Allectra Has Supplied Components to the STFC for the CARME Project

The vacuum chamber in the right photo is called CARME (CRYRING Array for Reaction MEasurements). It is a UKRI STFC funded project (ISOL-SRS, PI Prof. PJ Woods, University of Edinburgh), which was vacuum commissioned by the AsTEC division in STFC Daresbury Laboratory (UK), reaching 5E-12 mbar with an empty vessel except for pumps and 8 x 78 way and 2 x 78 way Allectra Sub-D connector flanges fitted.

Penguin Feathers Inspire Anti-Icing Technology

The two distinct challenges of ice build-up: water adherence and ice adherence, are often conflated in anti-icing nano surface studies. Penguin feathers are excellent natural examples of anti-icing nano surfaces. As remarkable anti-icing strategies, these feathers use two distinct mitigation mechanisms, namely water-shedding and ice-shedding.
