  • Scientists develop 'unbreakable glass'

    This type of glass does not shatter when impacted like typical glass but instead mimics the resilience and reaction of plastic. The applications for this new type of glass are vast.

  • Halliburton introduces its DS365.ai cloud service

    Oilfield service firm Halliburton Company has released DS365.ai cloud service to help customers accelerate their digital transformation with intelligent automation.

  • Video: Liquid metal-based continuous flow reactor lacks moving parts

    Use of liquid metals could lead to the elimination of moving parts in continuous flow reactors and provide improved performance and reduced maintenance costs.

  • Automated route to pharma compound production

    The method can potentially be used for molecules typically produced via manual processes, thereby reducing the manpower required.

  • Patent-pending tech promises to change oil and gas industry

    PCT LTD and Nano Gas Technologies announce patent-pending technology that is expected to change the oil and gas industry.

  • The future in hose assembly: Smart crimping

    Internet of things-enabled crimpers have dramatically improved crimp production by keeping track of important data, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting issues.

  • Ulbrinox receives IATF 16949:2016 accreditation

    The certification focuses on quality in specific ways and in all facets of the automotive market.

  • 3D-printed assisted suicide pod receives approval for use in Switzerland

    Netherlands-based Exit International has received approval for the legal operation of its assisted suicide 3D-printed Sarco pod in Switzerland.

  • Quality assurance in fastener assembly

    It is more important than ever for quality assurance teams to provide effective support for workers in every step of the assembly process.

  • Reducing nitrate in groundwater with organic carbon

    Nitrate degradation is enhanced by adding carbon-containing substances to groundwater.

  • Video: Robotape automates the industrial taping process

    The automated platform is entirely flexible to the user’s needs, relying solely on programming to position and apply the tape for complicated tasks.

  • AI boosts water desalination efficiency

    An artificial intelligence (AI)-based method streamlines graphene membrane design for reverse osmosis desalination applications.

  • Materials that Matter (Dec. 12-18)

    It is impossible to adequately convey the immense magnitude of materials science in just a handful or articles. But we'll try.

  • Guidance for measuring recycled content of automotive products

    A common industry-supported definition and approach are outlined for measuring recycled content of automotive products consistent with those approaches outlined in other standards.

  • New compounds incorporate pre-consumer recycled glass fiber to accelerate carbon neutrality

    SABIC incorporates pre-consumer recycled glass fiber diverted from the waste stream of industrial processes into the materials.

  • Critical need for eco-friendly firefighting foam

    Currently there is nothing on the market that comes close to the effectiveness of AFFF that could be considered environmentally friendly and a deadline is fast approaching.

  • 3M thermally conductive products now available at Heilind Electronics

    The products are designed to provide a preferential heat-transfer between heat-generating components and heat sinks or other cooling devices.

  • Structural bonding adhesive for EV battery applications

    The curing adhesive reliably protects sensitive electric vehicle (EV) batteries from shocks, vibrations and other harmful effects.

  • First commercial passenger flight with 100% SAF

    On December 1, 2021, United Airlines operated the world's first passenger flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

  • Resins feature flame retardancy and impact resistance for EV battery modules

    The resins address key requirements for electric vehicle (EV) batteries for improved safety, range and power with enhanced flame retardancy and impact strength.
