Water- and dirt-repellent outdoor clothing and sportswear, or anti-fog windshields – there are many daily use products that can gain from very hydrophobic coatings. For such coatings, researchers guided by Dr. Bastian E. Rapp at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have created Fluoropor, a material that is both abrasion-resistant and transparent and that comprises of a fluorinated polymer foam with continuous nano/micro-structure. Fluoropor is described in Nature Scientific Reports.
Galaxy Scientific Inc., a leader in portability spectroscopy, introduces the newest product. The QuasIR™ 1000 is an NIR analysis solution that brings together portability with unmatched spectroscopic performance.

The steel used for constructing a building can be protected from being buckled and failing during a fire by adding additional coats of “paint.”
Axalta Coating Systems has expanded its industrial Tufcote™ product line with Tufcote Hydro 2.1 HG and Tufcote Hydro LV HG waterborne acrylic products.
A distinctive experimental instrument has been developed by army and MIT scientists to better investigate the durability of robust and high-performance polymeric materials with the ability to self-strengthen when they are subjected to high impact.
With a warming world moving from fossil fuels toward renewable solar and wind energy, industrial forecasts predict a limitless requirement for battery farms to store power and provide electricity when the air is still and the sky is dark.
Scientists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) and the Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electrodynamics (ITAE) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) have worked in cooperation with a collaborator from RIKEN (Institute for Physical and Chemical Research in Japan) to provide theoretical proof of the presence of an innovative class of materials.
Physicists from UCLA have invented a new technique for synthesizing a distinctive new molecule that can, in due course, be used in fields such as food science, medicine, and others. The study also demonstrates the technique for analyzing chemical reactions on a microscopic-scale by applying tools of physics, and has been published in the Science journal.
A flexible and organic alternative to the rigid batteries used for powering medical implants has been designed by experts at Queen's University Belfast.
In specific high-loading structural applications, it is possible for metallic materials to have large ductility and high toughness.
