Novelis announced today
that effective March 26, 2009, it will cease the production of alumina at its
Ouro Preto unit. In future, the plant will purchase alumina through third-parties.
Other activities related to the facility, including electric power generation
and the production of primary aluminum metal, will continue unaffected.
The method, which is based on near-field microscopy, opens new avenues for analyzing mechanical properties of high-performance materials or for contact-free mapping of local conductivity in strain-engineered electronic devices
Brim Brothers in Ireland is developing the next generation of cyclist power
meter that has all the benefits of the existing devices but none of the drawbacks.
To Brim Brothers' satisfaction, Noliac
Ceramics has provided piezoceramic components for development of the power
meter.

Piezo systems specialist Physik
Instrumente will introduce the novel N-380 / N-381 NEXACT® ceramic
linear motor actuators at this year’s Photonics West conference in San
Jose, CA. The new actuator is based on the Piezo Walk principle and replaces
classical lead screw actuators combining high forces and long travel ranges
with sub-nanometer resolution in a small package.
Exposing silicon wafers to light during chip manufacture requires special fixtures called chucks. Novel electrostatic chucks made of glass ceramics are incredibly flat. This prevents structural distortions on the exposur...
