  • 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.

  • 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.
