Phoseon Technology Introduces the FireJet™ FJ100 Air-Cooled Products for UV LED Curing

Phoseon Technology introduces the FireJet™ FJ100 air-cooled products for UV LED curing. These new UV light sources provide high irradiance in a small form factor making them easy to integrate into space limited environments. FireJet FJ100 products are available in multiple wavelengths (365, 385, 395, and 405nm), multiple curing lengths (75mm, 150mm, and 225mm) all with 20mm wide curing window and are ideally suited for electronics manufacturing and assembly, wood coatings, and wide format printing applications where small form factor but high peak irradiance is vitally important.

MIT Researchers Develop Water Desalination Membrane Containing Nanoscale Pores

Consider the nearest water surface: a half-full glass on your desk, a puddle outside your window, or a lake across town. All of these surfaces represent liquid-vapor interfaces, where liquid meets air. Molecules of water vapor constantly collide with these liquid surfaces: Some make it through the surface and condense, while others simply bounce off.
