Safety: Fire and explosion protection
When combined with proper operator training, hazardous gas detection is a cost-effective way to manage risk and help ensure industrial safety.
Fine particle study of micro-cavitational effect in high-energy rotor/stator homogenizer
Oil in water dispersions produced using a multiple rotor/stator in-line homogenizer mixer were characterized using Sauter mean droplet diameter and Weber number.
Expand sheet metal capabilities with support for thicker materials and enhanced hole options from meviy
Engineers and designers can now take advantage of increased inch-based thicknesses and a broader range of supported hole sizes.
Built to endure: How Hernon adhesives and sealants power marine and boat manufacturing
These solutions help keep boats together — and performing — under the toughest conditions.
Hydrogel harvests waterborne phosphorus for reuse
The highly selective hydrogel offers a relatively low-cost means of reducing phosphorus pollution that can also release the nutrient for future agricultural and industrial applications.
Biodegradable breakthrough: Greener materials transform single-use medical devices
A range of materials, including PLA, PCL, PHAs and starch-based polymers, have shown utility in applications such as sutures, drug delivery systems and wound care.
Engineers turn water treatment sludge into sustainable concrete
To prevent the cracking and corroding common among traditional cement sewer pipes, the team combined sludge, which is a byproduct of the drinking water purification process, and blast-furnace slag.
Heart of titanium: Self-expanding metal frame transforms vascular care
Self-expanding frames are constructed from shape-memory alloys. These materials enable the device to expand upon release from a constrained state, facilitating smoother deployment and improved anatomical adaptability.
CIRCOR debuts ZENITH 2K Precision Gear Pump Systems for accurate metering
Designed for the foam, adhesives and sealants industries, the Zenith 2K systems are intended to meet the demands of multi-component applications, delivering accuracy in metering and mixing processes.
China develops world's first nuclear warhead detector to identify decoys
To test and train the AI system, researchers first required access to highly sensitive nuclear data, including details about real warheads.
Finding the hydrogen vault in Earth’s crust
Essential factors are identified for developing an exploration strategy aimed at locating subterranean hydrogen systems.
This sensor spots alcohol with just a snap of your phone
This device, which the users suggest could be appropriate for other use cases such as environmental monitoring, health care, industrial processes, and alcohol breath analysis, promises to pave the way for accurate detection of ethanol concentration.
Simplifying precision: The new G25 controller from Gammaflux
The G25 features a Linux-based operating system, a modular hardware and software architecture and a dramatically simplified user interface.
Innovative coating protects iron from rust with 99.6% effectiveness
This new coating promises to significantly cut maintenance costs and extend the lifespan of iron-based materials that are used in construction, transportation and manufacturing.
Sames North America launches Nanobell 8 series: Automotive-grade finishing for all industries
A new generation of rotary bell atomizers is designed to bring automotive-grade coating performance to a broad range of industrial markets.
The most powerful ground-based telescope ever built
An industrial-scale coating solution was tailored to maintain peak optical performance of the Extremely Large Telescope in the harsh desert climate.
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.
