Open days at Arburg in Radevormwald and Rednitzhembach
The common theme at the recent open house events was the presentation of the electric Allrounder Trend.
Crystalline alloys at the cutting edge
Crystalline alloys are pushing the frontiers of metallurgy and shaping high-performance materials with these five trends.
New glue delivers strong bonds on non-stick surfaces without residue
The strong adhesive bonds even to nonstick surfaces like Teflon but can be completely removed with ethanol, leaving no residue — unlike traditional glues that can either be strong or removable, but not both.
The current situation: Electric motor failures
Bad enough for a basic, last generation electric motor, modern equipment is more complicated.
Arburg at Interplast 2026: Allrounder Trend
On display will be an Allrounder 1800 e Trend, which will be producing 48 PP screw caps live.
Smart coating could help tackle radioactive wastewater contamination
The team sought to devise an approach for removing tritium — which is a radioactive form of hydrogen — because it is challenging to remove from wastewater.
UK to advance hydrogen for industrial heating
A real-world, industrial-scale testbed will help manufacturers trial hydrogen fuel-switching in a controlled environment.
Injectable biomaterial promotes complete wound healing
During lab tests, the material encouraged complete wound closure in just 72 hours, thereby paving the way for a new approach for minimally invasive soft tissue repair.
Smart shape-shifting microneedles designed by AI target diabetic wound repair
The AI-guided microneedle patch actively changes shape at normal body temperature (typically, 97° F to 99° F) to encourage wounds to close while also delivering regenerative therapy and antibacterial protection all at once.
Electronic nose technology detects food spoilage, allergens in real time
The new device features 16 microscopic gas sensors, each of which has been created to respond differently to airborne chemical compounds. Altogether, the 16 sensors produce unique response patterns when exposed to different foods.
90-second process upcycles wet coffee grounds into solid fuel
In what may prove an energy-efficient path for converting high-moisture organic waste into valuable fuel and carbon materials, the team devised a way to harness the energy potential of spent coffee grounds.
Climalife and Solstice Advanced Materials collaborate to accelerate the lifecycle management of refrigerants
The partnership focuses on a more integrated and scalable approach to the performance and lifecycle management of next-generation refrigerants across the European market.
India’s automotive market accelerates — Feintool opens first production site in Pune
The new facility will focus on fineblanked automotive components.
Smart wound zipper conforms to irregular skin injuries, boosts healing in rats
Using programmable force, the MSWZ can reportedly be personalized via mobile application, thereby enhancing patient comfort.
A rare opportunity for a magnet revolution
The demand for rare-earth magnets for electric motors in cars, robotics and industrial machinery is high, but supply chain logistics are slacking with bottlenecking, trade issues and transportation delays.
Solar-powered production of water and minerals
A new desalination method produces drinking water from seawater without chemical additives and separates and collects salts instead of dumping them as harmful brine waste.
Polymer cold spray restores up to 80% of strength in damaged composites
The new approach promises to offer a faster, more effective alternative to conventional repair techniques already commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, infrastructure, maritime and energy production.
Buoy beats back algal blooms
Buoys slowly release algaecide into water over weeks or months to prevent toxic algae bloom formation.
The critical role of pH in battery performance
Discover how harnessing the power of pH control unlocks the true potential of batteries, driving innovation and sustainability in every application.
Infrared filter promises more accurate pollution, disease detection
The device operates in the long-wave infrared region — otherwise known as the part of the spectrum linked with thermal radiation emitted by objects that are near room temperature.
