All in! arburgSOLUTIONworld: Everything to deliver customer success
Visitors to the K 2025 trade fair will glean valuable information from ARBURG on topics such as sustainability, digitalization and automation, and discuss issues facing plastics processors.
Toothpaste with human hair protein promises to repair enamel and prevent decay
According to the toothpaste's developers, keratin, a protein found in hair, skin and wool, can reportedly restore enamel and prevent early tooth decay.
From powder to prototype: Laser sintering accelerates medical device innovation
SLS enables the creation of durable prototypes that can withstand mechanical testing and real-world handling, making it particularly useful for surgical tools, orthotic components and patient-specific models.
Stretchable skin patch offers hospital-quality blood pressure monitoring anytime, anywhere
Working much like a bandage, the patch attaches to the skin and measures blood pressure using a different principle than traditional blood pressure cuffs.
Fused deposition modeling brings custom surgical guides to life
Choosing FDM over other manufacturing methods is a calculated decision and viable only when the design, material and workflow can meet the specific dimensional and mechanical requirements of the procedure.
SEW-EURODRIVE offers external lubrication systems for heavy industry gearing
External oil cooling and supply systems for heavy industry gearing are available with lead times as short as six weeks.
How material science improves spill response and enhanced oil recovery
Discover how oleophilic skimming has become an increasingly important, dual-purpose technology for spill resilience and reservoir optimization.
Fujian Fuwei selects commercial-scale equipment from Harper for carbon fiber production
The systems ensure faster oxidation, improved velocity uniformity, assured temperature uniformity and optimal control of the carbonization reaction.
Electric field-powered self-cleaning glass clears dust in seconds
This water-free and sustainable alternative to traditional cleaning methods could potentially be applied to not only terrestrial vehicles and buildings but also to solar panels located on probes used on the surface of Mars.
Material filters the ‘forever’ out of these chemicals
A new material enables the removal and real-time detection of perfluorooctanoic acid, a member of the ‘forever chemicals’ family, from contaminated water.
Floss-delivered vaccine sends flu antibodies into the body
In the lab, the researchers tested the technique by applying vaccine components like proteins and inactivated viruses along the gum lines of mice. The floss-based approach encouraged immunity and protected the mice from a lethal strain of the flu.
Wastewater as a source of green hydrogen
The electrocatalytic method offers scope to reduce the high cost of wastewater treatment while turning it into valuable green hydrogen.
Vanzetti Engineering attends Gastech 2025
The company will exhibit its high- and low-pressure cryogenic pumps for LNG and industrial gases at the Milan, Italy, event.
Wearable patch clings tighter as you sweat, without irritating skin
The new adhesive is based on polyelectrolyte complexes, or PECs — which are the sticky, water-based materials that gently bond to the skin.
Temporary tattoo may reveal spiked drinks by detecting hidden drugs
According to its developers, the sticker reacts within 1 second to low concentrations of the drug hydroxybutyrate (GHB), which is both colorless and tasteless.
GearOil by SEW-EURODRIVE now offered in heavy industry gear units
The high-performance synthetic oil is designed to meet the mechanical, thermal and sealing requirements of SEW-EURODRIVE’s most demanding gear units.
Arburg supports further education in the plastics industry
Students in Mexico will learn how to design solutions with a tangible impact on the plastics industry.
New PIDES system delivers drugs without pain
Using a new microneedle technology dubbed PIDES (pulsating in situ dried electro stretching), the skin patch system relies on electro-stretched microneedles less than 1 mm in length to painlessly deliver medication through the skin.
Microwave-sized sensor surpasses sniffer dogs in detecting fentanyl at US border
The microwave-sized sensor, dubbed VaporID, is being commercialized by California instrument maker BaySpec and was recently debuted at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry meeting in June.
Perilous pollutants persist in US waters
Recent monitoring reveals that toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have contaminated 98% of tested U.S. waters.
