The aviation industry chooses Seco/Warwick vacuum furnaces

Seco/Warwick, Meadville, PA announced that their previous furnace with an aviation industry client will be retired and replaced by a new, economical, and versatile furnace for brazing jet engine parts. Seco/Warwick has been a recognized metal heat treatment equipment manufacturer for decades. In fact in many plants, units were manufactured in the 1980s and 1990s. […]

Engineering cellular scaffolding to advance nanotechnologies

By channeling a living cell’s machinery, Princeton researchers Meisam Zaferani and Ryungeun Song 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.

Nanosized blocks spontaneously assemble in water to create tiny floating checkerboards

The scientific community has successfully engineered nanosized cubes that exhibit the remarkable ability to spontaneously form a two-dimensional checkerboard pattern when placed on the surface of water. This innovative research introduces a simple and efficient approach to creating complex nanostructures through the application of a technique known as self-assembly. “It’s a cool way to get […]
