The Magneto-Rheology Accessory for the Discovery Hybrid Rheometer enables parallel plate and cone-plate rheological measurements under the influence of a controlled field at temperatures as high as 170 °C and fields as high as 1 T.
A*STAR's Institute of Microelectronics (IME) and Lumerical Solutions, Inc. (Lumerical), a global provider of photonic design software, today announced they have co -developed a calibrated compact model library (CML) for IME's silicon photonics platform and process design kit (PDK). The CML will help photonic integrated circuit (PIC) designers who use IME's silicon photonics process to improve the accuracy and reliability of their designs.
UK-based SmartKem Ltd has signed Letters of Intent (LOI) with two leading Asian displays manufacturers marking significant advances in the development of its market leading tru-FLEX® semiconductor technology. The agreements signify increasing interest for SmartKem’s semiconductors, with Asian manufacturers collaborating to drive manufacturing, integration and commercialisation of organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) technology in the flexible electronic display market.
Monochromators are used to separate a broadband light source into a narrow wavelength band of interest; this is commonly achieved using a diffraction grating which can be rotated precisely through small angles. The simplicity of monochromators means that they are small, lightweight and portable. They are ideal for use in spectroscopy due to their narrow wavelength bands and ability to target specific lines.
Techsil introduces Vitralit® UV 4050 LV, a new transparent adhesive with ultra-low-viscosity for bonding plastics, glass and metals.
Avantor™ Performance Materials will unveil multiple new products and life sciences capabilities at the CPhI Worldwide 2015 exhibition, October 13-15 in Madrid, Spain.
A team of scientists from the Technische Universität Darmstadt in Germany and the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur are exploring ways of using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) for capturing and storing specific green house gases.
