Shape memory alloys can “remember” a condition. If they are deformed, a temperature change can be enough to bring them back to their original shape. A simulation calculates the characteristics of these materials.
The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) at the University at Albany, and Novellus Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVLS) , a Silicon Valley-based provider of advanced process equipment for the global nanoelectronics...
Wacker Chemie AG bestowed its annual “Alexander Wacker Innovation Award” on Dr. Philipp Müller yesterday for his development of a new class of high-performance optical silicones. Uniquely, these novel silicone elastomers allow optical lenses for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to be produced directly on an LED chip.
Surgical adhesives, which can be used to seal tissues after an operation or to repair wounds, are becoming increasingly important parts of a doctor's toolkit. However, their one-size-fits-all nature means that existing adhesives, or glues, work well in some cases but not in others.
A team of researchers from the University of Huelva has developed an environmentally-friendly lubricating grease based on ricin oil and cellulose derivatives, according to the journal Green Chemistry. The new formula does not include any of the contaminating components used to manufacture traditional industrial lubricants.
UC Riverside's Chun Ning (Jeanie) Lau has received a national honor that few outstanding researchers who are beginning their independent research careers are given.
Edmonton-University of Alberta biological sciences professor Gregg Goss is on the front line of a new effort to monitor the effects of nanomaterials on the environment.
Efficient energy transport plays an important role in the development of optoelectonic materials. The true masters of energy transfer via a hierarchical arrangement of different molecules are the photosynthetic mechanism...
By optimising magnets, hybrid and electric cars can be made economically competitive. This is the finding of a research project currently underway at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences (Austria). The project is examining the ideal composition and structure for high-performance permanent magnets intended for use in cars.
University of Queensland metals researchers have scooped the pools at a unique science event held on the Gold Coast recently.
Called Technology on Tap, the event challenged scientists to explain their research in les...
