Zwick and partner company CaTs3 have updated its suite of products relating to servo controllers and software for fatigue and durability testing in the Automotive and Aerospace market sectors.
Aircraft maintenance will be easier in future, with sensors monitoring the aircraft skin. If they discover any dents or cracks they will send a radio message to a monitoring unit. The energy needed for this will be obtained from temperature difference.
Researchers at NIST, in collaboration with private industry and other government agencies, have produced a new standard reference material for beryllium, an exotic rare-earth metal used as a hardener in high-performance alloys and ceramics. The metal can cause berylliosis, a chronic, incurable and sometimes fatal illness, and the new reference material is expected to dramatically improve methods used to monitor workers' exposure.
Konarka Technologies, Inc., an innovator in development and commercialization of Konarka Power Plastic, a material that converts light to energy, today unveiled a line of solar panels for use in a variety of portable cha...
NASA's Glenn Research Center has awarded a one-year contract option to Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC) of Greenbelt, Md., for engineering and scientific services. The option has a value that will not exceed ...
LyondellBasell Industries is launching a new high-performance range of Lupolen high density polyethylene (HDPE) resins to address the diversified requirements of customer rotomolding applications.
Goodrich Corporation (NYSE:GR) has been awarded a contract by the Defense Logistics Agency - Ogden to provide new carbon brakes and boltless wheels for the Air Force's fleet of C-130 transport aircraft. The selection...
In what may prove to be a major development for scientists in fields ranging from forensics to quantum communications, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new, highly sensitive, low-cost technique for measuring light in the near-infrared range.
Airline travelers are used to being instructed to turn off computers and cell phones during takeoffs and landings as a precaution against interfering with the plane’s navigational equipment, but outside sources of high-energy interference can be even more dangerous. Recent tests by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will provide much needed, independent data on how electromagnetic radiation penetrates aircraft, helping to ensure continued air travel safety.
In the first study to look at what happens over the years to the billions of pounds of plastic waste floating in the world's oceans, scientists are reporting that plastics - reputed to be virtually indestructible - decompose with surprising speed and release potentially toxic substances into the water.
