Tiny Optical Gyroscope Smaller Than a Grain of Rice
You may not realize it, but gyroscopes can be found in pretty much any modern electronic gadget. With applications ranging from cell phones to...
Thermoplastic composites recycling process
The ThermoPlastic composites Application Center (TPAC, Enschede, the Netherlands) and the Thermoplastic Research Centre (TPRC, Enschede, the Netherlands) have developed a new recycling process...
Breakthrough in self-healing materials
The cost of making plastics, paints, coatings for cell phone screens and other materials that heal themselves like skin could be dramatically reduced thanks...
Catalysts more efficient and environmentally friendly
By studying materials down to the atomic level, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have found a way to make catalysts more efficient and...
New polymer films conduct heat instead of trapping it
Polymers are usually the go-to material for thermal insulation. Think of a silicone oven mitt, or a Styrofoam coffee cup, both manufactured from polymer...
A Revolutionary Change in Vehicle Panel Production featuring Sabic’s UDMAX™ Thermoplastic...
SABIC announced at JEC World 2019 a new, cutting-edge technology for producing lightweight, cost-effective and recyclable vehicle panels using its UDMAX™ tape, a unidirectional,...
kinetiX—designing auxetic-inspired deformable material structures
This paper describes a group of auxetic-inspired material structures that can transform into various shapes upon compression. We developed four cellular-based material structure units...
Economical way to produce high-performance thin films for electronics
Researchers at Missouri S&T have found an unprecedented, economical method for creating high-performance inorganic thin films, or “epitaxial” films, used in the manufacture of...
Shrinking the carbon footprint of a chemical in everyday objects
A new method for synthesizing the epoxides found in plastics, textiles, and pharmaceuticals could be powered by electricity.
The biggest source of global energy consumption...
Chemical engineers first to functionalize boron nitride with other nanosystems
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered a route to alter boron nitride, a layered 2D material, so that it can...
