Non-magnetic, lightweight hermetic housings are bespoke
Bespoke hermetic housings cater for a diverse range of customer requirements, says Schott. The company provides customised hermetic microelectronic housings (MCM) to protect sensitive electronics, in a variety of materials. Various non-magnetic housings use light metals and alloys, such as titanium, aluminum and Monel, which can be made to match applications in microwave housings for a variety of sectors such as radar systems and aerospace applic...
Survival of the fittest: materials discovery
Research led by Rein Ulijn, Director of the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC)'s Nanoscience Initiative and Professor of Chemistry at Hunter College is setting the way for the development of dynamically-evolving polymers that form spontaneously by adapting to their environment, and could lead to a number of product possibilities including drug delivery, food science and cosmetics, the results of which were published in Nature Nanotechno...
