Professor Do Hyun Ryu's research team in the Department of Chemistry at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed two new asymmetric catalytic methods for the precise synthesis of complex molecules using chiral organic catalysts. The team demonstrated that a single catalyst can promote two different carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions with high selectivity.
Ascensus Specialties today announced the appointment of Dr. Emma Sceats as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, succeeding Paul Burlingame, who will transition to an advisory role supporting the Board and leadership team.
IPS Gate®, KLS Martin’s web-based platform for planning, ordering, and delivering its Individual Patient Solutions (IPS®) now offers patient-specific 3D-printed implants made with Lithoz’s calcium phosphate material LithaBone TCP as a widely available product.
Dedicated carbon monoxide measurement complements Hiden mass spectrometry for syngas, biogas and catalysis applications.
Reducing vehicle weight is one of the most effective ways to improve transport efficiency and lower emissions.
Researchers developed biodegradable films from mango kernel starch and eggshell powder, identifying a formulation that combined tensile strength, flexibility, low moisture content, and improved thermal stability. The selected film lost 36.43% of its mass during a 28-day controlled soil-burial test, although the authors caution that degradation rates may differ under other environmental conditions.

Stratasys Ltd. announced the launch of the new F870™ FDM® system, a large-format additive manufacturing platform designed for industrial manufacturers, automotive OEMs, aerospace & defense production lines, looking to scale production on the factory floor.
Researchers developed lightweight polyester camouflage fabrics coated with screen-printed polymer composites containing carbon black-based pigments and tested their radar attenuation, thermal transmission, and mechanical durability. The study found that electromagnetic performance depended on pigment formulation, binder chemistry, coating uptake, and textile structure, with the strongest attenuation recorded in the tested 8-12 GHz X-band.

A Defense Technology review examines how tunable plasma layers could absorb, reflect, refract, and scatter radar signals to reduce the radar cross-section of aircraft and other military platforms. The authors assess plasma-generation methods, hybrid stealth systems, and the substantial challenges in power, stability, communication, and integration that still separate laboratory research from operational use.

A review of durable superhydrophobic materials reframes surface design around three dominant failure modes: structural degradation, loss of low-surface-energy chemistry, and coating-substrate interfacial failure. The authors connect fabrication choices with failure-matched testing and examine fluorine-free chemistries, protected architectures, self-healing systems, and interface engineering as routes toward longer service life in demanding environments.
