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.

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.
