Solar cells that are extremely lightweight, flexible, and thin can be placed on any kind of surface or material, which may include smartphones, helium balloons or even a sheet of paper.
RocTool, the technology and manufacturing solutions provider, enriches its range and launches new RocTool Performance Cooling (RPC) units! They are used to complement its induction heating process for plastic injection and composites processes. “RocTool Systems & Engineering teams have developed a wide range of new performance cooling units to meet the manufacturers’ growing demand in our Heat & Cool technologies in production globally” says Jean-François Martinez, RocTool’s Manager for Systems and Peripherals.
The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has recently acquired the digital prototyping assets of CIT Technology Limited (CIT) and its associated licences and know-how. Going forward the technology will be available under the name of Inkjet Flex®.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have produced a thin-film material whose electrical and phase characteristics can be altered between two crystal states - one semiconducting and one metallic - by applying an electrical charge.
In a joint study, scientists from the MIPT (Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology), ICP (Institute of Chemical Physics) named after Semenov, MSU (Moscow State University) and IPCP (Institute of Problems of Chemical Physics) have developed a mechanism of laser deposition of patterns on glass with a resolution of 1000 times lower than the wideth of a human hair. Focusing the laser was conducted with the help of small glass spheres, playing the role of the lens. This mechanism allows inexpensively and relatively easy to apply complex patterns to a glass surface, whereby obtaining a spatial resolution of less than 100 nanometers.
Ferrotec Corporation today announces that the largest pure-play GaAs foundry company, WIN Semiconductors Corp., has selected Temescal systems from Ferrotec Corporation for its next stage of expansion by ordering multiple e-beam evaporators for metal deposition. A total of $8.4M in orders for Auratus enhanced UEFC series Temescal systems have been placed in 2015.
The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has recently partnered with NovaCentrix to install a specialist system designed for the high speed photonic curing of printed electronics inks. The NovaCentrix PulseForge 1300 state-of-the-art system is the first of its kind in the UK to be available to clients on an open access basis and will aid the commercialisation of a host of applications including printed sensing and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC) antennas for smart packaging. The recent installation builds upon CPI’s existing capability for the market adoption of printed sensing technologies, allowing companies to develop and scale up their concepts from laboratory scale right through to pilot production.
The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is working with major speciality chemical manufacturer Croda Europe, NiTech Solutions and The University of Cambridge’s Institute for Manufacturing on a collaborative research and development project to develop a novel method for the continuous production of a range of market-leading surfactants.
German industrial machining and tooling equipment manufacturer, Trumpf, has added another type of metal 3D printing technology to its portfolio.
Asynt announces that Rapid Powders Ltd. (Stoke-on-Trent, UK) has been using a PressureSyn High Pressure Reactor to undertake series of process experiments using small amounts of precious materials to produce optimally functionalised polymers.
