An Innovate UK funded project focused on developing a smart integrated monitoring system for offshore energy subsea cables has drawn to a close following successful tests at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney.
Lithium-ion batteries typically used in consumer electronics are infamous for bursting into flame when damaged or wrongly packaged.
Trelleborg’s offshore operation has recently been awarded DNV-GL certification for its Vikodeck™ fireproofing tiles. Manufactured using Trelleborg’s next-generation Firestop™ material, the newly certified Vikodeck™ tiles are lighter and thinner than any current passive fire protection materials available to the market and can be tailored to withstand various chemical and mechanical conditions.
Scientists may be able to alter materials for thermal conductivity by using a squid-inspired protein composed of multiple DNA repeats.
General Plastics Manufacturing Company, a global supplier of high-performance polyurethane foam products and composite parts, today announced the launch of LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4800 high-temperature tooling board. It is a thermally-stable tooling board ideal for use in applications with challenging performance requirements found in the aerospace, automotive and composite-manufacturing industries. It fills the gap for companies producing high-tolerance parts and who are looking for a tooling system that is both cost-effective and dimensionally predictable and stable.
Objects entering water is a common phenomenon, but a complete understanding of the physics of water entry continues to be mysterious.
Terahertz radiation can be applied for a broad range of applications and is currently used for airport security checks and also for the analysis of materials in the laboratory. This radiation’s wavelength is in the millimeter range, indicating that it is considerably larger than the wavelength of visible light. It also needs specialized methods to manipulate the beams to get them into the correct shape.
Scientists have created a solid polymer electrolyte that can be used in lithium-ion batteries to substitute the liquid electrolyte in lithium batteries.
An international group of scientists, headed by Harvard University, have built a dynamic surface with reconfigurable topography. The surface has the ability to sculpt and re-sculpt microscale to macroscale features, modify its slipperiness and friction, and adjust other properties depending upon its proximity to a magnetic field.
Bendable portable keyboards that can be used with computers and other electronic devices have already available in the market.
