Featuring Corro-Slick coated 300 series stainless steel rails and contoured WDX Polymer blocks is the FDA/USDA/3A-Diary compliant, Water Dog Sliders from LM76.Water Dog Sliders can be washed down with the most aggressive chemicals and caustic foaming agents and have an operating temperature range of – 400° to 180°F.

Four of Groupe Renault's strategic technology partners – OSVehicle, ARM, Pilot and Sensoria - are presenting open-innovation and open-source projects at CES this week, illustrating new ways of thinking about mobility as technology meets transportation.

Almost all solid materials, from rubber and glass to granite and steel, inevitably expand when heated. Only in very rare instances do certain materials buck this thermodynamic trend and shrink with heat. For instance, cold water will contract when heated between 0 and 4ºC, before expanding.Engineers from MIT, the University of Southern California, and elsewhere are now adding to this curious class of heat-shrinking materials.

A new catalyst material developed by chemists at MIT provides key insight into the design requirements for producing liquid fuels from carbon dioxide, the leading component of greenhouse gas emissions. The findings suggest a route toward using the world’s existing infrastructure for fuel storage and distribution, without adding net greenhouse emissions to the atmosphere.

Moisture can be harmful to circuit boards, optical devices, electronics, and items in museum storage. Mildew, mould, rust, and an overall decrease in product efficacy are all common effects of moisture, costing millions in returned or unusable products each year.

The huge doses of drugs required to combat cancer could be reduced thanks to the work of A*STAR researchers, and the drugs themselves may become more effective. The researchers have developed a polymeric 'scaffold' that helps drugs that often have trouble entering the bloodstream, such as anti-cancer agents, form highly stable nanoparticles with improved bioavailability.

A mid-air display of 'floating pixels' has been created by scientists.Researchers at the Universities of Sussex and Bristol have used soundwaves to lift many tiny objects at once before spinning and flipping them using electric force fields.The technology – called JOLED - effectively turns tiny, multi-coloured spheres into real-life pixels, which can form into floating displays or bring computer game characters to life as physical objects.

In a paper for the journal Nature Energy, a Los Alamos National Laboratory research team demonstrates an important step in taking quantum dot, solar-powered windows from the laboratory to the construction site by proving that the technology can be scaled up from palm-sized demonstration models to windows large enough to put in and power a building.

Ophir Photonics Group, a Newport company, has announced the FluxGage, a compact, all-in-one LED luminaire measurement system. The patent-pending FluxGage measures flux, color, and flicker, important quantities for evaluating the performance of LED-based products.The measurement system is three times smaller and lower cost than equivalent integrating sphere products.

Physicists at MIT have cooled a gas of potassium atoms to several nanokelvins and trapped the atoms within a 2D sheet of an optical lattice created by crisscrossing lasers. Using a high-resolution microscope, the researchers took images of the cooled atoms residing in the lattice.By looking at correlations between the atoms’ positions in hundreds of such images, the team observed individual atoms interacting in some rather peculiar ways, ba...
