The new hybrid machine technology for medical products reduces material usage by 20%.
Avery Dennison introduces Volt Tough stretch electrical insulation tape
A new conformable film product helps prevent electrical arcing in electric vehicle battery packs.
Sound waves separate viruses from saliva
The team determined that their approach could quickly and accurately separate viruses from both large and small particles in human saliva samples.
Nanomaterial designed for use at crime scenes without a lab
To create the new fluorescent nanoparticle, researchers used a combination of materials including MCM-41, chitosan and dansylglyci.
Next generation Seco C-Series end mills combine tradition of quality with flexibility and performance
These end mills incorporate an advanced SIRON-A coating that boosts general-purpose tool life by up to 30%.
Robot screens solar cell composition
The platform can mix precursors and conduct spin coating, annealing and analysis of optoelectronic thin films.
DuPont Performance Building Solutions launches high-performance accessories designed to simplify and streamline installations of the ArmorWall System
New products are designed to help provide air and water barrier continuity in exterior walls and integrate seamlessly with the DuPont ArmorWall System.
Improving nuclear fusion with mayonnaise
Researchers are fixing nuclear fusion fuel instability problems with a few dabs of mayonnaise.
Struggling with adhesive failure?
Prevent adhesive failure with our webinar “Don’t Blame the Adhesive, it Never Had a Chance!”
Concrete crack resistance improved by fish scale-inspired design
The Princeton team used a combination of additive manufacturing processes and precision robotic automation to form twisted concrete components, thereby resulting in concrete that is reportedly both stronger and more durable.
Introduction to binary phase diagrams for metallurgy
A binary phase diagram plots the composition, expressed as a percentage of one element against temperature. At any given combination of composition and temperature, the phase of the metal can be determined.
Finger wrap tracks glucose, vitamins, drug levels through sweat
Setting this wearable apart is that the device is powered by the sweat that it analyzes.
Fighting antibiotic-resistant biofilms with silver nanoparticles
To penetrate biofilms, the team developed a nanoparticle that combines various mechanisms for killing bacteria.
PPG launches spray-on insulation coating for oil and gas, infrastructure industries
This silicone-based coating is designed for high-heat environments in the oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical and other critical infrastructure industries, where it offers improved safety, asset protection and operational efficiency compared to traditional thermal insulative materials.
Students create pinecone-shaped wildfire detector
The device, dubbed Pyri, was inspired by pinecones and the phenomenon known as “pyriscence,” wherein plants adapted to fire release their seeds when exposed to high temperatures.
Building cities of the future with lava
As part of a project called Lavaforming, Arnhildur Pálmadóttir is detailing how lava might be used as a sustainable construction material.
New hydrogel promises to slow and treat arthritis
Expected to slow the progression of and potentially treat osteoarthritis, the new technique uses “hydrogel microspheres” in combination with an antibody to restore cartilage lubrication.
Using light — not heat — to destroy PFAS
A room-temperature defluorination method offers a promising solution for treating perfluoroalkyl substances.
Anti-bleed gel promises to save soldiers' lives
Cresilon’s plant-based hemostatic gel, dubbed Traumagel, is expected to temporarily control the flow of blood when applied externally to a wound.
Fundamentals of metallurgical carburization and diffusion
Carburization is used most often for components that have high wear, such as gear teeth, fasteners, locks, camshafts, railroad wheels and many others. In particular, these components need to be resistant to wear, but also need to undergo repeated, cyclic stresses.
