A sneaker that has better traction even in the rain can be made by taking cues from snakes. This is the concept behind new research that analyzes snakeskin to assist engineers in enhancing the design of textured surfaces, such as prosthetic joints and engine cylinder liners.
An atom’s vibrational motion in a crystal spreads to adjacent atoms, which results in wavelike propagation of the vibrations all over the crystal. The way in which these natural vibrations move through the crystalline structure define the major properties of the material.
As contradictory as this may sound, diamonds have been considered as the answer to a new method that could deliver a very-low-cost substitute to multimillion-dollar medical imaging and drug-discovery instruments.
Researchers have found out that a kind of inorganic semiconductor that does not deform properly under light could bend as much as 45% from its original form in complete darkness.
Used for thousands of years as a dependable substance, glass is a well-known concept for most. Nevertheless, there is more to glass than what is obvious. Glass is, in fact, an amorphous material with debatably as much in common with a liquid as with the solid most would think it to be.
MSU-based researchers have created a new material based on a silicon-titanium gel and a dye agent. The material is able to rapidly identify if detrimental oxalate ions are present in food products even in field conditions.
Metrohm is pleased to present a fully automated solution for the determination of Total Acid Number (TAN) and Total Base Number (TBN) in up to 112 samples. This solution is based on the OMNIS Sample Robot and addresses the needs of QC laboratories in the petrochemical industry as well as contract laboratories looking for an efficient solution to cope with high sample loads at the lowest possible cost per sample.
Metrohm expands the OMNIS Titration Platform enabling users to perform volumetric Karl Fischer titrations. The OMNIS Karl Fischer Titrator addresses the needs of users for ease of use and protection from solvents and reagents with a whole range of innovative features.
Automating volumetric titration in whole series of samples used to be a challenge: Firstly, there is the risk of ambient moisture compromising sample integrity, and secondly, there is the necessity to start the titration in due time for each sample.
Crude oil is the «lubricant» of the world’s economy. Numerous parameters define the quality of petroleum products and their derivatives. Metrohm’s new brochure «Petrochemical Analysis» is a summary of the most important of these quality parameters and the methods used to check them. Metrohm’s complete know-how (instruments and applications) on petrochemical analysis is accessible on the new webpage petro.metrohm.com
