COVID-19 has generated a new public awareness and appreciation for hygiene, along with a necessity to innovate current disinfecting and cleaning methods. Swiss company Tweaq has taken hold of this opportunity with its latest development - the world’s first smart self-cleaning door handle.
Read here to learn how potentiometric determination of anionic and cationic surfactants can be achieved with surfactant electrodes.
Since the advent of steel structures, corrosion has been a huge issue. While there are many methods of corrosion protection available, some produce environmentally damaging compounds or are simply not as protective as they could be. To this end, graphene is being explored as a potential eco-friendly protective method against corrosion.
The Rancimat test is an easy to use method to determine the stability-based value of natural oils.

Due to the differing demands flow additives place on powders, different powder behaviors can be observed.
When understanding powder behavior, in-process performance and final product quality will be influenced by properties of the raw materials delivered to the process.
Lactose powders are commonly used pharmaceutical excipient available in a variety of grades, depending on the application.
An in-line drag force flow (DFF) sensor, such as the one made by Lenterra Inc. (Figure 1), provides highly sensitive and robust in-line measurement of flow forces within the granulator.
Understanding powder behavior during preparation, transfer, and filling of dies is important in powder metallurgy as each step influences the quality of the final component.
