One of the most difficult problems facing spacecraft engineers is how to power a craft once it is beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Fuel is incredibly costly to transport due to its weight, and if a long journey is scheduled it becomes incredibly impractical to take that amount of fuel into the atmosphere.

For the spectrochemical study of solid materials with a glow discharge, the Grimm lamp is the geometry of choice.
This article explores the use of FTIR spectroscopy and component analysis for classification and discrimination of food protein powders.
There is a lot of potential benefit for industry to have self-healing materials, particularly because the key benefits at the top of the pyramid would be that it leads to a longer lifecycle of the material.
Inside the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) mechanical rooms supporting corporate campuses, industrial plants, large commercial buildings, and institutional facilities, it is crucial to guarantee there is a working environment which is safe.
TacticID-1064 Raman device excels in identifying pigmented narcotics by minimizing fluorescence interference.
Shape memory alloys (SMA) are materials that “remember” their original shape and can go back to this original shape after deformation under a stimulus. They are also known as smart alloys or memory metals. SMAs were first reported by Arne Ölander in 1932.
