Using water to propel a satellite
A satellite successfully used water as a propellant to change orbit for the first time, leading the way to novel propulsion systems that are more efficient and run on inexpensive fuel.
EPA issues health-based criteria for PFAS in water
The new criteria can be used to inform water quality standards to protect people from exposure to PFAS.
China develops chameleon-like 'invisibility' gear for military operations
The new material, called Self-Adaptive Photochromism (SAP), can reportedly change color in response to its surroundings — much like a chameleon — making the wearer “effectively invisible” when applied to clothing.
A buoyant solar solution for water scarcity issues
The low-cost, solar-powered and portable water desalination device could help combat water scarcity in developing or remote areas.
New stealth coating makes aircraft invisible to anti-stealth radars
The paper-thin coating, comprised of metamaterials, can absorb low-frequency electromagnetic (EM) waves from different angles, thereby outperforming existing radar-absorbing materials for stealth aircraft,
Shining a light on bioelectronics' bright future
Among other things, bioelectronics are used to treat heart rhythms, seizures and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's.
Revolutionary plasma tech transforms water into a germ-killing powerhouse
The device, which pairs plasma activation with solar charging, could be a possible solution for sanitation in regions where electricity is scarce or areas that commonly experience harsh conditions.
DNA-based nanorobot hand captures viruses for diagnostics
The aptly name NanoGripper is designed to expedite the detection of the virus as well as block viral particles from entering cells to infect them.
MIT develops silicone balloons that inflate and deflate in the stomach to aid weight loss
The balloon is intended to help individuals manage their weight by giving the patient the sensation of being full and consequently reduce overeating.
Types of transmission line protection
Different types of protection are available for transmission lines, including overcurrent, distance, differential, pilot, ground fault, overvoltage, underfrequency, phase balancing and RTU-based solutions.
Ascend Elements to expand lithium recovery at battery recycling facility
The company will begin producing greater than 99% pure, sustainable lithium carbonate recovered from used lithium-ion batteries at its facility in Covington, Georgia, in 2025.
Low viscosity, optically clear epoxy passes medical device safety standard
The two component non-cytotoxic epoxy is ideal for imaging applications or other medical devices where optical clarity is needed.
CO2Meter releases new PRO-10 portable CO2 safety detector
The detector is ideal for applications in the food and beverage industry, dry ice production, indoor agriculture, and scientific or pharma fields.
New nanofiber patch offers dual-action relief for psoriasis
The patch contains two active ingredients and releases them onto the skin at different rates, without requiring frequent re-application.
New surface design prevents frost formation
Altering the texture of practically any surface and adding a thin layer of graphene oxide will prevent 100% of frost from forming on surfaces for one week and possibly longer.
Laser Photonics’ CleanTech removes corrosion from oil and gas pipes
Using CleanTech systems, operators can avoid corrosion and rust with an eco-friendly, time-effective and energy-efficient method of cleaning.
New self-healing fabric paves the way for smarter robotics and wearables
The fiber, dubbed SHINE, is a flexible, durable and highly visible material that could potentially be used in the robotics, fashion and wearable technology fields.
Henkel and Celanese collaborate to offer adhesives made from captured CO2 emissions
Water-based adhesives will be produced from captured emissions, creating new opportunities to drive sustainability across a range of applications.
DOPAG unveils new drum pumps for lubricants, adhesives and sealants with customizable features
DOPAG drum pumps facilitate easy operation, with options for both one-hand and two-hand control.
Scientists create a quick, touch-free method to detect bacteria in liquids
With the promise of easier diagnostic tests and greater food safety, the biogel test can reportedly be employed by untrained users to confirm contamination in fluids.
