Barton Blakeley Technologies (BBT) has developed the first carbon conversion system, converting CO2 emissions into hydrophobic silica.
Researchers from the University of Southampton, working with colleagues at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), have developed a new technology based on nanoparticles to kill dangerous bacteria that hide inside human cells.
Linkam Scientific Instruments will be exhibiting at its first US tradeshow since 2020, the Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall meeting, in Boston, MA.
With silicon-based semiconducting technology reaching its maximum limit of performance, new materials that may substitute or partially substitute silicon in technology are highly anticipated.
A team of researchers from China, Australia and Poland has developed a lithography-free method to synthesize vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes (VA-MWCNTs). These VA-MWCNTs - synthesized by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on a nickel catalyst - have tunable pitch and size.

These tiny, man-made materials boast extraordinary properties – they are the darkest material humans can create, they absorb light so well they can produce thermal energy, and they're able to mimic nature to help the body fight bacteria.
Spectral light sources are one of the key basic modules of all upcoming advanced optical technology. High demands are made by different applications in fundamental science, medical diagnostics, and environmental screening with independently different requirements in terms of spectral range and uniformity, stability, and intensity.
Any wound that isn’t treated in the appropriate manner can create a whole host of problems. However, when a chronic wound becomes infected, it presents many adverse complications, including impaired healing, increased exposure to pathogens, and the potential of serious infection, such as sepsis.

The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is a potential sustainable energy storage system. The ion-exchange membrane (IEM) used in a VRFB cell avoids a cathode or anode short circuit and prevents electrolyte crossover and side reactions. The membrane enables proton conduction to maintain the cell electrically neutral.
PI’s new H-811 vacuum compatible miniature 6-axis hexapod robotic stage provides high performance and high accuracy motion in a very small package.
A team of researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology has developed a high-performance Scanning Ion Conductance Microscope (SICM) using the latest advances in nanopositioning, nanopore fabrication, microelectronics and controls engineering.

Andrey Galukhin, group leader and Associate Professor at Kazan Federal University, performed a new study that examines the processes of polymerization of trifunctional aryl cyanate in melt and in a solution of diphenyl sulfone.
The treatment of diseases like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s is difficult as drugs should be able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Thus, the administered doses must be high, with only a small fraction reaching the brain. This can cause major systemic side effects.
Scientists have formulated a method using which they can freely encapsulate microscopic droplets of water and oil emulsion in a minute sphere made of salt crystals — similar to a tiny, self-constructing origami soccer ball packed with liquid.
