Researchers closer to the ultimate green 'fridge magnet'

Magnetic refrigeration technology could provide a 'green' alternative to traditional energy-guzzling gas-compression fridges and air conditioners. They would…

Vise Squad: Putting the Squeeze on a Crystal Leads to Novel Electronics

Computers that could switch on instantly without the time-consuming process of “booting” an operating system is just one of the possibilities, according to a…

Storing a Lightning Bolt in Glass for Portable Power

Materials researchers at Penn State University have reported the highest known breakdown strength for a bulk glass ever measured. Breakdown strength, along…

New method could lead to narrower chip patterns

Such materials are not new, but the researchers found a novel way of harnessing that property to create a mask with exceptionally fine lines of transparency….

Measuring the immeasurable: New study links heat transfer, bond strength of materials

Additionally, the study shows that this flow of heat from one material to another, in this case one solid and one liquid, can be dramatically altered by…

DuPont™ Vespel® adds to its portfolio of solutions to boost efficiency, drive out costs in ‘hot, dirty’ operating environments
