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.
Sustainably sourcing synfuels offshore
A floating test platform that uses sea water, air and wind to produce clean hydrogen has begun operations off Germany's North Sea coast.
Indium Corporation welcomes 15 college students to award-winning summer internship program
Since its inception in 2012, the internship program has been a launch pad for talented college students in materials science and related fields.
Precious metal clad wire formulated for aerospace requirements
These composite clad products are metallurgically bonded; making them much more reliable than plated products that can flake and peel.
Squid skin-inspired stretchable camouflage could render soldiers invisible to thermal drones
The composite can alter its appearance across visible and infrared bands, making it potentially appropriate for adaptive camouflage, multispectral displays, smart textiles and thermal-management skins.
Scientists mimic mantis shrimp armor to create ultra-tough material
The scientists suggest that such structures could be used for other possible applications including improved bullet-resistant glass, blast-resistant building materials and more protective helmets.
New rice-paper robots safely decompose in only 32 days
An ingredient used in Vietnamese spring rolls is biodegradable, non-toxic and appropriate for soft robotic prototyping, outreach and single-use applications.
Scientists unveil breakthrough alternative poised to rival Ziploc bags
The material developed by National Taiwan University researchers is composed of bacterial cellulose, chitosan and waterborne polyurethane.
Turbocharging decarbonization: How Baker Hughes’ supercritical CO2 turboexpanders power NET Power’s zero-emission vision
The technology meets growing demand for low-cost clean energy and provides carbon dioxide (CO2) for the oil and gas industries and for sequestration.
Microbes minimize hydrogen costs at depleted oil fields
A blend of microbes and nutrients injected into nearly depleted oil reservoirs serves to break down the remaining oil and generate hydrogen.
From carbon to candy: Chinese tech turns CO2 into sugar using methanol conversion
The new so-called biotransformation system does not rely on sugar cane or sugar beet cultivation — both of which require large amounts of land and water.
Not a stretch: How Apple Rubber’s O-rings and MicrOrings deliver excellence
Based in Lancaster, New York, Apple Rubber takes pride in manufacturing American-made products for its home country and helping to protect service personnel around the world.
