Porvair Sciences, in conjunction with researchers at Swansea University (UK) have written a new technical article entitled 'Chromatrap® 96: a new solid-state platform for high-throughput Chromatin Immunoprecipita...
The international technology group SCHOTT offers a broad range of sealing glasses for use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). These glass solders help to hermetically seal cells and stacks that consist of metallic and ceramic compounds. They are used with nearly all types of fuel cells and provide significant advantages, especially for high-temperature SOFCs, due to their high resistance to heat.
University of Pittsburgh engineers have received grants to develop modeling and simulation technologies and standard qualification methods for additive manufacturing (AM), which is widely known as 3D printing. AM enables production of metal components with complex structures having distinctive lattice geometries. However, the quality standards required for testing as well as the modeling processes used have not kept up with the advances in technology.

Trials of an alternative thermocouple sheath have delivered significant cost and time savings for a components manufacturer which caters for some of the world’s leading automotive industry operations. In tests carried out at its plant in Aurangabadin India; High Technology Transmission Systems Pvt Ltd found that thermocouple assemblies supplied by Morgan’s Molten Metal Systems business outlasted even their manufacturer’s estimated operational life, far out-performing the existing solutions available to the company.
Asynt has introduced a new range of Gas Bubblers that enable chemists to visibly confirm that their reaction system is being flushed with an inert gas such as nitrogen.
Engineers at the University of Utah have found a new way to produce “topological insulators”, which possess a large energy gap. This study has been led by Feng Liu, a materials science and engineering professor, at the University of Utah. Topological insulators could help develop superfast computers that do not get over heated when performing hi-speed calculations.

Swedish Steel Yachts (SSY) has built a new stainless steel boat named “Elvira” using Outokumpu duplex stainless steel. This innovative boat is the first boat to be constructed completely out of stainless steel and can withstand harsh winter weather conditions.
The ultra-high vacuum(UHV) pressure regime extends down to less than 10E-11 mbar and provides the optimum environment for the investigation of pure, uncontaminated surfaces and of intermolecular reactions generated by ion, electron and photon stimulation.
Verotec, the specialist thermal management and electronic enclosure manufacturer, has supplied a major US-based defence contractor with custom design intelligent fan trays for a major defence project. The 19-inch rack-mounted 1U trays have six fans, strategically located within the tray to maximise the cooling of critical elements of the electronic system located above the fan tray.
Join the University of Maryland's Tablets & Capsules Short Course to master pharmaceutical manufacturing techniques and materials characterization methods.
A team of researchers at Penn State University have created a new method to produce ultra-thin ‘diamond nanothreads’. This material is expected to possess exceptional stiffness and strength compared to existing high strength polymers and nanotubes.

Researchers from MIT have designed and created new waterproof adhesives which can be used to repair ships or to heal surgical inclusions and wounds. The researchers drew inspiration from shellfish like barnacles and mussels, which secrete highly sticky proteins enabling them to adhere to ship hulls and rocks underwater.
