The SERVOTOUGH SpectraExact 2500F analyser offers flexible gas and liquid analysis for hazardous areas, enhancing accuracy and reducing maintenance costs.
Researchers embedded a sulfonate-functionalized covalent organic framework in a fluorinated polymer electrolyte, creating ordered pathways that increased sodium-ion conductivity to 1.2 mS cm?¹ at 30 °C. The composite supported long-lived sodium-metal cycling and retained 87.3% capacity after 488 cycles in a 1 Ah solid-state pouch cell.

Vertical Aerospace (Vertical) has today completed the UK's first public demonstration flight of a full-scale wing tilt-rotor electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft at Farnborough International Airshow, marking a major milestone for UK aerospace and advanced air mobility.
Researchers estimated that dormant smartphones in Norway exceeded 10 million devices by 2024, substantially outnumbering the 6.8 million phones still in use. Across three analyzed components, active and dormant devices held about 80 tonnes of critical raw materials, although current recycling systems struggle to recover their rare-earth elements.

Catalyst performance is central to efficiency, selectivity, and process reliability in the chemical and catalyst industries.
The FieldServer Modbus IoT Gateway from MSA Safety enables seamless connectivity between Modbus devices and IIoT, enhancing operational efficiency and security.
Modeling suggests that overlooking lithium, cobalt, and nickel constraints could overestimate China’s EV ownership by 42% in 2060 while underestimating cumulative CO2 emissions by 57% and transition costs by 6%. Recycling and lower-cobalt batteries could ease supply pressures, but net-zero transport would still require carbon-neutral or negative-emissions electricity or carbon removal.

PicoQuant, a world leading company in photoluminescence instrumentation, announces the launch of Solira, a new microscope for time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements and advanced materials characterization.
Flowserve Corporation, a leading provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, has closed its all-cash acquisition of Trillium Flow Technologies' Valves Division for $490 million plus working capital adjustments.
The success of a promising class of next-generation batteries may hinge on something almost impossibly thin: a coating just a nanometer thick - roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair.
The future of scientific discovery will use all the technological tools at humanity's disposal, and no scientific field is better equipped to do so than autonomous discovery, which combines robotics and artificial intelligence (AI).
BYK-Gardner USA, a subsidiary of the specialty chemicals group ALTANA, is acquiring perisens GmbH.
Researchers developed a thiourea-derived surface treatment that combines a sub-nanometer sulfur-rich coating with a spinel-like layer to protect lithium-rich manganese oxide cathodes and accelerate lithium-ion transport. In laboratory solid-state half-cells, the modified cathode delivered 220.2 mAh g?¹ and retained approximately 97% of its capacity after 600 cycles at 1 C.

Researchers have shown it is possible to expand the field of twistronics – literally.
This review shows how grain refinement, dynamic recrystallization, phase transformations, and controlled precipitation enable selected medium- and high-entropy alloys to sustain extreme elongation at elevated temperatures. The authors identify scalable processing, oxidation resistance, cost, recyclability, and validation in engineering-scale components as key barriers to industrial superplastic forming.
