ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene implant
For the first time ever, a research team from the small innovative enterprise Biomimetix, implementing several NUST MISIS developments, has successfully implanted a biomimetic...
New method measures 3-D polymer processing precisely
Recipes for three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, of parts have required as much guesswork as science. Until now.
Resins and other materials that react...
3D Printing Glass-Ceramics at the Nanoscale
Fabrication of a true-3D inorganic ceramic with resolution down to nanoscale using sol-gel resist precursor is demonstrated. The method has an unrestricted free-form capability,...
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...
Interstate Plastics Highlights Applications for StarBoard® ST Ultra-Stiff Outdoor Building Sheet
Interstate Plastics now offers HDPE is weldable, one of the most scratch-resistant building polymers available. It’s ideal construction material for cabinetry, case goods, and...
Eco-friendly way of obtaining highly active catalysts
A team from Sechenov University and Russian colleagues developed a method for obtaining substances that accelerate the binding of hydrogen molecules with hydrocarbons via...
Welding thermoplastic composites
Unlike composites made with a thermoset matrix, thermoplastic composites (TPCs) require neither complex chemical reactions nor lengthy curing processes. Thermoplastic prepregs require no refrigeration,...
AWACS maintainers at leading edge of 3-D printing
Imagine you’re in aircraft maintenance and a mission is scheduled to fly in the next 24 hours. You need a part that hasn’t been...
IBM – A new brain-inspired architecture could improve how computers handle...
IBM RESEARCHERS DESIGNED A NEW COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE WITH CO-LOCATED MEMORY AND PROCESSING. IN STUDIES, THEIR PROTOTYPE RAN 200 TIMES FASTER THAN CONVENTIONAL COMPUTERS.
