HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • Newly engineered Norton NORaX abrasive belts offer significantly improved finishing, polishing performance

    The new belts have up to 30% better performance compared with other belts in their class.

  • Algorithm advances optical thin film design

    Transformer neural network technology can be tapped to optimize the optical properties of materials.

  • Axalta to take waterborne wood coatings to the next level with Cerulean

    The new waterborne industrial wood coatings range combines low volatile organic carbons with the high-quality feel of solvent-based solutions.

  • Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric: Slim in design and price

    The machine combines electrical precision, process stability and a small installation area with high component quality, low investment costs and short delivery times.

  • Precision wettability analysis for microscopically small surfaces

    Measure the wettability of microscopic surfaces by almost any liquid with the DSA30M Flexible Liquid from KRÜSS.

  • Team creates environmentally friendly adhesive polymer

    To create the adhesive polymer, the team used an electrophilic stabilizer to prevent a specific fatty acid from depolymerizing, which, in turn, enabled its use as an adhesive.

  • New chalk-based fabric keeps things cool

    The team developed a mineral-polymer coating comprised of calcium carbonate particles, which reflects visible and near-infrared light, while particles of barium sulfate reflect UV light.

  • Corrugated wall coverings promise to passively cool buildings

    To reach this conclusion, the team added corrugated siding to a small test building, which reportedly lowered the temperatures of the wall.

  • Yokogawa to release lightweight, energy efficient OpreX Battery Web Gauge ES-5 for production of battery electrode sheets

    The system monitors and controls the quality of thickness in the electrode manufacturing of rechargeable batteries such as lithium-ion batteries.

  • A sustainable alternative to lithium batteries

    The world's first 18650 potassium-ion battery represents a sustainable and cost-efficient alternative to the widely used lithium-ion battery chemistry.

  • Join ZERUST at IMTS 2024: Presentation on dual action cleaning and rust prevention

    Learn how these products combine cleaning and rust prevention to streamline operations and enhance efficiency.

  • Electric bandage expedites wound healing

    The team created WPEDs, which are disposable wound dressings featuring electrodes on one side and a small, biocompatible battery, which is composed of a magnesium anode and a silver/silver chloride cathode with a dry cellulose separator impregnated with sodium chloride, on the other side.

  • Team develops lignin-derived coating for protective gloves

    The new coating offers abrasion resistance, and is both waterproof and resistant to chemicals and oil. Its developers suggest that the coating even protects against cuts and punctures.

  • New saliva test detects heart failure at home in mere minutes

    The eCaDI device is comprised of five layers — three layers of transparent, flexible plastic, combined with layers of double-sided adhesive.

  • New wildfire-shielding gel promises to protect homes

    When introduced to the heat of a wildfire, the water in the gel will evaporate and the cellulose will burn away, leaving behind a silica-based aerogel with excellent insulation properties.

  • A path to fully recyclable lithium batteries

    Prospects for fully recycling all components of rechargeable solid-state lithium batteries improve with a reconfigured device design developed at Pennsylvania State University.

  • ASC opens innovation awards and submissions for 2025

    The awards recognize the top three cutting edge innovations from the adhesive and sealant industry.

  • Learn how to manufacture maritime parts in hours at IMTS 2024

    New cold spray additive manufacturing technology prints nickel aluminum bronze parts in a fraction of the time traditionally required.

  • Linde Advanced Material Technologies to highlight GRX-810 alloy at IMTS 2024 following licensing agreement with NASA

    The alloy is an ideal candidate for high-temperature applications within the aerospace domain.

  • Discover high-speed composite manufacturing with Raise3D at IMTS 2024

    Don't miss the opportunity to see the future of 3D printing technology up close at IMTS 2024.
