Solar Atmospheres, Greenville, SC, has announced that it has been awarded Lockheed Martin Space Systems approval. With this approval, now all five Solar Atmospheres facilities are an option for our customers with Lockheed Martin requirements for thermal processing services. Steve Prout, President of Solar Atmospheres’ Greenville facility states: “We are proud to once again provide […]
Accidents happen every day, and if you drop your smartwatch, or it gets hit really hard, the device probably won’t work anymore. But now, researchers report on a soft, flexible material with “adaptive durability,” meaning it gets stronger when hit or stretched. The material also conducts electricity, making it ideal for the next generation of […]
The EU and Japan are strengthening their research relationship with the launch of an enhanced dialogue on advanced materials. Under this agreement, the EU and Japan will work on developing new materials that are used in critical sectors of the economy, such as renewable energy, batteries, zero-emission buildings and semiconductors. It aims to create a […]
In the Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop (METL) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, component and instrument technology for liquid metal fast reactors is tested in sodium at temperatures up to 650°C. This high temperature, along with the reactivity of the sodium, requires unique solutions to simple measurements. One example is monitoring the liquid […]
From lithium-ion batteries to next-generation superconductors, the functionality of many modern, advanced technologies depends on the physical property known as intercalation. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to identify in advance which of the many possible intercalated materials are stable, which necessitates a lot of trial-and-error lab work in product development. Now, in a new study, researchers from […]
