In non-contact displacement measurement applications, engineers often overlook the effects of temperature variations on the measurement accuracy of the sensor. It is therefore critical to check supplier datasheets, says Chris Jones
They say diamonds are forever, but in fact they are a metastable form of carbon that will slowly and ultimately transform into another form of carbon, graphite. It would be of great potential if materials designers could design and synthesize other long-lasting, thermodynamically metastable materials. However, this has yet to become a reality due to the lack of rational understanding of them.
Scientists have developed a new dry adhesive that bonds in extreme temperatures, a quality that could make this product suitable for space exploration and beyond. The adhesive was developed by researchers from Case Western Reserve University, Dayton Air Force Research Laboratory, and China.
As part of the Electronics Assembly with Phil Zarrow video series, Indium Corporation's Bill Jackson, Director and General Manager of Compounds, and SMT expert Phil Zarrow, President and Principal Consultant for ITM Consulting, discuss the applications of indium.
Magritek, a leading provider of compact NMR and MRI instruments, reports on how the Centre of Expertise on Sustainable Chemistry at Karel de Grote University College in Antwerp is using a Spinsolve benchtop NMR spectrometer in both teaching and research.
In the world of big data, there are limitations on storing large volumes of information. Typical home-computer hard disk drives use up a lot of power and are limited to a few terabytes per drive. Optical storage media such as Blu-ray and DVD, are energy efficient and inexpensive, however storage densities are very low because of the optical diffraction limit and planar nature of the discs. However, scientists have made progress on creating a 3D diamond chip capable of storing vastly more data compared to existing technologies.
The magnetic properties of materials have inspired technologies from traditional recording tape to advanced hard drives over the years. Scientists are continually pushing to develop new applications from magnetic behavior.
Using a revolutionary computer simulation, the University of Bristol researchers have tested a theory that was devised in the 1950s. The theory explains how atoms suppress crystallization when they arrange themselves into 3D pentagons.
The Asynt MultiCell is a lightweight, high pressure parallel reactor designed for undertaking experiments including carbonylation, hydrogenation, catalysis and supercritical fluid reactions as well as air sensitive material studies.
Chemists from Goethe University have developed a new catalyst to activate hydrogen by introducing boron compounds into a common organic molecule.
