Master Bond MasterSil 151TC was developed to improve thermal management for electronic assemblies in bonding and gap filling applications. This 100% solids silicone compound features excellent thermal conductivity and superior electrical insulation properties. Volume resistivity is >1014ohm-cm.

Have you ever made a bet that you instantly regretted? Many Twitter users might have thought this when Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, struck a deal with Australian software entrepreneur Mike Cannon-Brookes to build a 100MW (129MWh) lithium battery.The terms of the deal were clear: if Tesla takes more than 100 days to build the wind-charged battery, the state will get it for free.

Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman at IDTechEx discusses the threeaspirations for long distance EVs.All the publicity currently goes to the race to make regular and premium cars have longer range. This isbecause most people want only one car so it must be capable of the long distance trip however rare.That must be achieved despite the inadequacy of charging points in number, speed and compatibilty of interface and payment means.

The closer autonomous vehicles inch towards a day-to-day reality, the more questions the concept seems to throw at us. Despite assurances from autonomous vehicle pioneers such as Elon Musk, there are still reservations around how, for example, automated vehicles will interact with each other and their surrounding environment, and how will the issues around security be resolved?

A strange visitor, either asteroid or comet,zipping through our solar system at a high rate of speed is giving astronomers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to examine up close an object from somewhere else in our galaxy.“It’s a really rare object,” explains Ralf Kotulla, a University of Wisconsin–Madison astronomer who, with colleagues from UCLA and the NOAO, used the 3.5 meter WIYN Telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona, to ta...

An artificial heart would be an absolute lifesaver for people with cardiac failure. However, to recreate the complex organ in the laboratory, one would first need to work out how to grow multi-layered, living tissues. Researchers at Empa have now come one step closer to this goal: by means of a spraying process, they have created functioning musclefibres.

A quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions produced in Europe can be attributed to the transportation sector and figures have actually risen since 1990 levels. While there is no silver bullet solution to this, investment in Electric Vehicles (EVs) is one way of helping to bear the load.

In response to the news that Dyson is planning toproduce all-electric cars by 2020, Professor of Innovation, Jeremy Howells of theKent Business Schoolat the University of Kent commented on the matter.

A reusable, water-powered Mars lander that will allow humans to explore the Red Planet from an orbiting 'base camp' as early as the 2030s was unveiled Friday by US defence giant Lockheed Martin.Governments and private firms are collaborating on projects to send humans to new frontiers, with NASA planning missions next decade into the space between Earth and the Moon to prepare for trips to Mars.

Amyloid fibrils are infamous for the role they play in serious neurological diseases in humans, such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. One trigger for Alzheimer’s disease is the misfolding and aggregation of proteins such as tau and ABeta. This causes the formation of tiny fibrils that then accumulate in the brain. Specialists refer to these fibres as amyloid fibrils.
