Acoustic devices like mufflers and loudspeakers are all around us. In the design of such devices, computer simulations and numerical optimisation algorithms are becoming increasingly useful in order to shorten the product development time and decrease the number of physical prototypes. Esubalewe Lakie Yedeg has in his research developed computer simulation approaches and applied them to the design of various acoustic devices.

A report released by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. (LAEDC) highlights Southern California as a bubbling space and aerospace hub which is poised for blast off - just in time for Space Tech Expo and Aerospace Electrical Systems, which runs May 24-26th 2016 in Pasadena.

DELO Industrial Adhesives just introduced black adhesives that are light-curable.For light-curing processes, adhesive needs to be translucent so that photoinitiators in the entire adhesive layer can decompose and start the crosslinking reaction. Because black absorbs the majority of light, the amount that is transmitted becomes naturally lower as the layer gets thicker.

A material has been developed, which can temporarily protect and tighten skin and smooth wrinkles, by scientists at MIT, Massachusetts General Hospital, Living Proof, and Olivo Labs. With further development, it could also be used to deliver drugs to help treat skin conditions such as eczema and other types of dermatitis.

Robots today can perform space missions, solve a Rubik’s cube, sort hospital medication and even make pancakes. But most can’t manage the simple act of grasping a pencil and spinning it around to get a solid grip. Intricate tasks that require dexterous in-hand manipulation — rolling, pivoting, bending, sensing friction and other things humans do effortlessly with our hands — have proved notoriously difficult for robots.

The much anticipated Model 3 has been launched by Tesla, and with a price tag of £24,423 and a claimed range of around 215 miles per charge, it’s the company’s lowest cost vehicle to date. The price tag puts the vehicle within the average cost bracket for the US auto market, making the car a far more realistic proposition for the average person.

The research scientists at INM have succeeded in manufacturing circuit paths on thin, elastic foil made of silicone. Since these are relatively insensitive to compression and elongation strain, the electrical circuits can adapt to the curvature of appliances. Industry and product designers have a strong interest in being able to install electrical circuits such as display elements or operating controls even on the shaped surfaces of electronic ap...

Materials are needed to replace the estimated 50,000 metric tons of tin-lead solder currently used each year, but there are no 'drop-in' replacements for eutectic tin-lead solder. $1.2bn of Electrically Conductive Adhesives (ECAs) are already selling each year and they are becoming increasingly common to replace solders in a variety of functions, applications and industries.

Splitting water into its hydrogen and oxygen parts may sound like science fiction, but it's the end goal of chemists and chemical engineers like Christopher Murray of the University of Pennsylvania and Matteo Cargnello of Stanford University. They work in a field called photocatalysis, which, at its most basic, uses light to speed up chemical reactions. They've come a step closer to such a feat by tailoring the structure of a material called tita...

Master Bond MasterSil 910Med is a one part acetoxy type silicone system that meets USP Class VI specifications for biocompatibility and ISO 10993-5 testing for cytotoxicity. This translucent paste also withstands many sterilisation methods, including liquid sterilants, gamma radiation and EtO.
