Paper-based sensors used to identify biomarkers in wastewater
The team developed the sentinel sensors by building upon research conducted in 2020 to develop a test for detecting SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), Influenza A and Influenza B in wastewater using a paper-based platform in combination with an ultraviolet (UV) torch or mobile phone camera.
Graphene foil stems battery thermal runaway
The safety record of lithium-ion batteries can be enhanced by the manufacture of graphene foils with customizable thicknesses.
Maintenance for shell and tube heat exchangers
The effects of not maintaining heat exchangers can lead to catastrophic results. Some of the most dangerous failures are gasket failures, where the gasket between the shell and tube sides fails either internally or externally.
Diagnosing kidney disease with gold nanoparticles
The gold nanoparticles, when used as a contrast agent in X-rays, reportedly offer a more accurate picture of kidney health and they are calling it far superior to standard blood testing.
Turning toothpaste into transistors
The nano-device could specifically be used in the manufacture of future “smart pills” that will, once inside the body, track people’s health and then harmlessly break down.
Causes of fluid degradation and how to troubleshoot any issues
Discover the causes of heat transfer fluid degradation and solutions for preventing this problem.
Fundamentals of flame hardening
Just like other hardening techniques, flame hardening is suitable for gear teeth, drive shafts, railroad wheels, nozzles and other high wear surfaces.
