University of Vienna Researchers Control Ordering of Self-Assembling Structures

Imagine a tower builds itself into the desired structure only by choosing the appropriate bricks. Absurd – and however, in the nano world this is reality: There an unordered crowd of components can initiate the formation of an ordered structure – a process known as self-assembly.

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.

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.
