Global megatrends are fundamentally changing our lives, and science can help shape them in a positive way.

The vast majority of Britons (84%) believe it’s important to increase diversity and inclusion in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields, according to 3M’s SOSI (State of Science Index). However, the majority (76%) agree that there are barriers standing in the way of students currently accessing a strong STEM education.

3M is introducing Glass Bubbles from 3M for 5G, the newest member of its high-strength hollow glass bubbles product line, provides a unique, low-loss high speed high frequency (HSHF) resin additive for composite materials that designers use to build 5G devices and assemblies. 3M Glass Bubbles help designers enable products that can meet the rigorous transmission requirements and increased power demands that come with 5G implementation, while lowe...

Universal Science has signed a channel partnership agreement with 3M. Under the new arrangement, Universal Science will collaborate with, and utilise 3M’s wide range of materials in the application-specific solutions it develops, working closely in support of design teams within its growing global customer base. The primary objective of the partnership agreement is to significantly enhance the service, technologies and solutions availa...

The science-based technology company, 3M, has announced that 3M Novec Engineered Fluids are helping poultry hens at Glenhead of Aldouran to not only produce thousands of eggs, but also create enough chicken manure to generate heat and power for the farm. 

  Oldham, a company within the 3M Group, Personal Safety Division has announced the launch of a new infrared sensor for detection of refrigerant gases and SF6. The OLCT 100 is a 4-20mA analogue gas transmitter designed for industrial applications in hazardous locations.

When Joe’s heart-rate monitor kept falling off, he asked his doctor, “Isn’t there a better way to make it stick?” Thanks to 3M, there is. The company that makes everything from Post-it® Notes to structural adhesives that hold airplanes together, also makes advanced medical adhesives that can hold for up to two weeks. When considering adhesive science and the challenges of a substrate like skin, design engineers kn...

A supersonic car expected to smash the land speed record has returned to 3M’s Atherstone facility for a final paint job, which will be more than just cosmetic.

3M has expanded its range of Novec Engineered Fluids with a new version designed for the more demanding types of metal cleaning applications.  In common with other Novec Engineered Fluids, 3M says it has excellent health, safety and environmental properties in line with all current regulations, making it a safe and sustainable choice.

3M has created a set of resources for users of Trichloroethylene – more commonly known as Trike or TCE – to help them manage the ‘sunset date’ for this popular cleaning fluid, widely used in metal component manufacturing and preparation processes.

3M has announced the worldwide launch of its new projected capacitive (PCAP) Multi-Touch Systems using 3M proprietary ultrafine Metal Mesh conductor design. At just 3µm wide, the ultrafine mesh conductor allows a more vibrant, high quality optical viewing experience when integrated into a Multi-Touch Display.

Avago Technologies today announced two series of compact LEDs that reduce space requirements for designing auto-focus auxiliary flash functionality into digital cameras. The new ASMT-FJ70 and ASMT-FG70 devices are available in one of the market’s thinnest, smallest-footprint packages for LEDs with the brightness needed for auto-focus functionality in dark settings.

austriamicrosystems has announced the release of the latest additions to the company’s comprehensive LED TV driver and support IC portfolio. The new ICs include three LED drivers and a new LED power supply IC. These new devices plus other LED drivers will be demonstrated at the FPD International Exhibition & Convention, October 26 - 28, in Yokohama, Japan. austriamicrosystems will also be demonstrating the company’s complete ambie...

Pete shows how to increase the accuracy of your measurements using the PicoScope 9000 when making rise-time measurements in optical signals that have a high level of uncertainty and jitter.

Although it is relatively straightforward to design a basic LED driver for a general lighting application, it becomes far more complex when additional functionality such as phase cut dimming and power factor correction are also required. A non-dimming LED driver with no power factor correction generally consists of an off line switching power supply configured to regulate the output at a constant current. This is not much different from a standar...

3M, has used its continuous innovation and creativity to develop and introduce three new lines of 3M silicone laminating adhesive tapes, giving OEMs and converters the ability to achieve high bond strengths to silicone, one of the hardest to bond surfaces because of its very low surface energy.
