Moissanite has a fascinating history. In 1893, Dr. Henry Moissan, a French chemist, examined rock samples from Meteor Crater in northern Arizona, and at first mistakenly identified what he found as diamonds. In 1904, he correctly identified the crystals as silicon carbide. The mineral form of silicon carbide was named moissanite in his honor. Until the 1950s, no other source for moissanite other than meteorites had been encountered.
A new injectable material designed to deliver drug therapies and sensor technology to targeted areas within the human body is being developed by a Texas A&M University biomedical engineer who says the system can lock its payload in place and control how it is released.
Researchers have discovered an efficient and easy-to-use method for bonding together gels and biological tissues. A team headed by Ludwik Leibler, involving researchers from the Laboratory of Soft Matter Sciences and Engineering Physico-Chemistry of Polymers and Dispersed Media (CNRS/ UPMC/ESPCI ParisTech), has succeeded in obtaining very strong adhesion between two gels by spreading on their surface a solution containing nanoparticles.
Users of standard-sized wrapped bearings now have a cost-effective option for higher-performance bearings made of ToughMet® material, a unique copper-nickel-tin alloy made exclusively by Materion Performance Alloys, a Materion Corporation business. As a result of a new collaboration between Materion and Bowman International Ltd. (Bowman), a U.K. company, Bowman has launched a new product line, BowMet®, featuring standard size, thin-walled wrapped bearings that will outperform steel, bronze and other materials even in the most severe conditions.
Nordson DAGE, a division of Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ: NDSN), announces the launch of its XM8000 Wafer X-ray Metrology Platform at the SEMI European 3D TSV Summit taking place in Grenoble, France 20-22 January 2014.
Gateway Analytical announced today that they have acquired the RapID SPE-ls raman.ID + metal.ID® system, the latest technology in automated particle identification. This acquisition enhances existing analytical service offerings to the pharmaceutical and materials science industries, and makes Gateway one of only two analytical service laboratories in the United States that can offer this advanced technology.
Because many materials are handled in industrial applications as suspensions, engineers need to understand how to predict their flow properties. However, they have been hard-pressed to understand DST and calculate when it will occur during processing. Since concentrated suspensions are found in everything from consumer products to cement, a range of industries stand to find better ways to manage suspensions.
Scientists from Queen's University Belfast, whose research into microneedles is taking the pain out of injections, have received international recognition from one of the world's leading pharmaceutical science journals.
China Sunergy Co., Ltd. ("China Sunergy" or "the Company"), a specialized solar cell and module manufacturer, today announced that it has signed a five-year collaborative research agreement with NewSouth Innovations Pty Ltd. (NSi), a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of New South Wales, Australia (UNSW), to substantially improve solar cell efficiency by improving wafer material quality.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, has awarded $25 million over five years to a Chicago-based consortium led by Northwestern University to establish a...
