3D printing has been around for longer than most people think - the first 3D print was made in 1981 by Hideo Kodama. But 3D printing has come a long way since then, with prints being made at resolutions as low as two-hundredths of a millimeter.

For more than 50 years, Process Insights instruments and their catalysis have been recognized for their exceptional performance by the world’s leading researchers.
Rheology is a branch of physics that describes the deformation and flow of matter, in particular the non-Newtonian flow of liquids and the plastic flows of solids. The study of rheological properties is important as it can affect every stage of a material’s usage across numerous industries, from formulation development and stability, to processing and product performance.

At present, the most popular battery platform is the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. Li-ion batteries have high power density and lower memory effects compared to other battery compositions. With the never-ending dawn of more intricate, power hungry technologies, there is an increasing need for safe, smaller, more powerful and resilient batteries.
