To reduce unsustainably high levels of e-waste, an expert in green chemistry at Swedish research institute Research Institutes of Sweden has switched his focus from pulp to wood in a bid to make consumer electronic devices that have no carbon footprint and are easier to recycle.
This video from tec-science describes quenching and tempering of steels as one of the most important heat treatments.
In this video, see how the team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory tests whether NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft will work properly in outer space during its upcoming 1.6 billion-mile, six-year journey to explore Jupiter’s icy moon Europa for conditions suitable for life.
By channeling a living cell’s machinery, Princeton researchers are developing a system to control the growth of microtubules. They call this robust nanotechnology platform, “cytoskeletal circuits,” with potential applications in soft robotics and new medicines.
Modern gas nitriding and nitrocarburizing furnaces are equipped with sensor systems and a process control unit that allow the measurement and automatic control of the nitriding potential (KN). The figure shows an example of how the process control can be carried out. Defined amounts of ammonia, nitrogen, and—for nitrocarburizing processes—carbon dioxide, can be chosen for […]
