Hardox 500 unearths its wear savings for stationary equipment in quarries and mines
Suitable for applications that demand higher wear resistance. Hardox 500 increases payload and service life while maintaining good processability and toughness.
Educational sessions slated for BIOGAS AMERICAS 2025
The sessions will focus on the industry’s growth markets and its future landscape.
Magnet-powered miniature robots enable scalpel-free brain surgery
The robotic tools, which measure just 0.1 inch in diameter, can grip, pull and cut tissue. The tools are tiny because they are powered not by motors but by external magnetic fields.
Diagnostic tech rapidly identifies pathogens with near 100% accuracy
The researchers suggest that the new technique is remarkably faster and more accurate than traditional bacterial culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis.
New dental treatment adopts high-tech coating to combat tooth decay
According to the Queen Mary University of London team, Varnish VLC is designed to replicate the natural properties of enamel, reducing wear and preventing damage.
How nanotechnology can make a big impact on oil and gas wastewater applications
Nanoscience is transforming oil and gas wastewater treatment to reveal that it is the smallest innovations that present the industry’s biggest opportunities for improvement.
Thermal imaging for hydrogen flame detection and monitoring
Follow these guidelines to visualize ‘invisible’ hydrogen flames, improve situational awareness and keep technical staff safe.
Scientists develop eco-friendly detergent from wood and corn — Tough on stains, gentle on the planet
The sustainable plant-based detergent, which is composed of tiny wood fibers and corn protein, reportedly removes stains on clothes and dishes as well as common products already available on the market.
Igus demonstrates commitment to innovation and sustainability at Hannover Messe 2025
The motion plastics specialist will showcase its new polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-free materials, cable carriers made from recycled materials and more.
New life for old solar cells
New technology offers an opportunity to recover and recycle precious materials and thereby shrink the environmental load of photovoltaic waste.
Metalysis increases Gen 1 research units for novel advanced materials
The new units enable novel advanced materials research – providing proof of principle grams of output per machine run.
World Water Day 2025: Guard our glaciers
World Water Day 2025 will be observed on Saturday, March 22, 2025, with a focus on glacier preservation.
Self-powered biosensor detects and destroys bacteria in water — No electricity needed
The team developed a biosensor that could potentially be used in developing countries to make water safe for drinking.
WALTER Surface Technologies introduces FLEXCUT XX: Fast, efficient metal removal on flat and curved surfaces
The new ceramic grinding wheel is designed for ultra-fast material removal on steel, stainless steel and mill scale.
Shrimp shells: A game-changer for drug delivery in space
Scientists explored whether chitosan could potentially control the delivery of medicine when exposed to zero gravity, finding that drugs needed by astronauts can be delivered effectively in space.
New super skin self-heals 90% of cuts in 4 hours, fully repairs them in 24
The flexible, self-healing hydrogel promises to open up possibilities in wound healing, soft robotics, artificial skin and drug delivery applications.
Norton RazorStar abrasives offer unprecedented grinding performance
Enabling exceptionally high cut rates and material removal, the engineered shaped grain in these belts and discs features a consistent shape from grain-to-grain along with razor-sharp cutting points.
HEXPOL Compounding Americas expands portfolio
These products are tailored for the architectural glazing and power transmission markets.
New 3D printer uses graphene and AI to craft and cook food at once
According to its developers, the 3D printer creates complex edible structures and includes precision infrared heating for maximizing product quality and safety.
The science behind airplane deicing – a mechanical engineer explains how chemistry and physics make flying a more uplifting experience
For years, only ethylene glycol was used in deicers because of its low cost. However, because propylene glycol is less toxic to wildlife and humans, its adoption by commercial airlines has grown steadily since the 1980s.
