Polymer coating lightens the load for Li batteries
A nanoporous polymer-coated lithium (Li) foil anode reduces the amount of the metal required in a single battery.
A toothpaste that promises to treat peanut allergies
The toothpaste is expected to deliver allergenic peanut proteins to the allergic person’s oral cavity, thereby gradually desensitizing the user to the allergen.
BCA introduces tire shredder for productivity
Milwaukee-based BCA Industries, a manufacturer of professional recycling equipment and accessories, has designed its PD1000 IO X tire shredder.
Uniqsis introduces its LED photoreactor for glass static mixing blocks
The high power LED lamp unit uses individual LEDs with a total power rating of 150 W and is available in a wide range of single wavelengths (365 nm, 385 nm, 420 nm, 450 nm, 460 nm or 525 nm).
Exploring the methods of custom tube assembly
Custom tube assembly for small diameter stainless steel tubing is used in many applications that often involve complex manufacturing processes to achieve a single, integrated component.
New grid, EV battery pack and EV technology helps drive a sustainable future
High-quality tapes, seals and compression pads are important to meeting the challenges of electric vehicles (EVs), EV supply equipment and grid infrastructure as a whole.
Corrosion — What it is and what can be done to prevent it: Part 1
Follow along with GlobalSpec as we explore some of those solutions that go beyond the traditional anti-corrosion solutions that generally include painting, tarring, galvanizing and enameling among others, in this two-part feature.
Team engineers plants to serve as environmental sensors for dangerous chemicals
The team engineered the color-changing plant using a protein called abscisic acid (ABA), which assists plants in acclimating to stressful environments.
Robotic system accelerates analysis of candidate solar cell materials
The automated system streamlines the task of identifying efficient and non-toxic solar materials.
This fluorescent artificial seed monitors soil temperature
Mimicking the aerodynamic behavior of winged Acer seeds, which are dispersed by the wind, the team developed the so-called Acer i-Seed.

A new synthesis approach lowers production costs and raises the efficiency of these solar cells.
New catalyst promotes mixed plastics recycling
The catalyst offers scope to reduce process complexity and improve prospects for achieving circularity in the mixed plastics sector.
Putting an efficient solar scheme for green hydrogen in motion
The process uses up to 40% of solar heat for green fuel generation, a significant improvement over the 7% utilization rate achieved by existing systems.
New approach verifies authenticity of COVID-19 vaccines
The new approach involves handheld spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) for rapidly authenticating unopened vials of COVID-19 vaccines.
Aluminum-ion batteries: Are they the post-lithium power option?
The aluminum-ion battery is poised to supplant lithium-ion technology because of its potential to change the way energy is stored.
A salty system for keeping computers cool
The passive thermal management process is based on the use of water containing the salt lithium bromide.
Lubrizol launches Carbopol polymers for nutraceuticals with new EU food grade approval
The use of Carbopol as an additive for liquid and solid food supplements in the EU has been approved.
New nanocellulose-based aerogel film promises to keep buildings cooler
The new nanocellulose aerogel film offers powerful solar scattering and infrared emissivity, subsequently making the material highly effective for passive cooling during the summer months.
Foiling forever chemicals with ultrasound
Ultrasound offers potential for treating "forever chemicals" in contaminated groundwater.
Expired medications eyed for oilfield problem
Researchers from Saudi Aramco have reportedly identified a common prescription drug — which has so-far gone unnamed — as an effective alternative to commonly used corrosion inhibitors.
