosensor suggest that there is a host of possible applications for the technology such as detecting bacteria in hospitals, schools and on public transportation.

  • Unpacking Europe's hydrogen blending plan

    In the short term, blending hydrogen into existing natural gas systems looks like a pragmatic solution.

  • A better understanding of dust explosions

    While there are some caveats, almost anything can become a dangerous combustible dust.

  • A cement that keeps buildings cool

    This cooling cement reflects light and emits heat due to the inclusion of reflective ettringite crystals.

  • Indium Corporation expert to present on solder paste solutions at SMTA Empire Expo and Tech Forum

    The focus will be on solder paste selection, storage and handling best practices for printed circuit board assembly.

  • Functional inks and AI bring insights to packaging

    According to the team, the combination of inks and artificial intelligence (AI) demonstrates how packaging can accurately detect signal changes without needing electronics.

  • A safe SAF substitute for palm oil

    The technology not only reduces reliance on palm oil but also opens the door to more sustainable supply chains.

  • Freudenberg Sealing Technologies focuses on growth in the service sector

    With the acquisition of the DMH Group, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is expanding its product portfolio and strengthening its service business.

  • 3D-printed meals promise to help people who struggle with swallowing

    Researchers from Kyushu University and Cardiff University have created this new 3D bioprinting method, which uses controlled radio frequency (RF) and microwave (MW) energy to create the easier-to-swallow foods.

  • Kitchen waste treatment removes 98% of fats and oils

    The system, according to its developers, features a redesigned grease interceptor that was paired with a smart chemical treatment.The system, according to its developers, features a redesigned grease interceptor that was paired with a smart chemical treatment.

  • Allrounder More 2000: Multi-component injection molding of 2C dominoes

    Dominoes produced by an Allrounder More 2000 will be packed by a Multilift V 30 linear robotic system as gifts for K 2025 attendees.

  • Woodpecker-inspired drone reduces collision force by 70%

    The SWIFT project is able to accomplish this by borrowing the structural principles from the woodpecker, which is able to repeatedly hammer its beak against trees without injury.

  • Seaweed-infused clay builds lighter, eco-friendly construction material

    The researchers included algae in the production of ceramic clays that are used in construction to reduce the weight of concrete slabs.

  • Lab-grown oils promise deforestation-free cosmetics and food

    This solution is expected to address the environmental and ethical concerns associated with the manufacture of palm, coconut and other botanicals, including deforestation, habitat loss, fertilizer and water use, and labor abuses.

  • Ultrasonic device removes salt from sea sand to boost building applications

    The team has created an ultrasonic desalination device that enables more effective removal of salt from sea sand.

  • New wearable patch performs diagnostics using sweat, not blood

    The smart patch can precisely observe internal changes through sweat when attached to the body where it can simultaneously and in real-time analyze multiple metabolites.

  • "Bone-gun" can generate bone grafts directly onto fractures in animals

    The so-called bone gun has already been trialed in rabbits, quickly creating complex bone implants without having to prefabricate in advance.
