New research from the group of Joshua Yuan, professor and chair of energy, environmental and chemical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis' McKelvey School of Engineering, may soon lead to even lighter, stronger carbon fiber -- and stronger plastics -- all using what is currently a waste product.
The new PRESTO A38, A41, W41, A70, and W93 process systems will be presented for the first time at ACHEMA.
Visit Luxinar at booth #1855 to see cutting-edge OEM and SR series CO2 lasers, designed for precision in battery manufacturing and industrial applications.
Research into utilizing waste products has benefited several industries in recent years, improving their sustainability. Writing in the journal Energies, a team of scientists from Armenia and Poland has investigated the use of waste coffee and alcohol products to produce biofuels.

3D-Micromac AG, the industry leader in laser micromachining and roll-to-roll laser systems for the semiconductor, photovoltaic (PV), medical device and electronics markets, announced today that its microVEGA™ xMR laser-based annealing system was recognized among the best by the 2022 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards.
For both energy and environmental issues, researchers are interested in the photocatalytic water splitting process. Using light energy and a catalyst, water is divided into oxygen and hydrogen in this process.
The secret to lossless current flow is superconductors. However, the development of superconducting diodes has only lately emerged as a crucial area for basic research.
Imagine being able to use commonplace objects like sea salt and a piece of cloth to capture moisture in the air surrounding humans to generate electricity, or even power commonplace gadgets with a non-toxic battery that is as thin as paper.
In a paper recently published in the journal Polymers, researchers aimed to develop an active polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and corn starch-based thermoplastic starch (TPS) film to be used in food packaging equipped with the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of watermelon rind extract combined with a glycerol plasticizer.
