Water is essential for life. Nevertheless, even small amounts of water in the wrong places - such as fuels, lubricants, or organic solvents - can cause motors to sputter, metal parts to rust, or chemical reactions to go ...
Structured Materials Industries, Inc. (SMI) reports that it has received a DARPA Phase I SBIR to enhance high intensity lamp performance. Performance will be enhanced through the use of optical coatings that allow the la...
Research at CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory has shown that incorporating nanoparticles into body armour can make it lighter, more flexible and more effective.
Current body armour relies on a stiff and relatively heavy laye...
MetaMateria Partners, LLC, a subsidiary of leading nanomaterial manufacturer NanoDynamics, Inc., today announced the acquisition of Pourous Ceramic Shapes LLC including all technology and Cell-Pore products. The company&...
It’s all a question of the right recipe – in chemistry as in breadbaking: the finished result should be crusty, but not burnt. In the next generation of chemical flame retardants, nanoparticles incorporated i...
Inspired by the remarkable hairs that allow geckos to hang single-toed from sheer walls and scamper along ceilings, a team of researchers led by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, has created an array o...
Viscotek, the leader in multiple detector characterisation of polymers, proteins and nanoparticulate materials, has received a large multi-instrument order from the prestigious, new Centre for Materials Discovery (CMD) a...
Day-to-day experience teaches us that stretching an object makes it thinner; pushing it together makes it thicker. However, there are also materials that behave contrary to our expectations: they get thicker when stretch...
Bitumen is used in traditional asphalting, a sub-product that remains after successive oil refining, and dry goods, stones that confer stiffness on roads. Bitumen acts as adhesive but, as it is a very viscous material, i...
Computer designers at the University of Rochester are going ballistic.
"Everyone has been trying to make better transistors by modifying current designs, but what we really need is the next paradigm," says ...
