Exova, the global testing, calibration and advisory services provider, has been granted authorisation by aircraft manufacturer Airbus to proceed with its specification AITM 1-0003, which governs Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) testing.
Pittcon is pleased to announce the 2015 Short Courses (March 7-12). With more than 100 from which to choose, there are a wide variety of classes covering relevant topics in food science, water/wastewater, environmental, life science, pharmaceutical, nanotechnology, fuels and analytical chemistry.
Nitash Balsara, a battery scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), and Joseph DeSimone of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, have together discovered a non-flammable electrolyte that holds promise for safe lithium batteries.
Scientists at the University of Groningen have created a breakthrough in producing graphene on an industrial scale without affecting its properties. Graphene has been a "miracle material" when it comes to the manufacture of improved sensors, faster computers and so on. However, producing it on large scale has been a complex task until now.
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, along with support from BASF, have developed a broad color palette of electrochromic polymer materials that can be used for tinting windows, sunglasses and other such applications that are dependent upon an electric current for producing color changes.

Magritek, a leading provider of compact NMR and MRI instruments, report on the use of their Spinsolve Benchtop NMR spectrometer for reaction monitoring studies in the Cronin Group in the Chemistry Department of the University of Glasgow.
A team of researchers from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has discovered (in a step-wise and on a microscopic level) the way some steels fracture when they are subjected to excessive loads. Their findings will be useful to enhance these materials, which can be productively used in the automobile sector.
