The system simplifies the filter change process when switching from vacuuming a dry material to a liquid.
Precious metal clad composite wire improves performance and value over solid wire
Custom manufactured clad metal wire can be formulated to improve performance characteristics of solid precious metal wire at a small fraction the cost of solid.
Research signals divergent greenhouse gas emission trends
Measures to reduce atmospheric levels of ozone layer-depleting chemicals are proving effective as emissions of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, are on the rise.
Shade variations of black and gray for LSR pigments
Both standard and custom pigments for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) are available, including a surprising variety of shades of black and gray.
The unrivaled choice: Metal-free conveyors for specialty applications
Learn why plastic conveyors are ideal for metal detection and caustic/corrosive environment applications.
Able Electropolishing acquires state-of-the-art inspection equipment to enhance precision and quality
The equipment further improves the precision and effectiveness of electropolishing to enhance the finish, fit and function of critical metal parts.
Personal air purifier keeps subway users breathing easier
The device reportedly creates a clean bubble of air that surrounds a user's face and features two fans that pass air through Spunbond Polypropylene (SBPP) filters that capture particulate matter roughly 30 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
Photovoltaic window coating offers energy and thermal benefits
A new coating for semi-transparent photovoltaic glazing that delivers remarkable energy yield and a low heat gain rate.
Extending the shelf life of produce with shellfish
The new material is derived from crab and shrimp shells and is designed to create a microscopically thin nanocrystal layer on treated produce, thus removing chemical residues.
Tuneable anti-counterfeiting material promises to safeguard valuables
The inorganic phosphor nanoparticles will remain visible to the human eye for several minutes once the UV light source is removed.
Beeswax-derived food wraps extend food shelf life in war zones
Cardiff-based scientists employed cloth pieces and even paper, combined with beeswax and other naturally occurring antimicrobial plants like sage, to create assorted wrap recipes.
Mobile laser can zap a dime from half a mile away
The Fractl Portable High Energy Laser is reportedly the first directed-energy weapon that can track things as small as a dime piece traveling 62 mph at a distance and has enough power to burn through steel.
Bandage measures glucose levels in sweat using microlaser technology
The team encapsulated microlasers in liquid crystal droplets and embedded the liquid within a soft hydrogel film, thereby creating a compact and flexible light-based sensing device.
Fingerprint detection improved with carbon-coated nanoparticles
The new type of powder for dusting fingerprints reportedly enabled the researchers to better image the nanoscale details more clearly as it deepens the contrast between the fingerprint’s ridges and valleys.
ARBURG at Fakuma 2024
ARBURG will be showcasing its latest machine to the general public in Germany for the first time: the hybrid ALLROUNDER 720 E GOLDEN ELECTRIC.
Confirmed: The environmental merits of SAF
An in-flight study recently recorded a dramatic drop in emissions from a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)-powered Airbus A350.
Hydrogel-enhanced soil waters and feeds itself
During trials, researchers reported that the hydrogel-infused soil produced larger, healthier plants, versus those produced with regular soil — and using less water and fertilizer.
