Ammunition Manufacturer to Purchase Ambrell EASYHEAT Induction Heating Systems

Induction is commonly used to anneal shells. In the past, many companies used inefficient gas-flame and conveyor-oven processes. Ovens require large amounts of floor space, are inefficient and the batch heating process necessitates considerable inventory costs. Meanwhile, torches are inefficient and imprecise, leading to substantial scrap costs.

Latest XY Voice Coil Positioning Stage Announced by H2W

This minimizes the amount of friction and reduces the pitch, yaw, and roll in the system. The stage is driven by three NCC series moving coil type linear actuators which are guided by parallel air bearing shafts. It is operated under closed loop position control. This system was designed specifically for an accelerometer testing application.

New Method to Achieve Efficient Thermal Cooling and Heating Using MOFs

Thermal systems use heat to produce cold, and vice versa. To do so, a material is needed that can dissipate water vapor particularly well and quickly. A new method simply applies this property as a layer onto the components.

Carbon Nanotubes and Boron Nitride Nanotubes Nearly Opposite in Characteristics

Nanotubes — microscopic cylinders the shape of drinking straws, but just one-thousandth the diameter of a human hair — have been the subject of intensive research, with potential uses ranging from solar cells to chemical sensors to reinforced composite materials. Most of the research has centered on carbon nanotubes, but other nanotubes’ properties appear to be similar.

Plasmonic Nanobubbles Can Detect and Kill Only Cancer Cells

The first preclinical study of a new Rice University-developed anti-cancer technology found that a novel combination of existing clinical treatments can instantaneously detect and kill only cancer cells — often by blowing them apart — without harming surrounding normal organs. The research, which is available online this week Nature Medicine, reports that Rice’s “quadrapeutics” technology was 17 times more efficient than conventional chemoradiation therapy against aggressive, drug-resistant head and neck tumors.
