Edinburgh Analytical and Alontia A/S, formerly known as Copenhagen Nanosystems A/S and CPHNANO, today announced the launch of the DB30 NanoIndex and DB30 NanoSize packages, expanding the DB30 Double-beam UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (DB30) beyond conventional absorbance and transmission measurements.
When a spacecraft reenters Earth's atmosphere at hypersonic velocities, its protective heat shield faces the most extreme conditions, including temperatures beyond 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
A Husker research team's latest milestone could open the door to broader use of a class of materials whose electrical properties may someday power next-generation electronics, high-density energy storage, improved computer memory and new strategies for cooling.
The study models light-duty EV and PHEV batteries across Europe through 2045, linking vehicle adoption, operating lifetimes, used-vehicle trade, evolving chemistries, second-life storage, and recycling efficiencies to estimate the recoverable amounts of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. It projects a sharp rise in recoverable material from the late 2020s, but recycled-content targets remain difficult to meet, especially for cobalt, and high reuse reduces the cumulative material available for recycling by about 20%–25% over the study period.

For decades, nonproliferation scientists and engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have helped convert the fuel in dozens of research reactors around the world so that they operate safely and more securely.
As governments and industry increase investment in quantum technologies, Element Six is helping bridge the gap between laboratory research and deployable solutions.
"Trois, deux, un – top!" The countdown ends, the engines fire up, and the Ariane 6 lifts off from its launch pad at the Kourou Space Center in French Guiana.
Forge Nano, Inc., a leading U.S.-based semiconductor equipment and advanced materials company pioneering Atomic Layer Deposition ("ALD") technology for artificial intelligence ("AI")-era chip manufacturing and defense battery applications, which has signed an agreement to merge with Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners II Co. ("Archimedes II"), today announced a Joint Development Agreement ("JDA") with Nanexa AB to develop scalable pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities for Nanexa's PharmaShell® drug delivery platform and its portfolio of proprietary and partnered programs.
Researchers developed a bioresorbable magnesium–molybdenum trioxide paper battery that reached a peak open-circuit voltage of 1.84 V and powered capsule-scale RFID and gastric electrical-stimulation systems in swine. The study also examined gastric retention and degradation, showing the battery's potential for temporary ingestible electronics while identifying further work needed on complete device biodegradability, safety, and human translation.

LECO Corporation today announced the launch of its 812 Series, the next generation of multiphase elemental analyzers engineered for rapid, simultaneous determination of carbon and moisture across organic and inorganic materials.
A rocket launch is not for the faint of heart - and certainly not for sensitive electronics either. Nevertheless, satellites must survive the vibrations during launch unscathed. In collaboration with the Swiss space company Beyond Gravity, Empa researchers have developed a solution to mitigate these dangerous vibrations.
Two engineering thermoplastics from NexPoint Materials – LEXAN™ BPL1000 and CYCOLOY™ C2950 resins – have achieved the highest rating in the UL 2597 Surface Tracking Test (STT) for high-voltage applications, at 900 V.
Argonne National Laboratory researchers proposed an AI-powered monitoring system that can spot blockages in the heat exchangers of molten-salt-cooled reactors in real time, helping prevent costly shutdowns and improve reliability for next-generation nuclear energy.
Commercial cameras can be powerful, producing images with exquisite details that mimic real life. In the lab, specially designed cameras can photograph objects in the infrared region, invisible to the naked eye.
This study models how India’s expanding electric vehicle fleet could change demand for and requirements of lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and graphite through 2060 under several deployment and battery-chemistry scenarios. Under the baseline scenario, EV battery demand reaches about 965 GWh by 2060, while recycling could reduce cumulative lithium demand by up to 54% and offset much of the demand for cobalt and manganese.
