NTT Corporation (President and CEO: Akira Shimada, “NTT”) and the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo (GSFS) have successfully produced the world's first communication signal using a battery and a circuit composed of environmentally friendly materials free of scarce elements and hazardous substances.
Tri-Mack Plastics Manufacturing Corporation, a leading high-performance thermoplastics parts manufacturer, will announce their latest product-development achievement at this month’s CAMX show: very lightweight, high-strength enclosures made from just eight plies of unidirectional carbon-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite (TPC) tape and only forty thousandths of an inch thick (.040”).
SHENMAO America, Inc. has successfully developed a no-clean high thermal impact reliability solder paste. PF918-PW216 solder paste adopts the newly designed high reliability lead-free alloy (Sn/4Ag/3Bi) that achieves tensile strength performance 1.4 times higher than typical SAC305 alloys.
Topological states are an integral part of materials research because they are exceedingly stable. It is now possible to toggle such states on and off for the first time.
A team of scientists from China have published a new paper in Nature Communications investigating the development of high-performance n-type sulfide PbSnS2 which has the potential to match the outstanding performance of p-type SNS.
