Camozzi Automation broadens series 6000 with advanced fittings featuring pre-applied PTFE sealant
New super-rapid fittings feature pre-applied polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sealant, expanding the utility and performance of the range.
Composite insulators: Unsung heroes of electricity transmission
Better power transmission efficiency over longer distances with less energy loss and cheaper costs is achieved by their exceptional weather resistance, which lowers leakage current.
Longer range, faster charging, longer life: Integrals Power develops battery cell cathode materials that will transform electric vehicles
The U.K.-based company is developing a range of high-performance cathode active materials that will enable batteries to become smaller, lighter and more durable.
Color-changing window ‘sunglasses' block out the heat
The electrochromic coatings — which function as so-called sunglasses for windows — change color on demand and subsequently prevent light from entering a space, thereby keeping it cool.
Gen-Hy unveils lifespan test bench for hydrogen products
The industrial test bench provides a complete and accurate analysis of the lifespan of electrolysis stacks (hydrogen generators) and their components.
The first large-scale electric steam cracker
The technology will reduce carbon dioxide emissions and enable greater reliance on renewable energy within the chemical industry.
Now in print: Stretchable conductors
The printing of conductors has arisen as a more eco-friendly, adaptable and economical substitute for conventional production methods, as materials are only placed where they are required, reducing wastage.
At-home spit test promises to detect prostate cancer sooner
The at-home spit test can identify genetic factors that reportedly predispose individuals to the disease, with the potential of saving thousands of lives by early detection of prostate cancer.
Frozen cakes
Device manufacturers with cryogenic applications require special conductor materials that will meet the challenges of extreme cold.
Milk protein-based gel seeks to reduce harmful effects of alcohol
The scientists developed a gel that promises to avoid this process and will instead transform alcohol into harmless acetic acids.
Sound-blocking silk promises to suppress noise up to 75%
Making this possible is a fiber within the thin silk fabric that is activated once an electrical charge is applied. According to its developers, the fabric will start shaking in response to sound, and will subsequently buffer noise.
Hydrogel tackles waterborne microplastics
The sustainable hydrogel has a unique intertwined polymer network that can bind and degrade microplastics using ultraviolet light irradiation.
Measuring corrosive biogas accurately and safely with rugged, HazEx-rated thermal mass flow meter
This ideal instrument solution for industrial and municipal waste gas processes lowers maintenance and extends instrument life to reduce cost of ownership.
Video demonstration of silver-filled epoxy for EMI/RFI shielding
Master Bond EP4S-80 is a one component, silver-filled epoxy for bonding, sealing and coating.
Apple Rubber: Innovating sealing solutions from design to delivery
Here is how Apple Rubber's manufacturing capabilities sets them apart in the world of sealing solutions.
Optimize industrial processes with high-temperature seals
Thermal insulation materials make effective seals for energy efficiency, reduction in downtime and increased personnel safety.
Microneedle patch designed to detect skin cancer early
The approach includes a patch outfitted with microneedles capable of detecting tyrosinase — an enzyme that is a biomarker for malignant melanoma — directly in the skin.
Using olivine in cement manufacturing could result in carbon-negative concrete
To make this determination, the team of engineers experimented with cement mixing, which led to an approach for producing concrete in a more climate-friendly manner.
Hexcel and Fairmat bolster sustainability efforts by expanding composite material recycling in the US
Fairmat will recycle Hexcel carbon fiber composite material scrap at their new site.
De Dietrich Process Systems scales up with the acquisition of HEINKEL Group
Through this acquisition, the group becomes the global leader in the fields of solid-liquid separation and the drying of active ingredients.
