The mystifying physics of paint-on semiconductors
Some novel materials that sound too good to be true turn out to be true and good. An emergent class of semiconductors, which could affordably light up our future with nuanced colors emanating from lasers, lamps, and even window glass, could be the latest example.These materials are very radiant, easy to process from solution, and energy-efficient.
Coloured bacteria could develop paints and coatings
Researchers have unlocked the genetic code behind some of the brightest and most vibrant colours in nature. The paper, published in the journal PNAS, is the first study of the genetics of structural colour - as seen in butterfly wings and peacock feathers - and paves the way for genetic research in a variety of structurally coloured organisms.
The heart of carbon nanotube clusters
Integrating nanoscalefibres such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into commercial applications, from coatings for aircraft wings to heat sinks for mobile computing, requires them to be produced in large scale and at low cost. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a promising approach to manufacture CNTs in the needed scales, but it produces CNTs that are too sparse and compliant for most applications.
Protection and a five-sided attack on manufacturing inefficiencies
At this year’s MACH taking place from the 9th-13th April at the NEC, the latest version of VERICUT, V8.1, will be featured on CGTech’s stand 626, Hall 17.VERICUT operates independently, but can also be integrated with leading CAD/CAM systems, including Dassault Systemes CATIA, Siemens PLM NX, Autodesk PowerMill and FeatureCAM, Vero EdgeCAM, DP Technologies Esprit, CNC Software MasterCAM, Missler TopSolidCAM and Open Mind HyperMil, to ...
Prismatic machining, turning and grinding centres on show at MACH
This year at the MACH exhibition taking place 9-13th April in NEC Birmingham NCMT will be showcasing a range of prismatic machining, turning and grinding centres from Okuma. All Okuma machines are sold and serviced exclusively in the UK and Ireland by NCMT, and can be found on stand H19-640 at MACH 2018.
Technique produces DNA wire biosensors
KTH researchers reported a nanoengineering innovation that offers hope for treatment of cancer, infections and other health problems – conductive wires of DNA enhanced with gold which could be used to electrically measure hundreds of biological processes simultaneously.
Fast drying emptied completely and cleaned in a flash
Following the manufacture by wet chemical processes, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients are precipitated or crystallisaed out from the solvent. The subsequent steps are usually isolation and drying.Hygienic drying in a vacuum requires a lot of attributes. The innovative spherical dryer design provides the highest performance according process control and latest GMP standards. De Dietrich Process Systems is currently delivering several units in tha...
IC wafer fabs closed or repurposed from 2009-2017
Since the global economic recession of 2008-2009, the IC industry has been on a mission to pare down older capacity (i.e., ≤200mm wafers) in order to produce devices more cost effectively on larger wafers.
Software release accelerates pace of product innovation
Altairhas announced the release of Inspire 2018 simulation-driven design software. Available through its solidThinking channel partner network and directly to its HyperWorks user community, Inspire 2018 marks another milestone in Altair’s leadership in generative design, optimisation and simulation.
Resistance and laser solutions to solve space and accessibility issues
As the use of electric motors in automobile power trains has increased, stator welding has become an established manufacturing process. Development of a robust and stable stator welding process is critical, since the many connections between stator coils and the 'outside world' are essential for reliable engine performance.
