Researchers from Cambridge’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed a continuous fabrication system for producing polymer films with highly aligned molecular chains.
Rigaku has introduced a portable analyzer, SmartSite RS, meant exclusively for on-site studies to calculate the residual stress of metal components. SmartSite RS can be used for large-scale building projects as well as for independent products such as maritime vessels, pipelines, bridges, aerospace equipment, aircraft, automobiles, and heavy machinery.
Crystalline materials capable of absorbing and storing oxygen in large quantities have been synthesized by the University of Southern Denmark researchers. It is also possible to release the stored oxygen from the material whenever and wherever required by subjecting it to gentle heating or low oxygen pressures.
Researchers at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed safe antibacterial fibres using bio-compatible plastics and lanosol, an antimicrobial compound found in red algae seaweeds. Silver ions are widely used in odor-free and antibacterial clothing, and safety of these materials has been widely debated.
Researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University, have demonstrated graphene deposition at a low temperature of 400°C, which was made possible using the PICOPLASMA™ remote plasma source system from Picosun Oy, a renowned atomic layer deposition (ALD) system manufacturer.
Droplets are tiny spherical drops of fluid that are incapable of moving on its own. However, researchers from Southern Denmark University and Institute of Chemical Technology, Czech Republic have succeeded in making alcohol droplets move in water. They believe that this invention may serve as a breakthrough in potential applications of drug delivery.
Researchers from multiple institutions have joined together in an endeavor to develop better multicomponent catalytic processes and materials for producing more effective and cost-effective materials such as polymers and chemicals. The National Science Foundation has awarded nearly $1.5 million for this project under the Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future initiative.
Scientists working at Ångström Laboratory at the Uppsala University, Sweden have developed a new environment-friendly battery prototype using resources from pine resin and alfalfa (lucerne seed) coupled with a smart recycling approach. Their concept could very well become an alternate option to present-day lithium batteries that have its share of environmental issues.
NIST researchers have created a new technique to investigate the complex internal structures of microscopic batteries.
Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) have developed a specialised wavelength dispersive spectrometer which can help to accurately detect light elements when using an electron microscope.
