  • New bio-based hot glue from industrial waste outsticks commercial adhesives

    The adhesive is made from xylan, which is a complex sugar found in plant cell walls. The adhesive’s developers suggest that it can be applied in a molten state and reused more than 10 times without losing its original strength.

  • Nanoneedle patch provides painless, noninvasive alternative to traditional cancer biopsies

    According to its developers, the patch offers a painless and less invasive solution for patients undergoing biopsies to detect and monitor diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.

  • Shark skin-inspired tech creates bacteria-resistant food surfaces

    By adding texture to such surfaces, the researchers sought to mimic the antimicrobial properties of shark skin with the aim of dramatically reducing bacterial contamination without the need for chemical treatments.

  • Milk protein and plant cellulose combination creates edible, biodegradable nanofibers

    Beyond food packaging, this material can also reportedly enhance food textures and nutritional values, and be incorporated into the making of glues, paints, paper coatings, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

  • This compact and rugged binary gas analyzer is a non-negotiable tool for monitoring process gases

    The analyzer is now available for measuring binary gas mixtures in concentrations from 0.1% to 100%.

  • Sugar-based technology offers fast and cheap way to detect snake bites

    Because the time following a snake bite is critical, identifying the snake venom making its way through a person’s system is vital to saving lives and offering the best course of treatment.

  • The Pate Company launches the Pate Sound Shield, the first in a new line of sound reduction and vibration isolation products

    This solution offers an acoustic treatment for noise transfer reduction through roof-mounted equipment curbs.

  • Clear coating blocks algae growth on underwater solar panels

    The transparent coating enables the sun's energy to pass through while also preventing algae and other fouling materials from forming on solar cells.

  • Near-future PFAS regulations will affect thousands of US utilities

    Treatment solutions and regulatory measures are being advanced to alleviate drinking water contamination by these forever chemicals.

  • Gannon & Scott showcases advanced precious metal recovery solutions for RF and semiconductor industries at IMS 2025

    The company will highlight its capabilities in precious metal recovery from high-purity processing materials.
