New alloy designed for subsea umbilicals
The new tube product represents the next generation of super-duplex seamless tubing developed specifically for the offshore oil and gas industry.
Converting sewage sludge into activated carbon
A new pyrolysis-based process converts the urban waste into activated carbon for use in gas treatment, energy storage and other applications.
Arburg at NPE 2024: Hybrid Allrounder 520 H produces high-quality molded parts from ABS recyclate
A hybrid Allrounder will demonstrate how ABS recyclate can be processed into high-quality molded parts and returned to the material cycle.
Brewer's yeast filters out metal from waste streams
Because electronic waste (E-waste) in notoriously difficult to recycle due in part to the number of different metals used in product manufacture, the researchers sought a way to selectively separate the metals for reuse.
New coating even more repellent to ice
To improve upon current ice-repellent coating iterations, which tend to be very sensitive and quickly detach from surfaces they are designed to protect, the team used manufacturing tech called initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD).
Gauge carbon footprint in automotive paint shops
A new tool delivers a comprehensive life cycle analysis of ecological footprint of paint shops.
A test for detecting fentanyl, other opioids in less than three minutes
The new blood test can analyze 96 blood samples that might contain opioids such as fentanyl simultaneously and in under three minutes — reportedly twice as fast as similar techniques.
Igus launches iglide i230 3D printing material for high-temperature applications
New powder material can withstand temperatures up to 110° C, expanding the use cases for selective laser sintering-printed polymer components.
Allrounder 470 Golden Electric: Automated LSR application
On show at Chinaplas 2024 will be the precise, cost-effective production of valves made of liquid silicone (LSR) with an electric Allrounder 470 E Golden Electric.
Team treats foot ulcers with plasma
The researchers explain that using plasma to treat chronic interior wounds and diabetic foot ulcers means that antibiotics, and subsequently, antibiotic resistance, might be avoided.
New process for laser drilling of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics
Scientists are simplifying the machining of composite materials such as carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) using laser beams.
Novel electrolyte quenches battery flammability
A self-extinguishing rechargeable battery replaces the most commonly used but combustible electrolyte with materials found in a commercial fire extinguisher.
Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric: First world premiere in the US
The new Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric will be introduced at NPE2024 in Orlando, Florida, the largest plastics trade show in the Americas.
Introducing the Fisher easy-Drive 200R electric actuator: Redefining reliability and sustainability in heavy industries
Emerson introduced this cutting-edge actuator as a solution to the limitations posed by gas-operated actuators, particularly in terms of emissions and performance.
Limescale-repellent coating developed by ETH Zurich
To develop the limescale-repellent coating, researchers first looked at the interactions among individual growing limescale crystals, surrounding water flow and the surface at the microscopic level.
Chicken feathers eyed for manufacturing adhesives
The researchers determined that using chicken feather-derived keratin to produce adhesives is a more sustainable manufacturing process than traditional approaches that use fossil raw materials such as petroleum.
An artificial tongue for detecting, inactivating common mouth bacteria
Designed to treat and manage dental diseases, the artificial tongue is based on a chemical sensor array that features a combination of multiple sensors.
Hybrid food developed for famine, war times and space
Scientists developed what they are calling cultured beef rice, wherein animal muscle (beef) was grown inside grains of rice.
Critical sealing needs for the nuclear energy lifecycle
Sealing systems are of paramount importance in a nuclear facility, as they ensure containment, control leaks and protect crucial components from damage due to extreme conditions.
Gel from wood pulp promises to heal damaged heart tissue, improve cancer treatments
Researchers from the University of Waterloo have invented a hydrogel that is capable of both healing damaged heart tissue and improving cancer treatments.
