Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp., Santa Barbara, Calif., released stRAMos, a next-generation Raman microscope based on photothermal detection of Stimulated Raman scattering that delivers unmatched speed, sensitivity, spatial resolution, and multimodal imaging capabilities for life science and materials research.
Through the wires: FAMU-FSU College of Engineering technology mitigates flaws in superconducting wires
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University’s Center for Advanced Power Systems and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory developed a cable design that uses multiple strands of superconducting tape, minimizing the chance of failure from defective spots within a wire.
Building a sustainable metals infrastructure: NIST report highlights key strategies
NIST has released a report outlining strategies to build a more efficient, sustainable, and resilient U.S. metals processing infrastructure, emphasizing the need for improved standards for recycled content and stronger supply chains for critical materials. Covering the full lifecycle—from mining and alloy design to manufacturing, reuse, and recycling—the report highlights that addressing these challenges is […]
Lehigh’s Blacksmithing Club to open its first dedicated lab
Lehigh University’s Blacksmithing Club is set to move into its first dedicated lab space in Whitaker Laboratory, marking a major step for its growing community of student metalworkers. The club, supported by professor Laura Moyer and partnerships with Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites and Lehigh Heavy Forge, offers hands-on experience in both traditional and modern […]
Using ultrabright X-rays to test materials for ultrafast aircraft
Designing hypersonic aircraft that travel at five to seven times the speed of sound is a major challenge because their materials must be lightweight yet capable of withstanding extreme heat and pressure. To address this, researchers at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, are developing a device […]
