E-Z LOK to exhibit new metal inserts at IMTS 2024
The company will highlight its new line of ultrasonic/heat-stake metal inserts and staking tools for plastics, which can be used for original equipment manufacturer builds as well as retrofits.
New biocompatible bandage promises to expedite wound healing
The biocompatible bandage can reportedly reduce the incidence of inflammation in burn wounds, which can encourage the generation of oxygen free radicals that subsequently impede the healing process.
Laser-treated cork promises to clean up oil spills
During a laser experiment in the lab, researchers discovered that laser-treated cork developed superhydrophobic, or water-repelling, and superoleophilic, or oil-attracting, properties.
Monport introduces its Mobility Protrude series
This series of compact CO2 laser engravers reportedly offers comparable performance to standard CO2 models, but the physical dimensions are very different.
Stainless-steel conduit: A solution for any harsh environment
Stainless steel alloys are the best choice in material for applications that require high strength and corrosion resistance.
Team eyes bismuth as alternative to cement for plugging oil and gas wells
As an alternative to the cement plugs currently used to plug abandoned oil and gas wells — but that can develop leaks over time due to corrosion, thereby becoming a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions — impermeable bismuth alloys show promise.
Brewer Science presents innovative material solutions for compound semiconductor manufacturing at CS Mantech
Explore cutting-edge material solutions designed to address the unique challenges of compound semiconductor manufacturing.
Team creates sustainable bricks from waste
Working in conjunction with Australia’s largest recycling company Visy, the RMIT University team created the recipe for these sustainable bricks.
Breath test designed to monitor antibiotic concentrations
The team is examining whether exhaled breath might be a painless and suitable alternative to blood analysis for the therapeutic monitoring of antibiotics.
EPA report documents decline in toxic chemical releases
Data point to a significant reduction in the amount of chemical contaminants introduced into the environment in the U.S. during 2022.
Stockwell Elastomerics launches new website
The revamped website offers a new design and navigation to better present the company's services to engineers and designers.
Battery recycling tech debuts in the US
The facility is projected to produce 2 metric tons/day of battery-grade precursor cathode active material.
Design experiments versus running them
One of the more challenging aspects of becoming an engineer is learning how to design and implement experiments versus simply running experiments as designed.
Fly ash eyed for increasing Kentucky oil, natural gas production
The CAER team is reportedly using ash fracking to target oil and natural gas wells that have either been abandoned or are no longer in operation.
New GO spray coating promises to improve the antiviral protection of face masks
The researchers selected graphene oxide (GO) — with its antiviral properties and ability to render viruses non-infectious while prohibiting viral replication and propagation — to develop the coating for biodegradable face masks.
Save up to 50% in axial space with Wave Springs
Learn about the transformative power of Smalley's space-saving Wave Springs.
Converting landfill gas into aviation fuel
A plasma reactor-based technique transforms methane and carbon dioxide from landfill sites into sustainable jet fuel.
Could this new adhesive give humans "Spiderman-like" wall-climbing powers?
The reusable adhesive is more than 10 times stronger than the adhesive grip of a gecko’s foot and could eventually lead to the development of reusable superglue and grippers capable of holding heavy weights across both rough and smooth surfaces as well as to the development of climbing robots.
New in-line metrology solution to improve battery safety and performance
The system delivers real-time, full-coverage mass loading analysis for battery electrode coating.
New plastic coating developed for 3D printing processes
Supercritical carbon dioxide was used to devise what the team suggests is an ‘efficient and clean’ process for coating plastic polyamide-12 (PA12) particles used in 3D printing of complex parts for the aerospace and automotive industries.
